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…



I loved this book. It was a wonderful mix of mystery, adventure, and romance. I cant imagine finding out that you aren't "normal". I was a little frustrated by the way that at the end of the book you still didn't find out what exactly Kylie is, but I'm guessing it's because there's much more to her than what is mentioned in the first book. At least I hope so!

The love triangle was awesome. The way it was written leaves you feeling like you're the one thats gasping for air after every kiss and leaves you wanting for more. I got frustrated at times and would be thinking to myself "Just kiss him already!" Lol the sexual tension was crazy!

The cliffhanger was a pretty good one as well, I have to say I didn't think the book would end how it did. All in all this was a great read and if you like the House of Night and Vampire Academy Series', you'll love this one as well!!
