Book Description

Publication Date: November 17, 2008

Do you believe in vampires? I sure didn't. Not until on my 16th birthday when I discovered I'm anything but human. And to add the cherry on the freaky sundae called my life, I'm the first Vânător born in over 500 years. You see, it means I'm destined to be a hunter of evil. That's right; I'm a real life Buffy. And to make matters worse, I'm falling for Ryan-this new guy at school. I never thought I'd be this love struck, hair tossing, dorky teenager. It's enough to make me want to hurl. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that on top of all this, I have an entity stalking me that wants to use my rare blood for his own evil deeds, a girl at school who lives to make my life miserable, and a gymnastics coach who is determined to see I make it to Nationals. Yep, things are really looking up for me. Welcome to the never boring, anything by normal, you never know what's going to happen life of Cheyenne Wilde.

My husband (a fan of romance but not of paranormal) and I (not really a fan of either) both read Cave of Terror and LOVED IT! I found myself reading faster and faster, hardly being able to wait to see what happened next.
The story is positive, youthful, funny, suspenseful...I was surprised and pleased to try a different genre and enjoy it so thoroughly.

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!

"Cave of Terror is a thoroughly attention-grabbing young adult paranormal romance. This first book in the Vânător series is compelling and a fast read. It captures the energy of young first love and spins an intriguing romance for young Cheyenne Wilde, the first Vânător in five hundred years--born to hunt evil. Can't wait to see what fate has in store for Cheyenne Wilde, her soul mate Ryan, and her best friend, Mandy...
Evil beware...There's a new Vânător in town!" ----Tamara J Kulick
