Predictable is the word that best describes Born at Midnight by C.C. Hunter. Standard for teen paranormal these days.
The plot was predictable and a bit boring, as were the characters and the big reveals in the storyline.
The main character is a bit whiney (Kylie:I don't belong here. I don't like him. Other:Yes, you do. Yes, you DO. Kylie:But I don't. Other:Ok, maybe you don't. Kyle:But I want to.) It got tiring after a while and, while I understand teenagers have confusion and angst in their lives, Kylie seemed over the top.
The best friends and love intersts are typical, if familiar. The goth vampire who has a chip on her shoulder and the inept witch. The half-fae who is immediately attracted to Kyle and the wolf with the mysterious past. The mystery is not much of a mystery as few details that were released early on were not in the least menacing or even interesting until the last few chapters of the book. The whole scene felt included just to introduce a character and add an element of danger to the main character.
I didn't really care to find out what type of being Kylie was and I'm sure I will not bother to read the following books in this series. To be perfectly honest, the main thing I enjoyed from this book is that I did not pay full price for it.
