Bibliophilic Monologues

Born at Midnight (Shadow Falls Series #1)

Born at Midnight - C.C. Hunter I enjoyed this book well enough. I mean, if you read it for the pure purpose of entertainment and do not consider what the author is saying between the lines, it's a fun enough read. Certainly not as terrible as some others I have had the misfortune of coming upon. There are vampires, werewolves, faeries, ghosts and all sorts of supernatural elements. It's like a smorgasbord of supernatural beings. It's not terribly original as many others have said and there are some pretty strong points to it. For instance, the portrayal of the protagonist's sense of betrayal at her father's affair, her relationship with her mother and her friendship with her cabin mates. Those were well done.What I had trouble with, personally, were the numerous suitors the protagonist had. Usually it's a love triangle but this was more like...hmm... three boys and one girl? A quartet? It just seemed unrealistic that the protagonist would be so irresistible to garner the attention of three super gorgeous guys. Ah, and two of them are apparently alike. Hm. And she can't make up her mind which of these boys she likes better. It just felt overdone. Way overdone. Would I recommend it to you guys?I don't know. It's not horrible? And it has no angels (so far anyway). But I do know that I will pass on the second in the series. I didn't like that much.
