Reborn by C.C. Hunter is part of the Shadow Falls: After Dark series and I have to say that it is phenomenal. I absolutely love the plot and all the things mixed in. Shadow Falls the original series is one of my favorite YA series about a Boarding type of school and this spinoff is not just as good but even better.

I loved the plot. There are a few different mysteries that really keep the story moving. I like that some of our favorite characters still play a big part in the goings on. Miranda and Kylie are still strong characters so it really feels like you are just stepping into Della’s shoes. I really like how things come together and by the end of the first book some things are solved but there are still plenty of questions for Eternal.

Della was kick butt character in the Shadow Falls series, so I was pretty excited for her to have her own series. Della just gets better because now we are instead her head. We see where her attitude comes from and the different things she’s feeling. I love her. She is fantastic character because I felt like it was so easy to bond with. I loved how she develops as things happen to her, she admits to things she’s confused about. I like that she stays steady and holds to things she believes in. Just such a well rounded character.

As far as the romance goes. For the first half of the book, even though Chase is around he’s really not in your face or anything. This is one of those complicated love triangles where I don’t dislike anyone. I love Steve for Della because he is so steady and sweet. He doesn’t let her shake him off and he keeps trying. I don’t have any problems with Chase (not like the fuming hate I had for Derrek in the first series). It’s like my loyalty is to Steve because I read their novella first and he has been around longer. I don’t know. Like I said I don’t hate Chase…...Oh it’s so complicated!!!!!

So I loved the book and I’m a Della super fan. Like I said earlier this is one of my favorite YA series about a boarding school.

I really loved the first Shadow Falls series, but the main reason I loved it was because of Kylie's ghosts and her scary experiences with them.

I enjoyed Reborn, it definitely felt like we were back at Shadow Falls all with the same beloved characters, however Della was an annoying main characters. Her stubbornness got in the way of rational thinking and it made her so very immature which was frustrating to read. I loved her weak side, it was heart breaking really, but I hated that she hated that side of her. I hated that she didn't like showing affection and wouldn't let anyone in, no matter the good reason. And then the semi-love triangle will probably turn into a full blown love triangle in the next book was just super annoying, I swear love triangles never happen in real life!
