Week 23 Reviews: Unbreakable, Reborn


From Goodreads:
He isn't everything he says he is.  He's even more…Who is Chase Tallman, the newest member of Shadow Falls? What made him into the sexy, mysterious vampire he is today? And what led him to Della Tsang? Step back in time and unearth the secrets that haunt him.  

The secret of how he became a vampire—and how he knows so much about being reborn.  

Secrets about his first love, his family--and what steers him toward Della, the beautiful, complicated girl he just can't seem to stay away from. The one who makes him want things he thought he'd given up on long ago. It all began with a research study, a palm reader, and a plane crash that sent him on a quest…for a love that's unbreakable.

From Goodreads:
Return to the beloved world of Shadow Falls, a camp that teaches supernatural teens to harness their powers—and where a vampire named Della will discover who she’s meant to be.

For Della Tsang, Shadow Falls isn't just a camp: it's home. As a vampire who's never fit in with her human family, it's the one place she can truly be herself. But when a mysterious new guy arrives at camp, Della's whole world is thrown into turmoil. Chase is a vampire with secrets, who knows more than he's telling. But the more time she spends with him, the more she begins to trust this attractive stranger—and feel drawn to him. But romance is the last thing she wants—as she keeps telling Steve, the hunky shapeshifter who won't stop trying to win her heart. And if Della isn't careful, he just might succeed.  

When a new case puts everyone she cares about in danger, Della's determined to do everything she can to save them . . . even if it means teaming up with Steve and Chase, who leave her more confused than ever. With their lives on the line, will Della and her friends survive—with their hearts intact?

My first review of Unbreakable, Reborn
My Review:
It was a lot of fun to read these books again! Chase is a pretty interesting dude and it was interesting to see his pretty big defining moment before be met Della. And Della, she's a pretty awesome narrator, different from Kylie, and just as interesting to read about!

Pretty much all of Unbreakable takes place over the course of a few hours, plus the news articles about a day later. So Chase goes through some pretty intense things pretty much back to back, from the blooming relationship with his sister's best friend, the crash, to becoming a vampire. The high of highs to the low of lows (not that becoming a vampire is necessarily a low, but the circumstances surrounding his experience certainly is!)

Honestly, I kinda forgot about the whole Reborn thing. I did kinda remember about her cousin, and yeah, which is too bad, because we hardly got to know him. I did forget that Burnett was one, as well. Which just shows the awesomeness of rereading!

We also had Della investigating a murder with her first ghost, which is kinda hilarious given all the fear she had of Kylie's ability. Though I wonder why it kicked in before she became Reborn? Plus there was all the relationship/feelings drama with Della, Chase and Steve! Must have more! 

Yeah, this was a great kick off to this spin off series, and I can't wait to reread more!
