In the Forests of the Night by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes

Description: I was born to the name of Rachel Weatere in the year 1684, more than three
hundred years ago. The one who changed me named me Risika, and Risika
I became, though I never asked what it meant. I continue to call myself
Risika, even though I was transformed into what I am against my will.

By day, Risika sleeps in a shaded room in Concord, Massachusetts. By
night, she hunts the streets of New York City. She is used to being alone.

But now someone is following Risika. Someone has left her a black rose,
the same sort of rose that sealed her fate three hundred years ago.

Three hundred years ago Risika had a family - a brother and a father who
loved her. Three hundred years ago she was human.

Now she is a vampire, a powerful one. And her past has come back to
torment her.

This atmospheric, haunting tale marks the stunning debut of this fourteen year old novelist.
