Book Description:
I was born to the name of Rachel Weatere in the year 1684, more than three hundred years ago.
The one who changed me named me Risika, and Risika I became, though I never asked what it meant. I continue to call myself Risika, even though I was transformed into what I am against my will.
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 now someone is following Risika. Someone has left her 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 sister 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.
This atmospheric, haunting tale marks the stunning debut of a promising young novelist.

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

I had such high hopes for this book, but I was severely disappointed. It was repetitive, redundant and contradictory to the point where I wanted to stop reading it altogether. The only reason I finished was to try to capture any redeeming qualities out of it. All I can say is it was a great attempt, but for me it sorely missed the mark.

This book like the others of amelia is VERY GOOD! Amelia is my favorite author. I have read all of her books and can't wait for new ones to come out. This book was one of her first book which she wrote when she was 13! Can you believe a 13 year old could write a best seller? Amelia writes in a way that puts you in the characters shoes and I love it. I feel like I'm Risika/Rachel.

I've never been a fan of Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. Her books seem a bit like a Buffy the Vampire Slayer wannabe novels. This one in particular bored me to tears. I suppose that reading it after reading Anne Rice probably distorted my view of the book. For having written it as a 16 year old, she is probably a good writer. But, her books play too much on old superstition which is fine if you want to read a modern day version of Dracula.

A bit of a dark read, but very good nonetheless.
