Things haven't been going well for Kylie Galen lately; her parents are divorcing, her boyfriend's broke up with her and already has a new girl, her best friend for years has suddenly become a completely different person... oh, and a man in military fatigues that only she can see has been stalking her for months. As if that wasn't bad enough, said best friend drags her to an end of the school year party where she and everyone else gets arrested.

Her mother decides to send Kylie to Shadow Falls thus dooming her to a summer at a camp for troubled teens with bad attitudes and drug problems. Then she actually gets there and Kylie discovers its real purpose: a training institute to help vampires, witches, werewolves, fairies, and shapeshifters to hone their abilities and blend in with the larger world.

And apparently Kylie's one of them.

As Kylie comes to grapple with her new reality she must contend with amongst other things: two roommates who love to fight with each other, two cute and hot guys both with an interest in her, an angry werewolf whose into one of those guys, and the fact that no-one knows just what Kylie is. Kylie has never felt like she was normal and even though she feels deeply uncertain about everything, one thing is becoming painfully clear—Shadow Falls might be just where she belongs

Written by fantasy author C.C. Hunter, the first of the '''Shadow Falls''' series was released in 2011 with ''Born at Midnight'' followed by ''Awake at Dawn'', ''Taken at Dusk'', ''Whispers at Moonrise'', ending with ''Chosen at Nightfall''. Two short stories were also released featuring [[ADayintheLimelight prospective of Kylie's vampire best friend Della Tsang]]. ''Turned at Dark'' which told of [[OriginStory how Della first became a vampire and found herself at Shadow Falls]]. The second was ''Saved at Sunrise'' seeing her on an assignment for the FRU (the police force of the supernatural community).

* OurMonstersAreDifferent: The Supernatural Races are in the end no different from regular humans, and in fact are better defined as humans with supernatural powers.
** [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampires]]: Vampires aren't undead but rather the result of a dormant virus that's triggered by being in close proximity to other vampires with an open wound. It's in fact very rare, not unheard of, for a vampire to convert a human through feeding on them.
** [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Werewolves]], instead of a curse, the werewolves can change at will on the full moon and the different phases can affect their physical appearance.
** [[OurWitchesAreDifferent Witches]] are the closest to how they're traditionally portrayed though apparently conditions like Dyslexia can make it incredibly difficult to cast spells such as in Miranda's case.
** [[OurFairiesAreDifferent Fairies]]: Called "Fae", they're more or less psychics with the longest lifespan out of all the races at an average of 500 years or so. Amongst their powers include healing, emotion sensing and manipulation, and dream walking.
** [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent Shapeshifters]]: They can take the form of any animal. The animal must be real, but need not be extant; Perry objects to being asked to transform into a unicorn because they're not real, until Holiday informs him that they ''used'' to be. There is also some vaguely-implied limitation that they must resemble the genuine article, as Kylie tricks Perry into becoming a deaf cat when she wants some privacy by telling him to have white fur and blue eyes.
** The [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Death Angels]] are feared by all of the supernatural races due to their nature of handing out justice to those who anger them. Most people get too caught up to notice these people be like [[spoiler: Mario]] do have it coming.
** [[OurGhostsAreDifferent Ghosts]] are the souls of the deceased who can't pass on due to UnfinishedBusiness compounded with the fact no-one can see them except for a select few. Most are feared because there's no way to know if a specific spirit is just a wayward soul in need of help or a malicious soul looking to get carted off to Hell.

One night Kylie Galen finds herself at the wrong party, with the wrong people, and it changes her life forever. Her mother ships her off to Shadow Falls—a camp for troubled teens, and within hours of arriving, it becomes painfully clear that her fellow campers aren't just "troubled." Here at Shadow Falls, vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters, witches and fairies train side by side—learning to harness their powers, control their magic and live in the normal world.

As Kylie comes to grapple with her new reality she must contend with amongst other things: two roommates who love to fight with each other, two cute and hot guys both with an interest in her, an angry werewolf whose into one of those guys, and the fact that no-one knows just what Kylie is.

Kylie has never felt like she was normal and even though she feels deeply uncertain about everything, one thing is becoming painfully clear—Shadow Falls might be just where she belongs…

Written by fantasy author C.C. Hunter, the first of the '''Shadow Falls''' series was released in 2011 with ''Born at Midnight'' followed by ''Awake at Dawn'', ''Taken at Dusk'', ''Whispers at Moonrise'', ending with ''Chosen at Nightfall''.

** Vampires: Vampires aren't undead but rather the result of a dormant virus that’s triggered by being in close proximity to other vampires with an open wound. It's in fact very rare, not unheard of, for a vampire to convert a human through feeding on them.
** Werewolves: Instead of a curse, the werewolves can change at will on the full moon and the different phases can affect their physical appearance.
** Witches The closest to how they're traditionally portrayed though apparently conditions like Dyslexia can make it incredibly difficult to cast spells such as in Miranda's case.
** Fairies: Called "Fae", they're more or less psychics with the longest lifespan out of all the races at an average of 500 years or so. Amongst their powers include healing, emotion sensing and manipulation, and dream walking.
** Shapeshifters: Exactly It Says on the Can, they can take the form of any animal with the only limit it seems is their imagination; a newcomer to the camp was able to take the form of a unicorn. (which aren't real in this setting) simply by picturing a horse with a horn.
** The Death Angels are feared by all of the supernatural races due to their nature of handing out justice to those who anger them. Most people get too caught up to notice these people be like [[spoiler: Mario] do have it coming.
** Ghosts are the souls of the deceased who can't pass on due to Unfinished Business compounded with the fact no-one can see them except for a select few. Most are feared because there's no way to know if a specific spirit is just a wayward soul in need of help or a malicious soul looking to get carted off to Hell.
** [[spoiler: Chameleons are a relatively new species who are the result of centuries of interbreeding between all the different races, granting them all the abilities that come from that lineage. Unfortunately years of persecution have made them paranoid of any not one of them and its only near the end of ''Chosen at Nightfall'' do they begin to reveal themselves to the larger supernatural community.]]
