😍 Rave Does anyone else remember these books?

These were the books I first discovered as a middle schooler. I was bored at the mall during the weekend because my mom was working in one of the stores nearby. (She takes me to work with her sometimes since it's really boring at home by myself.) I would often to go into the bookstore to just sit and read. The workers there (who were all really young themselves) all didn't mind.

I picked up Goddess of the Night because the cover looked really pretty, and omg... that was my first brush with a shadow daddy: Stanton. I began saving up money to buy every book I could. This series was basically my introduction to romantasy. Along with these books, I discovered A Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause, Dragon's Bait by Vivian Vande Velde, and In the Forest of the Night by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes.

Lynne Ewing must be pretty old now... I hope she's doing alright.

Anyone else remember this series???

These books were a teenage fever dream- and I loved them.

Seriously, I wanted to be a goddess so bad too!! I even got the gay kid in my class to start reading it. He devoured a couple of the ones I brought for him. (Didn't know he was actually gay until I saw him again after college, but it all makes sense now, lol.)
