Ritual (Vampire Beach #3)
by
Alex Duval
The A-list bites.
Jason Freeman has gotten used to the fact that beneath its glamorous surface, DeVere Heights is full of unexpected secrets. And vampires. Then just when he thinks he's golden, he's attacked. With a crossbow.
At first the attention Jason gets from his crush, Sienna, makes the wound almost worthwhile -- especially after she breaks up with Brad. But the cr

Jason's in a world of danger, at least according to the psychic at the fair his sister forced him to attend. Jason scoffs at the idea, but after an afternoon at the beach filled with surfing and volleyball, he takes her warning more seriously. Alone on the beach, he's attacked, shot with an arrow from a crossbow.

I really enjoy these books, when I first heard about this series from my friend, I thought "vampire beach" how stupid is that, it's probably going to be super lame, but ever since I read the first book, I've been completely hooked. Author, Alex Duval has completely developed all of the characters, making it easy to relate to most of the main characters, if not all, and empathize with them through out the books. As the series continues, and the problems involving the students at the Heights grows...more

Another of Jason's adventures ends in this book. Jason attends the psychic fair with his sister. When he gets his free reading he scoff's at the idea. But this quickly becomes a reality when Jason is enjoying the beach by himself and get shot by a crossbow.
So there's a hunter loose in Malibu who's after the vampires, which of course no one acknowledges. Even the vampires themselves have denied the prospect of a vampire hunter and says that it's just a myth when Adam suggests it. So the writing...more

Myself. Well, I got it in a magazine...
This book really surprised me. In truth, I'd give it a 4 and a half or three quarters or something but I can't do that so I gave it a 4.
Anyway, back to the book. As I said, it really surprised because since I have started Twilight (which was really boring in my opinion. I gave up after the 1st chapter.), but this wasa much more, well, things happened, exciting things, in every chapter, and you never got bored. I am soooo gonna read the 1st and 2nd books!!!

Saw these books advertised in the childrens library haha and thought well why not....althought I was slightly emarassed when checking them out. I must say having finished this book in 3 hours I have been impressed with the series so far and am looking forwards tor eading the next installment. Not quite so indepth as other books of this genre the chemistry as usual between human and vampire has me gripped and dying to see what happens next!

Amazing!! :D Jason and Sienna are perfect for each other! Brad is cool but it's good that he finally realized that he and Sienna aren't in love anymore. Tamburo was already not one of my favorite characters from the beginning. Figures he would be the killer!! And Adam just makes everything better. ;) I feel so bad for Belle but I predict a future romance with a main character? <3 Anyway, can't wait to finish the series in Legacy!
It is another book about vampire, but I like Twilight series better than this one. In this book, vampire doesn’t have special talent. Without special talent, those vampires are no different to the normal people. Basically, the book is about a vampire killer who tried to kill all the vampires in DeVere Heights. And it is a normal boy named Jason who saved their life.
I got this book free with a magazine. And let's just say, I was not happy. Most magazines give you the first book in a series with a promo thing to make you buy the next ones. And let's face it, without one of said free books, I would never have experienced the awesomeness that is Strange Angels so, yeah, I was expecting some at least half decent. Wrong.

The best book of the series, if the rest had been written like this I might have enjoyed the books more. Still it wasn't a great work of fiction or really anything special. The characters just were slightly more enjoyable and realistic in this book then in the others.
In Vampire Beach: Initiation, Jason continues along with his high school life as though he doesn’t attend a school with vampires. He is surprised by a totally unexpected visit from a friend from back home, Tyler. This book revolves around Jason trying to help Tyler get out of trouble as well as explaining a little more about the vampire world. What's great about this book is the tense relationship between Jason and Sierra. As a reader you really want them to be together, but the author leaves u...more
This one was still better than the first. I still had the murderer figured out and how he/she was deciding who to kill before I was 25% into the book. THese books are just very predictable and provide no mystery for me.
Another good, easy read. The only thing that gets me about this series is that the ends are always so abrupt. One page, huge action! Then the next few and the book is finished.
Better then the first two books. Good series, just keep in mind that these a short YA books. Good characters, and the story flows well.
i think alex duval is the best im geting ritual and legacy on saturday but so far there the BEST!!!!!
For me the story starts getting more interesting from this book on.
I love all the twists and turns Duval comes up with. Great read.

I loved it, this one especially more than the others, I don't know why, but it was awesome.
It was a good quick read although I found the plot and ending way too predictable for my liking.
The OC turned The VAMPIRE OC. Love, Love, LOVED IT!

Good
done
Great Book!
I liked the series but the ending could have been better. The author could have shown the love relationship between the main characters a little more, like showing what happens when good wins over evil. But all in all its a great series.
