Born at Midnight is an addicting read- I did not want to put it down. It pulls me in right at the beginning with a heartbreaking scene, intrigue and a bit of humor about bbqing shorts =)
Kylie is a great main character. She has qualities that I admire- courage, loyalty. On the other hand, I was able to connect with her, being a bit of a loner, but letting in a select few. I was on edge the whole book, wanting to find the answers to Kylie's questions almost as quickly as she did. I felt emotions with her, about her family troubles, her worry and loyalty to her friends, crushing and fighting the attraction to the hot guys, mystery surrounding the guys in the black suits, and suspicion of what she really is.
I love coming of age, and self-discovery books, and this one fits the bill. I love that the paranormal aspect throws a wrench into it, making already difficult journey even more challenging.
At first it did seem like there were too many characters and names for me to keep up with, but I quickly learned more about them, and each plays their own role. I love it when a book has a secondary cast that is interesting, has their own personalities and actually work to further the plot.
The romance is really well written, my heart was pounding right with her, and I wasn't sure the right choice, it was so well written. The guys were really balanced- not perfect, but close :) And while they were hot, they had deeper qualities as well, respect, protectiveness, and a good heart.
This book ended well, it wrapped up without too much of a cliffie, but def enough that I want my hands on the next one NOW. Too bad I have to wait until October.

A Must Read!! Best book of 2011 so far...
Okay WOW!!! First of all, the cover is beautiful. I read the description on this book a couple of months ago and knew it was going to be great. But, it surpassed all of my expectations. I absolutely loved this book! The story was superbly written with lovable characters. I loved that not only was it hilarious and had me laughing out loud, but it also takes us on a journey of self discovery. The love triangle only adds to its appeal. This series is definitely going to be pine-worthy and I look forward to see what comes next:)

loved it.
i loved Born at Midnight by C.C Hunter. it was very well written, and i loved the two guys -well three including Trey- that battled for Kylie's heart. C.C. Hunter is a very talented writer, even though there were some repeats... i cannot wait for the next book! i also really loved how all the paranormals were all tied in this story... although, i do wish that there were mermaids.

Born at Midnight review
This book is one of the few books i could not put down. This book only took me two days to read, and only that long because i have to sleep. At the end of every chapter i told myself that i would only read one more chapter, but i alwaysbroke that promise because the end of every chapter ended at a cliff hanger. After reading this book i quickly read the next two books in the series and it just keeps getting better. Its going tobe hard to wait for october for the next booktocome out. If you have any ounce of interestin paranormal, and self discovery, i would recommend this series. (There is a love triangle though for those people who dont care for them) but i believe this series should be at the top of your summer reading list :)
I love how the books were written, C.C. Hunter made it real easy to get lostin the story and thats one thing i look fr in an author and good book :) this book is worth reading.4 out of 5 people found this review helpful.

Great Summer Read
Kylie Galen has had a lot of crap tossed in her lap lately. Her parents are getting a divorce for who the heck knows why. Her boyfriend broke up with her because she wouldn't put out. And her grandmother died because . . . well, older people do that. But now, Kylie's acquired a stalker and she hasn't a clue what he wants or how to get rid of him . . . and she really wants to get rid of him because apparently she's the only one who sees him. Thinking she may be losing it, her parents send her off to see a psychologist who gets Kylie sent to Shadow Falls Camp. Kylie and her parents think it's a camp for troubled teens.
They thought wrong.
Kylie's surrounded by vampires, werewolves, fairies, witches and shape-shifters. And if she believes what they tell her, she's one of them. They're just not sure exactly how she fits in. As Kylie struggles to cope with the realization that these creatures even exist, and the fact that she might not be human, she's got two hot guys, a werewolf and a half-fairy vying for her attention. And they can just keep vying. Kylie's determined that before she lets her heart loose on love, she needs to unearth the truth. What does the ghost want? Who can and can't she trust? And most of all . . . What is she?
Kylie gets innocently caught up in some questionable situations upon her parents sudden divorce and gets sent away to a delinquents (aka "freak") camp for the summer . . . or so she thinks. Yet, when fellow campers begin asking "What she is?" instead of "Who?" and magic/blood become something she shockingly learns to deal with on a daily basis--Kylie beings to examine her meaning behind the word "freak" and becomes worried she may just be one herself. Throughout the challenge of discovering her past in hopes of identifying just what her supernatural status is, Kylie becomes awakened by her new hidden talents (i.e. sensing/seeing ghosts, etc.) and easily gets infatuated with two extremely different guys: 1. Derek, a sweet-tempted half-fairy who was one of her first friends at camp and 2. Lucas, a darker older werewolf who Kylie actually has a history with. Thus, with so many things in Kylie's life crumbling, can Shadow Falls Camp actually become a bitter-sweet surprise?
At first, this story came off as a bit too juvenile for my taste, but as the plot progressed and Kylie's adventures in camp became more complex -- I found myself becoming more and more intrigued. The whole story timeline accelerates quickly, happening within the span of only a few weeks, thus it becomes easy to get caught up in the overall tale. Kylie has a lot of troubles because of friends back home, friends in camp, family, etc. that the story never goes dull, but it can become a bit too much at times. The romance in the book is all over with many of the side-characters (young and old) heating up the pages while Kylie herself gets captivated by two guys -- so yummy relationships throughout. All in all, this was a surprising read that I found myself jumping right into Book #2 as soon as I finished Book #1 -- plus Book #3 comes out this April, yayy.
Likes: If you're a fan of paranormal/supernatural characters--this is a fun read that pretty much covers them all!
Dislikes: Kylie can have only so much drama on her plate at one time before she gets spread pretty thin and then, due to becoming overwhelmed, avoids or cuts short different parts of the story that the reader would wish to have e4 out of 7 people found this review helpful.

Did not care for at all.
These types of books are usually my thing but this book was very shallow. The characters are really immature and the writing style leaves a lot to be desired. Even though this is a short book I had to force myself to finish reading it.

I have read the whole series and I'm waiting on the next one already pre-ordered.
This is a good read and I would sugest to my friends. At first I thought it was going too much like Harry Potter but it proved me wrong. This was real page turner kept interest until the very end and on to next. I'm waiting for next book in the series with batted breathe!!!!!!!! Read this book you will not be disapointed!
