In the Forests of the Night Den of Shadows Amelia AtwaterRhodes Books

I first picked this book up when I was in Middle School and loved it. I recently re-read "In The Forests of The Night" just to see how it has held up over time. Now that I'm an adult, does this book still manage to entertain me? Well, yes, it does. I still found the story of the 300-year-old vampire Risika and the events leading up to her fight with an old nemesis to be fascinating.

Amelia Atwater-Rhodes is one of my favorite authors, either due to nostalgia or my love of vampires in general. Unfortunately, now that I'm older I notice that this book has alot of aspects about it that most people would consider flaws that I didn't notice when I was younger.

First of all, the book is really short. I mean, really short. I finished it in two hours. This is bad because you keep wanting a bit more story. In some ways this is good, though, because it's not a huge time commitment to read, so you can finish it quickly and move on to doing something else if you so desire. That's one of the reasons I love her books so much (I've read plenty of long books-Anne Rice, for example-but I always enjoy shorter books more).

There was another thing I noticed; this book isn't exactly fine literature. She tends to be a little lax in her amount of environmental description and the writing itself is a bit simple. Nonetheless, I enjoy her fast-paced writing style, maybe because she doesn't bog the reader down with reams of dross. I personally feel that this book deserves five stars simply because I enjoy re-reading it (this holds true for almost all her books) and any book that I actually want to re-read has earned it's value in my mind. It's not that I didn't like some other books I've read, it's just that I often don't find myself wanting to re-read them (even if they're good), but for some reason I can just keep coming back to Amelia's books and still enjoy them.

So, do I recommend this book for teens? Certainly. There's enough here to entertain a younger reader, and it's about the right length for a young adult genre book. Do I recommend it for adults? Well, that depends. If you like your books to be longer and have more "adult" writing styles, then you probably wouldn't like this book. If you love vampires and quick reads, then you'll likely find this book to be well worth your time.

In the Forests of the Night Den of Shadows Amelia AtwaterRhodes Books Reviews

Good book, wasn't what anticipated but made a cute series. Read them all over holiday break when school got out
love it and useful

excellent quality, still being used like new 2 years later, i would recommened this product for fun

thanks
My step daughter really enjoyed this book
Well written, easy read. I found this book by accident and was amazed when I discovered the age of its author. Very impressive.
One of my favorite books
I enjoyed the series when I was younger. Getting back into it. Good for a short, mindless read. Would read again.
Take note this is a short book. The author was very young when she wrote this book. In The Forests of the Night starts off like you just stepped in the middle of something. It's a story about a young girl turned vampire who is now 300 years old. She has a twin brother who had powers to see things about people. Her only friend is a tiger in the zoo, Tora. She's s shape-changing vampire. The usual vampire myths don't apply to this book. And our heroine is much stronger than she thinks. It was a very fast paced read, however the story did seem dull. Not much really happened until the end. The ending has a twist luring the reader to read the next book in line. However, this book just didn't do it for me. It's written by a teen and should be read by teens. It did feel like Interview with the Vampireish. There wasn't much to call suspense or on the edge or your seat need to keep reading. For the age of the author, it's impressive, however, it just wasn't as good as I thought it would be.
