From CC's Website:
Independent and strong-willed Della Tsang hadn't believed in ghosts until she saw her dead cousin darting into the shadows of an alley. She hadn't believed in vampires until in the dark of that same night she is turned into one. Introduced to a strange world of supernaturals, she struggles to accept this new reality. Unfortunately, the boy she loves senses something different about her and can't accept her. Should she follow her vampire cousin's lead-walk away from everything she's knows and loves-and fake her own death? Or should she set her pride aside and ask for help from the camp leader of Shadow Falls-a camp where supernaturals go to learn how to cope with their powers. Either way, her life as she knows it, will never be the same.

Born At Midnight
Kylie Galen has had a lot of crap tossed in her lap lately. Her parents are getting a divorce for who the heck knows why. Her boyfriend broke up with her because she wouldn't put out. And her grandmother died because . . . well, older people do that. But now, Kylie's acquired a stalker and she hasn't a clue what he wants or how to get rid of him . . . and she really wants to get rid of him because apparently she's the only one who sees him. Thinking she may be losing it, her parents send her off to see a psychologist who gets Kylie sent to Shadow Falls Camp. Kylie and her parents think it's a camp for troubled teens.
They thought wrong.
Kylie's surrounded by vampires, werewolves, fairies, witches and shapeshifters. And if she believes what they tell her, she's one of them. They're just not sure exactly how she fits in. As Kylie struggles to cope with the realization that these creatures even exist, and the fact that she might not be human, she's got two hot guys, a werewolf and a half-fairy vying for her attention. And they can just keep vying. Kylie's determined that before she lets her heart loose on love, she needs to unearth the truth. What does the ghost want? Who can and can't she trust? And most of all . . . What is she?

Kylie Galen thought her life was a mess before she went to Shadow Falls Camp. However, now that she's discovered she's not human, the problems presenting themselves are anything but normal.
She's determined to uncover the answer to her supernatural heritage, but with a ghost insisting someone Kylie loves is about to die, her newly developed sixth sense telling her someone is watching her and a rogue vampire on a murdering rampage, Kylie's quest for answers is on hold. As if her life isn't difficult enough, just when she's about to give her heart to Derek, he starts pulling away. When Lucas comes back, Kylie feels more conflicted than ever. Kylie's weekend with her mom should have been just the break Kylie needs, but it turns out to be her breaking point. Discovering her heritage may not ever matter if she doesn't survive.

Just when she and Lucas are finally getting close, she learns that his pack has forbidden them from being together. Was it a mistake to pick him over Derek? And it's not just romance troubling Kylie.

My Review~
I have read Born at Midnight and Awake at Dawn, I LOVED both books. I am waiting on the third book, it is on hold for me at my library, and I have downloaded Della's story Turned at Dusk. I really enjoy CC's writing, I have loved learning about each character, and I can't wait to read more about them. I also love how CC adds in REAL-LIFE issues, like a teen pregnancy scare, cancer, family members passing away, teen pressure's of sex and safe sex. I love how she keeps all the issues I know teens don't like to hear about and talk about easy to read about and get you thinking. I am not a teen anymore, but if I had read this series when I was a teen there would have been many things I would have at least thought about doing different, even if I wouldn't have actually done them different.
I love reading paranormal stories, but I think that the way this one is written it is one of the best. Having serious issues in stories can come across as cheesy or like a children's book lecturing, this one doesn't do that. Kylie is very mature for a 16 year old, but doesn't sound annoying, she is wise. I recommend this book to all teenagers in high school! (Adults also, I enjoy it!) Read it, you'll love it!
CC's Website has tons of cool things on it, and she is a very nice person (I have chatted with her over email a bit) and she also has little extras like questions with Lucas and Derek, which are great. Check her out!
That's Great!!!
