DeLibrarie (Nichole) Review:
If you're a fan of vampires, then you should really give this book a read. I read this when I was younger and I loved it. It's really well written and gives you a good look into what it might be like to become a vampire. You get to know Risika and by following her you see the torment and difficulties that come with being a vampire. Her character is so strong and powerful that it's fun to follow her and to see how she overcomes things. It's also interesting to see things from a female vampire's point of view rather than the usual male vampire's point of view or female human with a vampire boyfriend's point of view. It's a fast read and the writing is easy and smooth yet intelligent. This dark book will leave you thinking about vampires in a completely different way.

Amelia has been my idol since I started reading years ago! Do you know how young she was when she wrote this book? I think it was 13 or 14... Love this book so much. All of her books are great.
Oh I know! She is absolutely brilliant! I just double checked and she got this book published on her 14th birthday. It's incredible! I totally wanted to be her when I was younger.
