Media Reviews
I loved the dynamic between April and her friends. I loved the feel of the places and the way the story is told to make you guess and keep you guessing throughout. What I really loved that was in addition to this the book took the storyline and developed it even further and more involved making it more and more interesting. THE OVERFLOWING LIBRARY The action is really fast paced and dramatic. April's character development towards the end of this book more than makes up for her indecision at the start. In typical teenage mode she tries to ignore what needs to be done, yet at the end she really comes into her own by accepting herself. BOOKANGEL'S BOOKTOPIA My favourite thing about this series, is that Mia James has shown that we as Brits, can compete with the US vampire scene. We can have hot vampires too! We can have cool eerie places to hang out in! Mia James has just added to the coolness that seeps from Highgate Cemetary, helping to make it a popular tourist destination. I even think that April might be the UK's equivalent of Buffy! See there, I said it! SERENDIPITY REVIEWS By Midnight was the first book I finished this year, and I loved the combination of mystery, romance and creep factor involved in the story about an infestation of vampires in this fancy school near Highgate Cemetery. It was thrilling and exciting and I thought it would be a hard book to follow. I'm thrilled to say that if anything, I enjoyed Darkness Falls even more! FLUTTERING BUTTERFLIES Darkness Falls had a stellar, explosive ending which definitely left me wanting more. I can't wait to see what Mia James has up her sleeve next! A DREAM OF BOOKS
