Switching from a book like The Dead Tossed Waves to a book like Born at Midnight is not an easy transition. Carrie Ryan writes so eloquently, the language flows and everything she writes just sounds beautiful. CC Hunter wrote a book that is much more of a teen YA novel. Don't get me wrong, I loved Born at Midnight, it was just difficult to move from one to the other so quickly. At first I was worried that Born at Midnight was going to be a teenie bopper book but it didn't take long to realize that it wasn't. It reminded me of the Percy Jackson series a bit, but came into it's own very quickly and turned out to be pretty original. One thing CC Hunter is very good at is leaving off on a note that drives you crazy... I cannot believe where she ended this book.... and now I have to wait until October to see what happened... Argh!
This book was my March debut author... had a little trouble ordering the book which is why I read it so late.
Just went on to my nook to see if I could pre-order the next book and instead I found a short novella the author wrote about one of the characters... and it was free. I love my nook!!
