I recently finished this book and it was phenomenal! Born at Midnight is about a girl whose name is Kylie (AHHH!) and she ends up and at a camp for paranormal people, a.k.a vampires, witches, fae, shape-shifters, werewolves, and people who can talk with the dead. When Kylie arrives at the camp she refuses to accept that she is paranormal even though she can talk to ghosts, a power which everyone, including the vampires, are terrified of. Kylie is not particularly excited to go to a camp filled with paranormal people especially because her parents are getting a divorce, a dead soldier is stalking her, and her boyfriend dumped her. As camp starts she becomes friends with a witch, a vampire, a fae, and a werewolf (sort of) but some strange things are afoot, like the men in black hanging around camp, rumors that animals from the wildlife park are going missing, and the possibility that the camp may be shut down. And of course that fact that she can’t for the life of her figure out what she is...

As I said before this book was phenomenal! I read all 398 pages in one day! I love paranormal and funny stories, which was what Born at Midnight was about (although more paranormal and less funny). I thought it was awesome that the main characters name was Kylie and she wasn’t a freaking out over a guy the entire book 24/7 (although she does have 2 love interests so there is love but not 24/7), which is always refreshing. I loved the characters because they were funny, smart, and paranormal creatures!! The plot was ok but the final showdown was extremely short, although the ending set the story up well for a sequel. It’s definitely a book you should read if you are a teenage girl who likes paranormal stories with some romance. Also, thank you Maddy for loaning me the book so I could read it!!! You are awesome!

Thanks for reading!
