Della Tsang is determined to fight the monsters that plague
the night as a full-fledged member of the FRU (Fallen
Research Unit), a specialized FBI unit that oversees the
entire supernatural community. As a teenage vampire, she
resides at Shadow Falls while she trains and learns how to
cope with her supernatural abilities. Her parents think
she's at a camp for troubled teenagers and see her as a
disappointment. Unfortunately, Della has more problems than
just her lack of a home life as a new case has her obsessed
with finding a killer. Meanwhile, her heart is torn between
two guys, shape shifter Steve or the mysterious new vampire,
Chase. Will Della and her friends figure out what is going
on in time?
REBORN is a spinoff from C.C. Hunter's Shadow Falls series.
It is not necessary for readers to be familiar with the
prior series although the characters all appeared
previously. The Diet Coke round table discussions between
Della and her friends offer the perfect opportunity for back
history to be shared with new readers. C.C. Hunter crafts a
spinoff series that can stand alone so readers like me who
want to get a taste of her world can dive right in with
REBORN.
Della's home situation is heartbreaking, all the more so
because of the accomplishments her parents will never see or
acknowledge. Her emotional turmoil and disconnect from her
family make her actions in REBORN all the more plausible.
Della is desperate for a family member who will accept her
for who and what she is and C.C. Hunter does an amazing job
at drawing the reader into Della's emotional angst.
C.C. Hunter kicks off the Shadowfalls: After Dark
spin off
series in spectacular fashion with REBORN. From the
intriguing world building to the character development,
every aspect of REBORN makes me eager to read the next
installment. I love Della's sarcastic and yet deeply
sensitive perspective and can't wait to see how things
unfold for her. REBORN is easily recommended!
Enter Shadow Falls: After Dark and meet a vampire named
Della, who’s about to discover what her own story is meant
to be. . . .Della had the perfect life—the family, a
boyfriend, and a bright future—until she was turned, and
abandoned by everyone she loves. She takes refuge at Shadow
Falls, a camp for teens with paranormal powers. It’s where
she and her best friends, Kylie and Miranda, heal their
heartbreak with laughter, and where Della is training to be
a paranormal investigator—and she refuses to be distracted.
That means there’s no time for romance with Steve, a
gorgeous shapeshifter whose kisses melt her
heart. When
a new vampire named Chase shows up at camp, Della’s world is
thrown into even more chaos. Arrogant and annoyingly sexy,
Chase is a mystery . . . and the only mystery Della likes is
one she can solve. She can’t solve Chase, at least not while
she’s dealing with ghostly hauntings, vampire gangs and a
web of family secrets. Can she prove herself as an
investigator and keep her life—and her heart—intact?
