Darkride Chronicles

review 1: I'm new to the supernatural genre, having read only the Twilight series and Red Hill. I found that some of Darkride seemed to echo Twilight, but perhaps that was just the vampire/werewolf stuff. Like I said, I'm only familiar with Stephenie Meyer's vampire/werewolf canon, so I don't know if most books have the same vamp/wolf rules (speed, scent, venom, etc.). I found that the different narrators pulled me into the story and I found it compelling.My only gripes were the misspellings of loose vs lose and a few punctuation errors.
review 2: Oh my goodness!!! I just finished reading Darkride the first book in the Darkride Chronicles. It was fabulous!! A different take of the girl-werewolf-vampire love triangle. There was angst of who do I root for to win the girl. ... moreAt times I found myself rooting for Ander, the werewolf. Then I flipped and would root for Luke, the vampire. All the while, Cicely, the heroine of the book, had her own battles to overcome. From the typical teenage bullying and mean girls, to the battle with the vampire queen... This book had me hooked. I could not put it down and had to force myself to not devour it at one sitting. I love how Laura Bradley Rede played off of the love triangle and included the twists and turns to keep the reader suspended and wondering what was going to happen next! I found myself cheering Cicely on in her daily battles with the mean girls at school and then when she was having to battle the vampire queen! Cicely is an endearing character that readers can relate to no matter their age. The heroes, Ander and Luke, make it extremely difficult to just pick one to win Cicely's love. Most YA love stories have a front runner from the beginning of who should get the girl and readers may steer away and root for the other guy, but they eventually go back to their original winner. I love how Darkride kept me flip flopping on who I thought should win Cicely's heart from page to page. I can't wait to read Crossfire, the next installment of the Darkride Chronicles!! If I had to award stars to this book... It would be 5 out of 5!!! less
