In the Forests of the Night (Den of Shadows, #1)
by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
Goodreads just recommended to me a book by Atwater-Rhodes, and I had a flashback to how much I enjoyed this book when I was in middle school.
What I remember: a strong female protagonist, shapeshifting vampires, general incivility in the vampire populace, and good old fashioned revenge.
This was a story I encountered long before the trope of 'stuffy moralizing vampire falls in love with teenage girl' nonsense. At least, I don't remember any of that. But I do remember scenes and moments. The same cannot be said for many other books I read ten years ago.
Though perhaps blending into the recent flush of vampire lit, the strong female protagonist makes In the Forests of the Night a candidate for solid YA.
