Book Review: Born at Midnight - C.C. Hunter

 

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, shapeshifters, 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…

4/5 stars (really liked it)
I love the whole concept of a camp for Supernatural beings.  I know it's not a new concept (Camp Half-Blood and I'm sure there's others).  Shadow Falls is an interesting place were all Supernaturals have to learn to get along and the Government funds it.  We see Vampires, Werewolves, Shape-shifters, Fae & Witches.  Kylie though is a mystery since no one, including herself, knows what she is.  She is in denial most of the book saying that she's just a human and some kind of mistake is made.  I love how we watch her accept herself and those she had a first deemed to be "freaks".   The ending is left open so that I will definitely be picking up the second book.
