Born At Midnight by C.C. Hunter - Review

MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS


I came across Born At Midnight at the start of this year when I was going through a very paranormal genre stage. Firstly I noticed the cover and thought it was GORGEOUS, there was just something about it that intrigued me. Then I read the blurb and the whole idea of there being a "camp" for supernatural creatures sparked my imagination and really interested me because that concept was totally different compared to all the other paranormal stories I've read.  

Born At Midnight is about a girl, Kylie Galen, who's not having the best month so far, her grandmother passed away, her parents are getting a divorce, her boyfriend dumped her and she is being forced to see a psychologist after she told her parents that a guy is stalking her. Problem is, she's the only one that can see him. Then things only get worse for Kylie when she is busted at a party with drugs and alcohol, so her parents decide to ship her off to Shadow Falls Camp, a camp "supposedly" for troubled teens. Kylie quickly realises that this camp is actually a camp for the supernatural; vampires, werewolves, fairies, shape-shifters, etc. And they thinks she's one of them.

In this book, supernaturals can read a persons brain pattern. This is to figure out if that person is supernatural and if so what type of supernatural they are, however Kylie is different because for some unknown reason, no one is able to read her brain pattern. They insist that she is one of them and that she was brought to the camp for a reason, nevertheless Kylie still believes their wrong and she sets out to get to the bottom of things. As time passes by, one thing is becoming more clear and that is that Shadow Falls is exactly where Kylie belongs. 

My favourite part in Born At Midnight is when Lucas is taking Kylie to a creek where there are dinosaur tracks. During this walk there are a few sexual tension moment, however its not until they reach the creek until something happens. As their making their way across the creek Kylie slips on the rocks and gets wet, due to this they both get the giggles. Then she slips again, but this time taking Lucas down with her, and they end up having another moment but this time it results in to kissing. This is my favourite part because it is the first moment where Kylie lets her guard down with Lucas and isn't scarred of him. But I particularly liked this part because I'm "Team Lucas!!"

If you like stories with paranormal genres then I would highly recommend Born At Midnight by C.C. Hunter because it is a supernatural story, yet it has a different element to it with the whole Shadow Falls camp which makes it that bit more interesting. Overall, I give it 3.5 out 5
