Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy; Vampires

Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars
Back Cover: When rejection comes back to bite you… Jordan’s life sucks. Her ex-boyfriend, Michael, slept his way through half the student body, and then killed himself. But now, somehow, he appears at her window every night, begging her to let him in. Jordan can’t understand why he want her, but she feels her resistance wearing down. After all, her life – once a broken record of boring parties, meaningless hookups, and friends she couldn’t relate to – now consists of her drinking alone in her room as she waits for the sun to go down. Michael needs to be invited in before he can enter. All Jordan has to do is say the words……
Jordan isn’t really happy with how things are going for her. She is being stalked by her ex-boyfriend who begs her every night to him in. As the story goes on she learns she isn’t the only one. This was a very interesting take on the vampire human relationship. The interaction between Jordan and Michael you followed like a ping pong match. I found that the story itself was ok. There are some heavy subjects such as Jordan’s drinking to deal with Michael. But overall it was well written and I liked it.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Witchin’ ain’t easy. Jules has a rebellious streak, a massive crush on Connor, and the abilities of a Revealer witch. By day, she and her coven friends seem like typical high school seniors. By night, they have the power to make werewolves, vampires, and ghosts reveal themselves, so they can destroy them. It’s not exactly cheerleading, but at least the girls know they’re doing the world some good. One by one, Jules’s friends turn eighteen and are initiated into the coven’s inner circle. And one by one, they are getting completely freaked out. Jules is the youngest, and though her friends are to scared to tell her what’s going on, something’s clearly not right. As her birthday approaches, Jules realizes she’s got to find out what’s behind the shadows of her coven before it’s too late to save her friends…and herself. But what she discovers may be too powerful for even the toughest witches to defeat.

In this story we have teen witches who are killing off all other paranormals. They believe that they are doing what they can to help the world keep going. But as their some of them come of age they find out more about what it means to be a part of the coven. Jules is very head strong and notices things aren’t what they seem. As time goes on she learns that her mother is involved in this dark mysterious stuff that just doesn’t seem to be right. I have to say this is a very good story for teens who are realizing that their parents are the sun and stars they thought that they were. There is a lot sub-plots going on through out the story that much it a richer tale. I truly enjoyed this story.
