Synopsis:
One night Kylie Galen
finds herself at the wrong party, with the wrong people, and it changes
her life forever. Her mother ships her off to Shadow Falls—a camp for
troubled teens, and within hours of arriving, it becomes painfully clear
that her fellow campers aren’t just “troubled.” Here at Shadow Falls,
vampires, werewolves, shapshifters, witches and fairies train side by
side—learning to harness their powers, control their magic and live in
the normal world.
Kylie’s never felt normal, but surely she doesn’t belong here with a bunch of paranormal freaks either. Or does she? They insist Kylie is one of them, and that she was brought here for a reason. As if life wasn’t complicated enough, enter Derek and Lucas. Derek’s a half-fae who’s determined to be her boyfriend, and Lucas is a smokin’ hot werewolf with whom Kylie shares a secret past. Both Derek and Lucas couldn’t be more different, but they both have a powerful hold on her heart.
Even though Kylie feels deeply uncertain about everything, one thing is becoming painfully clear—Shadow Falls is exactly where she belongs…

Review:
Born at Midnight is the first book in
the Shadow Falls series by C.C. Hunter. It's a young adult paranormal
story featuring Kylie – a 16 year old who doesn't believe she is
anything but normal. When she is shipped off to a camp for troubled
teens, she realizes that some myths are real and that maybe she isn't
who she thought she was.
This book has a lot of emotions mixed
in, which are right on track with a hormonal teenager. Kylie is the
type of girl who never really fit in, and never felt confident in
herself. Since that description fits me well, I was able to connect
with the character. At Shadow Falls, Kylie meets Derek and Lucas.
This begins the love triangle, which is done perfectly in my opinion.
Now that I've finished this book, I still can't decide which guy I
like more. Kylie seems to feel differently, but equally, for both
guys. Each one has traits that appeal to her. Each time I was leaning
one way, I would be swayed back the other way.
There are a lot of wonderful characters
in this book. They were very well written and fun to read about. I
liked reading the interactions between Kylie and her new paranormal
friends. They each had unique personalities and they added a lot of
humor to the book. There was also a lot of mystery in this book to
keep you guessing and turning the pages. Luckily, the next 2 books in
this series are already out so I don't have to wait long to find out
where the author takes this story next!
