A Den of Shadows....

1.in the forests of the night: By day, Risika sleeps in a shaded room in Concord,Massachusetts. By night, she hunts the streets of New York City. She is used to being alone. But someone is following Risika. He has left a black rose, the same sort of rose that sealed her fate three hundred years ago. Three hundred years ago Risika had a family- a brother and a father who loved her. Three hundred years ago she was human. Now she is a vampire, a powerful one. And her past has come back to torment her.

*All in all, the book was good. It kept me wondering who could be the person that left her the rose. But what i didn't like was that if left me hanging at the end of the book where she found out about her brother. But it was good,no doubt about it.

2.demon in my view: Jessica isn't your average teenager. Though nobody at her high school knows it, she's a published author. Jessica often wishes she felt as comfortable with her classmates as she does among the vampires and witches of her fiction. But two new students have just arrived at Ramsa High, and both want Jessica's attention. She has no patience with overly friendly caryn, but she's instantly drawn to handsome Alex, a self-assured, mysterious boy who seems surprisingly familiar. If Jessica didn't know better, she'd think Aubrey, the alluring villain from her novel, had just sprung to life. That's impossible, of course; Aubrey is a figment of her imagination. Or is he?
*ok. so jessica is a author, but yet nobody at school knows about her. Except Caryn, a witch, and Aubrey,a vampire. So Caryn is supposed to protect jessica because the vampires are mad with the fact she is writing about them, even though she has no clue that her stories are real. She then realizes that her stories are real and that she would be in danger, especially in danger by Aubrey. I liked the part in the book when Jessica confronted Aubrey in the forest and told him to kill her, but he couldn't. Yup he likes her. (figures)Anyways, so at the end, Jessica gets hurt really bad because she fought well tried to fight with Fala,another vampire, and she lost. You can't win against a vampire if your human! Duh! So Aubrey finds her messed really bad and gets help from Caryn to heal her but she couldn't do that much to help without risiking her life. So Aubrey changes Jessica into a vampire. The end.

3.shattered mirror: To the casual observer, Christoper Ravena and Sarah Vida look like normal high school students. But he's a vampire who has sworn off human blood, and she's a witch, a daughter of the most powerful vampire-hunting dynasty in history. Although they should be enemies, Christopher is attracted to Sarah, and he pursues her. Slowly, without meaning to, Sarah finds herself won over by his sensitivity, his gentleness, his kindness. But his past and her future collide when they both get tangled up with Nikolas, one of the most reviled vampires ever. Suddenly, a world where right and wrong used to be as clear as black and white leaves room for little more than shades of gray.
*This book was probably my favorite out of the series. Sarah hunts down vampires and she was going after Nikolas. She finds out that Nikolas and Christopher are twin brothers but Nikolas is the evil twin and Christopher is the good one. (or so she thought) Well..they end up carving their names on Sarahs wrists and sucking on her. Sarah was in bad shape, her sister Adianna , tried to heal her but couldn't. So Christopher turned Sarah into a vampire. Another one of those.(sigh) Anyways, then Nikolas and Christopher had the nerve to ask "forgiveness" for turning her and whatever Nikolas did. I think that was DUMB! But whatever. She of course forgave them. I guess being a vampire gave her a whole another view. of course i wouldn't know but yeah. But she doesn't stay there with them. Which i guess is good. so yeah. there's my share of what i thought.

4.midnight predator:Midnight, the ancient evil sanctuary of vampires and their human slaves that was burned to the ground centuries ago, has risen from the ashes to open its dark doors once more. And it's up to Turquoise Draka, famed human vampire hunter of the Bruja guild, to stop Midnight's founder and vampire most malevolent, Jeshikah. But once inside Midnight's walls, Turquoise discovers that instead of Jeshikah, the surprisingly benign vampire Jaguar is at the helm. Acting as a human slave, Turquoise tries to discern Jaguar's mysteriously kind motives as she works at planning Jeshikah's assassination. Meanwhile, her acting servitude is playing havoc with her memories, as she begins to recall the bleak days when she used to be a human slave herself, the time before her training as an elite Bruja warrior. With bitter memories of beatings and humiliations battling with her present suicidal assignment, Turquoise must do everything in her power to keep from blowing her cover and losing her sanity.
*ok, so i haven't had time to read this book..yet. So i don't know how good it is. But i will get to it. it's just i have so many things going on right now. it's complicated.

Well, except for the last one because i still haven't read it.(but i will!) And if you did read them but didnt like them then ok, i guess these just aren't your kind of books. ;)
