Book Synopsis:
One night Kylie Galen finds herself at the wrong party, with the wrong people, and it changes her life forever. Her mother ships her off to Shadow Falls—a camp for troubled teens, and within hours of arriving, it becomes painfully clear that her fellow campers aren’t just “troubled.” Here at Shadow Falls, vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, witches and fairies train side by side—learning to harness their powers, control their magic and live in the normal world.
Kylie’s never felt normal, but surely she doesn’t belong here with a bunch of paranormal freaks either. Or does she? They insist Kylie is one of them, and that she was brought here for a reason. As if life wasn’t complicated enough, enter Derek and Lucas. Derek’s a half-fae who’s determined to be her boyfriend, and Lucas is a smokin’ hot werewolf with whom Kylie shares a secret past. Both Derek and Lucas couldn’t be more different, but they both have a powerful hold on her heart.
Even though Kylie feels deeply uncertain about everything, one thing is becoming painfully clear—Shadow Falls is exactly where she belongs…
My Review:
I simply cannot get enough of this book!
I read Born at Midnight in one day. I found myself so hooked to the story that I simply could not put it down! It was fun and snarky yet exciting and mysterious! It really has everything that I look for in YA paranormal fiction book.
The book itself is very underrated and I think a lot of that has to do with the main character Kylie. I admit that at the start of the book I hated Kylie. Kylie is just completely annoying and cries WAY too much for my liking. However at the beginning of the book you learn that Kylie's life has basically gone down the toilet. Her Nan passes away, Her parents suddenly announce their divorce, and then her douche bag boyfriend decides to break up with her for another girl because Kylie is not willing to have sex with him. I'm pretty sure I'd be a little emotional about all that going on at once so I understand why the main character acts the way she does. However I'm hoping that as the series progresses that she will grow out of all that.
Obviously this book would not be that exciting if it did not leave me fangirling over new fictional boyfriends! Insert, Lucas and Derek. Derek is a handsome half fae with lots of cheesy charm. While Lucas is a sexy werewolf complete with a pair of bright blue eyes. Of course it comes to no surprise that I am completely and totally on board with Team Lucas. He is this bad boy who shares a very secret past with the main character Kylie and I just cannot wait to see what happens between these three characters in the next book!
