Cave of Terror
by Amber Dawn Bell
Cheyenne
Wilde can’t believe just how bad her sixteenth birthday was. I
mean, who would have ever suspected her parents were actually
vampires! Worse yet, it turns out that Cheyenne is actually a
Vanator, a vampire born to hunt evil. Now she finds herself
caught in the whirlwind of adolescence with two clicas of vampires
warring for her allegiance. Meanwhile, a new teenage boy has
caught her eye and it’s all Cheyenne can do not to stare whenever Ryan
is around. How will Cheyenne handle all the pressure? Can
she defeat the evil stalking her while remaining as normal a teenager
as possible?
The world building is spectacular in CAVE OF TERROR. From the
everyday scenes involving gymnastics to the heart stopping moments of
fear in the cave and elsewhere, Amber Dawn Bell does a great job at
crafting the overall atmosphere of the storyline. The ambiance is
crucial to the tale as the reader buys into the world of the vampires,
a world quite unlike the stereotypical vampire.
Amber Dawn Bell has written a tale that is pure fun, both for young
adults and adults alike. Cheyenne is a likable heroine, wanting
to do the right thing while trying to enjoy life as a teenager.
Her dedication and loyalty to her friends and family is admirable,
especially as circumstances get increasingly out of control.
Parents will appreciate Cheyenne’s sense of ethics while young adults
will relate to the emotional turmoil Cheyenne experiences. Excellent!
