A deliciously angsty plunge into a shadowy world where the monsters you write about might just be waiting for you in the high school hallway.
What it feels like
Reading this book feels like stepping back into the golden age of early 2000s paranormal YA, wrapped in a heavy velvet cloak of teenage angst and gothic suspense. The atmosphere is shadowy and intensely earnest, capturing the raw, isolating experience of feeling like an outsider in your own life. It moves at a brisk, breathless pace, pulling you through a narrative where the comforting boundaries between fiction and reality begin to bleed together. The prose is straightforward but charged with dramatic tension, perfectly mirroring the protagonist's internal turmoil and the dark allure of the supernatural. It is a nostalgic, eerie delight for anyone who loves their vampires dangerous, their romance laced with dread, and their high school hallways steeped in shadows.

About the book
Jessica isn't your average teenager. Though nobody at her high school knows it, she's a published author. Her vampire novel Tiger, Tiger has just come out under the pen name Ash Night. Jessica often wishes she felt as comfortable with her classmates as she does among the vampires and witches of her fiction. She has always been treated as an outsider at Ramsa High.But two new students have just arrived in Ramsa, and both want Jessica's attention. She has no patience with overly friendly Caryn, but she's instantly drawn to handsome Alex, a cocky, mysterious boy who seems surprisingly familiar. If she didn't know better, she'd think Aubrey, the alluring villain from Tiger, Tiger had just sprung to life. That's impossible, of course; Aubrey is a figment of her imagination. Or is he?Nail-bitingly suspenseful, here is the deliciously eerie follow-up to In the Forests of the Night, by the remarkable fifteen-year-old novelist Amelia Atwater-Rhodes.From the Hardcover edition.
