After Dark Emi Gayle 9781937744144 Books

(RabidReads.com)4.5 stars rounded up. Teenage girl who just happen to be something other than human. It’s been written about so many times. But. Sometimes a book comes along that even though a tad similar to all the others, it’s actually so different and well written that the reader can forget all about any similarities.

MacKenzie(Mac)is a changeling and what that means, is that she can change into any supernatural creature that she wants to-after dark. Before dark, she is all human and has to attend school. She abhors humans and keep herself apart from everyone, pretty much guaranteeing that she has no friends. She is eighteen and has eight more months until she has to decide on her birthday what she will be forever. She has no idea what she wants to be and plans on waiting until the last minute to choose. The counsel that rules the supernaturals have started putting pressure on her to pick her forever form. Each member of the counsel started out as a changeling like Mac, and when Mac chooses, she will take someones place on the counsel and rule that race of supernatural. When she sees a boy from her school with a book that has a picture of something from her world on it, she knows she has to see the book. This involves making friends. The boy, Winn, is pretty much a nerd, but he is a good guy as well.

Mac’s character is the epitome of a hardcore kick ass loner. It takes finally letting some human’s into her life to begin to change Mac. I loved how vulnerable she was at times and how hard she tried to fight her attraction to Winn-all the while planning to use him to get to the book. I also really liked her conversations she has with herself in her mind. Winn was the epitome of a nerd, one that was cute with abs. But still a nerd. The more he is around Mac, the more he opened up to her and she to him and it’s not long before he realizes that Mac is “different.” Other important characters were Lucas, a vampire, and Alina, a fairy. They are Mac’s surrogate parents until she chooses. Also along for the ride are the other members of Winn’s nerd group, Maddie in particular. Maddie tries to befriend Mac. She’s the bubbly cheerleader type, but also happens to be smart enough to qualify for nerdom. But it’s the destroyer demon with a heart, Suze, the guard at the country club that doubles as a front for all things supernatural, that stole the prize for best side character for me. Throughout the book, he is a protector and information gatherer for Mac. He was sweet and funny and I want to see more of him in future books. Villains? They are there, but due to spoilers that’s all I can say.

This story pretty much centers on Mac’s journey to find out more about what a changeling is, who her real parents were, and her growing feelings for not only Winn, but also for other humans. Along the way, things start happening around her or to her and the reader along with Mac realizes that she’s no longer safe in her world.

At this point in the series it’s still a young adult read, but that could change as Mac is an adult now. So that’s just a heads up. Highly recommended to paranormal romance/urban fantasy readers age 15 up.

After Dark Emi Gayle 9781937744144 Books Reviews

I thought I was going to be annoyed by this book and its protagonist Mac at the beginning, but Emi Gayle suprised me. After Dark turned out to be a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Mac is a changeling and she must pick one form to become by her 19th birthday. She has a fairy and a vampire as surrogates parents, but has no clue what form she wants to become.

When Mac meets cute nerd Winn, she begins to learn more about herself from a mysterious book he found in the library and she begins to grow closer to him emotionally. I thought they were sweet together and Winn helped Mac to remember there were other things than just the dark.

I'm excited to continue with this series and can't wait to read Day After. I'm not 100% sold on the switch to Winn as the narrator, but I am sure Emi Gayle will pull it off beautifully.
I read this in mostly one sitting. I found this off of another reviewers page, and I am really glad I tried it. When I bought this I skipped ahead of about 40 in my TBR and I am glad I did.
I will definitely read the next book in the series. The changeling was well done and original, which is refreshing in itself. Also, it had a decent end, you know there is more coming, but it does not feel like one of those books that is just stopping just to stop where you will have to keep spending money to find out what should have been in book. (sorry mini rant - new pet peeve)
The book is worth the money if you like paranormal and ya. I would say this is a true YA and not the new genre of YA Trashy.

I loved Winn, he is great and look forward to more of him. I did see the outcome sooner than Mac did, but it was nice following the story and watching her grow to get there.

I am not big on rehashing the story, suffice to say, Winn and Mac complimented each other. I don't feel bad that I purchased the book, and I will get the next book in the series.

PS - I vote when she finally picks forms she picks Dhamphyr. Seems like the best solution to the problem )
This was a great new read, and a very promising start to a new series. I thought this was a unique story, and an interesting premise. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough back story, which made it just a teensy tiny bit confusing in the beginning. You weren't really sure of the world, but as the story progressed you understood it a lot more. My other complaint, which ties in with the back story, is that it was a little difficult keeping some of the side characters straight in the beginning, but again, as you read, everything becomes much clearer. Nevertheless, the story flowed very nicely, and it was never slow or boring. You were itching to turn the page to see what would happen next!

I LOVED Mac! She was hilarious, sarcastic, and tough...everything I liked in a character. Mac is a changeling, but this isn't the type of changeling everyone is used to reading. Mac can turn into anything she wants with just an inhale or exhale of her breath. I thought this was a great take on the concept, and it was refreshing to read. Winn is quickly introduced to the story, and has a major role to play. I thought he was a great main character that meshed nicely with Mac. I loved their cute little moments together. I also liked that there was no love triangle, and there isn't the possibility for one. In a time when there are triangle, squares, and sometimes even penatgons of love interests, I loved being able to read a book without any side character vying for Mac's heart. The secondary characters, once you got to know them, were great as well.

This story quickly becomes action-packed, and full of adventurous twists and turns. There are a lot of surprises, and just when you think you have everything figured out, there's something that changes your mind. I am eager to read the next books in this series, and I can't wait to see what else Ms. Gayle has to offer!
