This book blew me away. I was half expecting another Twilight knock-off, and half expecting a nerdy fairy-tale. I was wrong on both sides. The main character is funny, stubborn, and not acceptant of who she really is. These characteristics totally made the book into more than just some chaotic explanation of a magical camp. The other characters were also very well done, and boosted the book's development and slightly random plot-line. The best part, it was almost completely different from the popular books of today. Although it does contain a love triangle, vampires, and werewolves, the tone of Andrew's writing makes it nearly unidentifiable to other books. In all, I am headed to the bookstore to buy Born at Midnight's sequel! Happy Reading!

This book definitely got me thinking. Extremely similar to Stephanie Meyer's Twilight, the book included undead children, Latin, and murder. Starting off when the main character's parents are discovered dead, the book increases in morbidity and eeriness. As the story goes on, the main character falls in love. This love, however, was a failed attempt at being somewhat different from Twilight. Woon goes nearly too far when the reader finds out the secret between the main character and her love's romance. This discovery was unsettling to me, and I found myself overly focused on the discovery rather than the actual plot. In all, an okay book, but a little too crazy for me.
This was such a cool book! A mix of Twilight (Stepanie Meyer), Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment (James Patterson), and Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief. The main character, Jacinda, is strong, sensitive, and although going through trauma remains the same. I fell in love with the great character development, and interesting plot line. All in all, a fantastic read. If Jordan continues the work, I believe young adults will warm up to her. My heart goes out to Jordan!!!
