Commentary In Favor Of Books By Midnight (Ravenwood Mysteries #1)
April Dunne is not impressed. She's had to move from Edinburgh to Highgate, London, with her parents. She's left her friends - and her entire life - behind. She has to start at a new school and, worst of all, now she's stuck in a creepy old dump of a house which doesn't even have proper mobile phone reception. Ravenwood, her new school, is a prestigious academy for gifted (financially or academically) students - and the only place her parents could find her a place, in the middle of term, in the middle of London, on incredibly short notice. So she's stuck with the super-rich, and the super-smart... and trying to fit in is when the rest of the students seem to be more glamorous, smarter, or more talented than she is, is more than tough. It's intimidating and isolating, even when she finds a friend in the conspiracy-theorist Caro Jackson - and perhaps finds something more than friendship in the gorgeous, mysterious Gabriel Swift. But there's more going on at Ravenwood than meets the eye. Practical jokes on new students are normal, but when Gabriel saves her from... something .... in the Highgate Cemetery, and then she discovers that a murder took place, just yards away from where she had been standing, April has to wonder if something more sinister is going on.... and whether or not she's going to live through it...Rating About Books By Midnight (Ravenwood Mysteries #1)

I just noticed this book on a pile of books I was hoping to sell secondhand. I remember enjoying it even though it's quite clumsily written (though, as I've observed before, that seems to be par for the course in supernatural YA romance) and owes an obvious debt to Twilight, especially the idea that the vampire hero is attracted to our heroine not because of her intelligence or personality or even really her looks, but some gross, objectifying quality like her scent or her blood or her latentI enjoyed this book quite a bit. I was left at the end of it with loads of questions and am intrigued about where the series will go in the long run as quite a few interesting story threads have been set up.The whole was interesting as a whole as it was told from a whodunnit angle. I haven't read a vampire book that has taken this angle before and the whole story arc kept me guessing throughout as I was trying to 'solve' the crimes committed as the characters were also trying to do the same. I
This book was absolutely amazing, better than i had expected! There is already the blurb of the book instead I will give you my thoughts on the book. This book has great detail on scenes and the description on the characters. Mia gives the reader mixed emotions on how the character is feeling which makes you feel like you are feeling the exact same way as the character. If you are looking for a paranormal romance and a mystery this would be a great book for you, especially for those twilight
I love it!! I am so excited for the next one!!This is one book that has a twist your never get!
I liked this book, read it in one go! It could keep me intrigued all the time, and that's gotta be worth something! Btw, make sure to check out the videos at http://www.ravenwoodmysteries.com/, they rock! This book touched me deep, because some things I can very much relate to and I really do understand the pain April goes through, it cuts me like a knife.Okay, there are vampires in this book and yes they can walk in daylight, but at least they don't sparkle ^^ You just don't notice anything
Unlike many people I loved Twilight and want to read similar books to that story. So when I read the synopsis and then the author's intro, I was excited to start this one. However, I was EXTREMELY disappointed. I found myself skimming because I did not get the point. With Gabriel more or less hiding in the shadows all the time, it felt like a creep was always wondering around. Every single thing in this story dragged.April trying to fit in and thinking every boy she comes across is cute, made
I have always admired authors that give their story/characters ample time to build and develop. I love lush details and descriptions, and digging deep into a characters mind to find out what makes them tick. It can make any 400+ page book fly by where you are so caught up in it that you want to savor every word, every page until the very end. Unfortunately, for me, that wasn't the case with "By Midnight" by Mia James. It truly felt like I had been reading this book for MONTHS. (Instead of just
