I was hooked on the Shadow Falls series when I picked up the first book "Born at Midnight" by C.C. Hunter. Since then I have been anxious to find out what happens to Kylie and the rest of the students and faculty members at Shadow Falls Camp.

This book continues Kylie Galen's story. Kylie is a unique "supernatural" attending Shadow Falls Camp (a camp specifically for the supernatural), but the problem is she doesn't know what kind of supernatural she is, and no one else knows either. To add to the confusion, she is torn between a hot werewolf, Lucas, and a half-fae boy, Derek. Oh, and she is haunted by ghosts!

I was so excited to read this book because I thought we would finally get an ending to this saga and learn what is going on! I am so sad to say that this book only gives out a little bit of information, and I found out that there will be a 4th book. I am a bit frustrated with this because I truly feel this series could have ended with a 3rd book. I almost feel like the story was a bit dragged out in this book and I really wish the author would have ended the series with this one. That being said, it's still a good book. It still stays right with the previous two books on Kylie's story, and we do actually get to learn what kind of supernatural Kylie is (eep!), and a bit more about her family.

I had the same problem with this book as I did the previous two in the series. C.C. Hunter goes a bit too in depth for me on the feelings of the characters. I almost feel that it's easy to tell how the characters are feeling, but Ms. Hunter goes into further detail. That's just me though. I know some readers prefer as much detail as possible, so if you love that, then you'll love this "voice"!

I really feel for Kylie. I can't help but want her to know what kind of supernatural she is and figure out more about her family. It's very easy to root for her. I also adore Lucas. I realize he's a "bad boy" and I was very happy to read more scenes with he and Kylie in this book.

I hope my review isn't coming across as being mean, I sure don't mean for it to. I'm definitely going to read the 4th book because I'm so emotionally involved with these characters and I want to know what happens next. I just truly feel that the series could have ended in this book, but alas, it doesn't. So, if you loved the first two books in the series, you'll enjoy this one. Just be forewarned, it doesn't END.
