Pretty good for a debut teen author. Fans of shapeshifters will enjoy this.

Enjoying fast pase read.

Good beginning to a series. The main character tells the story while alternating between times. Rachel was turned into a vampire in the early 1700. Later goes by the name of Risika. A quick read for an afternoon and aimed for a teen audience.

For having written this novel when she was 13, Amelia did an amazing job. Not many 13 year olds could accomplish what she did with this book. The story line is good but doesn't involve a lot of in depth conflict or action. So it serves as a good YA read but may not hold your attention as an adult. You can really see how she improves/grows in her writing abilities throughout her following novels.
