Narration Toward Books Shattered Mirror (Den of Shadows #3)
To the casual observer, Christopher Ravena and Sarah Vida look like normal high school students. But he’s a vampire who has sworn off human blood, and she’s a witch, a daughter of the most powerful vampire-hunting dynasty in history. Slowly, without meaning to, Sarah finds herself won over by his sensitivity, his gentleness, his kindness. But his past and her future collide when they both get tangled up with Nikolas, one of the most reviled vampires ever.Rating Containing Books Shattered Mirror (Den of Shadows #3)

Okay, so I did not finish this book. I picked it up because there were a ton of books by this author on the shelf, so I figured, okay, she must be pretty good. But I was turned off right away by the heroine as she went off to kill people and thought about how tough she was, and then right after she met Christpher he started leaving things in her locker (which I had someone do to me in college, and found it very creepy and an invasion of my personal stuff). There was no time for a relationship orI hated this book. It was hard to believe and the climax was false and sickeningly bloody.
So far, this was my least favorite story out of the bunch.I don't think it's due to the fact that the main character isn't a vampire, i just didn't really care for any of the characters in this story.I do enjoy the poems before each story though, and i really enjoyed Christopher's poetry in the beginning/middle of the story.I just wasn't drawn in to these characters as much as i was with the characters from the first two...
My biggest problem with this book was that I thought I was getting a book about a teenaged witch in which witches hunted vampires but then this young witch learned that friendship! can! transcend! etc. And for the first third of the book, that's what I got, and so I was lured in.Unfortunately, when the jaws of the actual book snapped shut, it turned out that I was trapped with a book that was really about the ~tragic~ ~immortal~ ~angst~ of twin vampire brothers and their desperate need --
I don't know why I keep trying to read this author's old books. They always seem to disappoint me. There's no world-building, no attachment to the characters, and the plot is usually inconsistent. I admit, I couldn't make it through all of this one. I got bored and just wanted Sarah to get killed already. The writing style is crass and it's very obvious that a younger person wrote this. Not to mention there pages are tiny and the words are huge. I don't recommend this book to anyone.
I have grown to enjoy Amelia Atwater-Rhodes writing style. Her characters are a sort of guilty pleasure and her novels continue to exceed my expectations. I did enjoy this book and will continue reading her work; I do recommend this to the young adult community.
Shattered mirrors was a pretty good book it's about a girl named Sarah whos a which who hunts vampires and nicolaus who is a vampire, Sarah wants to hunt nicolaus down to kill him for turning so many humans into vampires/his followers. Sarah is a typical high school student who tries to socialize with her peers but she's told not to by her sister, because her sister said if word gets out about you being a vampire hunter you will end up being killed and the people around you will suffer. So she
