Most authors don’t expect their literary characters to just walk through the door, and yet that is just what happens to Jessica. Ever since she can remember, Jessica has had vivid dreams of a world that does not-could not-exist, and she has since described this world and its people on paper. Though no one in her high school knows it, she is a published author and her latest book, Tiger Tiger has just come out. At the same time, two new students have arrived: the overly friendly Caryn- whom Jessica could care less about despite her best efforts to get close to her- and Alex, who bears a striking resemblance to Tiger Tiger’s main character, the vampire named Aubrey. But of course that is impossible. Vampires don’t exist and Aubrey is just a figment of her imagination. Yet as she gets to know Alex, strange things begin to happen that begin to blur the lines between Aubrey’s world and her own reality. Soon, Jessica begins to wonder; “Is Alex really a Demon in My View?”

A very intriguing story. While not a particularly challenging read for teens, Atwater-Rhodes paints a very realistic mythology in this story that will capture the reader's interest.
