Items related to Escaped the Night
Shanntal is like any other teenager, except for the mysterious nightmares that seem to foretell a shadowy future. One night while playing with an Ouija board during a sleepover, Shanntal and her friend unwittingly summon Daray, a vampire who says they will soon be together. Visibly shaken, Shanntal has no idea that the cryptic message seemingly intended for her is just the beginning. When Shanntal returns home the next day, she discovers her family has been killed by mysterious bites. After moving in with her aunt and uncle, Shanntal eventually meets Jayce, an immoral who unveils a new realm and Shanntal's destiny. As she falls in love and befriends fairies, shape shifters, and others, she is hunted by an evil being as her past rises up and triggers her memory, reminding her that she is the one who can walk in both worlds. While Shanntal becomes torn between her love for Jayce and her loyalty to Daray, the two worlds hang on the precipice of change. Only one is the key to ensuring peace-if she is strong enough to survive. Escaped the Night is a tale of good versus evil as a teenager comes of age, learns her destiny, and battles to keep harmony in a paranormal world where only true love endures.

Review:
1.I wasvery impressed with how simply and effortlessly Jennifer Blyth can tell thisaddicting, multi-layered story with well-developed world building and greatcharacters and still manage to make vamps/demons/monsters/fairies, etc fresh! Aless talented author would probably over-write or over-dramatize to the pointof being totally unbelievable. But even with the fantastical storyline we areall in, hooked on every scene, as the world building always follows its ruleswhich is so important in books like this. At first it took me some time toacclimate and get the feel of the characters and their backstory... was confusedon a few things, but stuck with it and it all became clear. A very well writtenand intoxicating read all through to the end. Can't wait to read more fromJennifer Blyth in the future! Recommend for fans of YA and NA paranormalromance.

1. I like how even though this novels isabout vampires, which is a topic that seems to have been covered from almostevery conceivable angle, the story never becomes predictable or feels cliché, and there are some serious plot twists I didn't see coming...The characters were so well developed and fleshed out I feel like I knew thempersonally, and for such a 'paranormal' themed book, it felt strangelybelievable... like more 'real' than most fantasy/paranormals, if this makessense. The pacing was good, but there were some editing errors (more towardsthe beginning than later on...)An emotionally seductive and satisfying 'escape'that I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a great paranormal novelwith a unique take on the vampire myth. Jennifer Blyth did a terrific jobmaking this story feel like something we haven't read a million times, which ispretty impressive. Ready for more from this author! Recommend.

1."Escapedthe Night" by Jennifer Blyth was one of the most unexpectedly awesome booksI've read in a while. To be totally honest, at first I wasn't sure I'd like itbecause I had a hard time figuring out what it was about from the description,and I've been a bit burned out on paranormal lately (*they are all starting tofeel the same*). But I was really impressed with the opening sample, andthought I'd take a chance. Well, I'm so glad I did! Much to my surprise it was so unique and original, it really wasunlike anything I'd read, and in a good way!! I loved the fresh approach onvampire lore, and there were so many amazing characters ((Shanntal, Ginata (!),Jayce, Daray and all the others are great)) It had so many interesting plottwists and once I got into the book it was impossible to put down, and once Ifinished I immediately looked for the next one, hoping the storylinecontinued! "Escaped the Night" is awonderful book for reading on those cold winter nights--A fantastical, yetbelievable storyline that leaves you wanting more. Probably best suited for YA/NA, but can see older readers enjoying it as well. (4 stars) Layla Messing- Goodreads; Shelfari; Barnes& Noble; Indie Book Reviewers
1."Escapedthe Night" by Jennifer Blyth was such a great find! I'm so happy I discoveredthis author, and I love how long of an ebook it is!! I like that I can reallylose myself in the story and with the fascinating characters. Blyth's writingis very descriptive and I felt like I was really inside this unique world theauthor created. I liked that it made me think outside the box and wasn't justanother formulaic vampire story. This was really original, I thought, but atthe same time comfortingly familiar. My only beef was that it felt like it tooktoo long to get going (even though there is good, crazy action at thebeginning), for there to be the tension needed to really hook us in to havingto keep reading. At times I thought some of the narrative went on a bit toolong (too much 'telling') and there were some minor editing things I noticed.But despite that I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to read the nextbook from Jennifer Blyth soon. Definitely recommend for fans of YA paranormal& fantasy romance. (4 stars) BrendaMaxwell- Goodreads; Shelfari; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers
1."Escapedthe Night" by Jennifer Blyth is a really good read with an interesting conceptand some of the most genuine 'YA" narrative and prose I've come across in along while..... And just when I thought I was done with vampires forever and hadread every possible angle they could take. Make no mistake, there are plenty ofsubplots happening here, At times I almost felt like it was too much, althoughthe author describes it very well, and I know it's instrumental to the overallstoryline and with what is happening with the main characters. It's justsometimes seemed like overkill when I would've preferred to maybe see a deeperemotional relationship build between the characters instead. This is a great combinationof a character driven literary novel as well as an action-packed one, and thereis great energy that whisks us along. The thing that struck me the most wasjust how genuine and authentic it all came across... like how teens and creatureswould really talk and act.... In a frighteningly good way. Curious to see ifthere will be more books like this and where they will go. The ending seems toleave room open for more, but I don't really see any mention.
