Chosen
Book Description
Publication Date: December 19, 2012
In CHOSEN (Book #4 of the Vampire Legends), Rachel Wood wakes after having just taken the leap of faith with Benji with the Blue Tablet. She searches for him, amazed she is still alive, only to find that he did not fare as well: he is mortally injured. And with only days left to live, he needs her help to survive. He needs her to find the ancient Red Amulet, the only element known to be able to heal a vampire.
Rachel embarks on a journey to save her love—a journey which will take her deep into the heart of the gravest danger. She will have to confront rival covens, and to search far and wide as she follows the trail of clues. It leads her to Hunter, to Benji’s parents, who still live in an ancient castle in Maine, on a remote island. And it leads her back home, to her family and friends, who she will have to confront once again. Her journeys take her into the heart of fraternity parties, and of old houses with hidden secrets and ancient books.
In the meantime, Rob is now a fully turned vampire—and he has never given up his feelings for Rachel. In fact, as a vampire, they are even more intense. He will stop at nothing until he finds her and has her again. Along the way, he will leave a trail of devastation, out of control with his newfound vampire powers and his lust to feed. He will confront Arielle, Rachel’s brother Marc, and even track down her sister Sarah at her dorm room in Syracuse. He will stop at nothing to find Rachel.
But Rachel is on an urgent mission herself, to save Benji, and it may be too late. When her mission finally ends, she will be left with a choice, one that will force her to choose if she will make the greatest sacrifice of her life. Is she willing to give up her life to save her one and only true love? How much is she willing to sacrifice?
CHOSEN is book #4 of the Vampire Legends series (following SWORN, TAKEN and BITTEN), and is also a standalone novel.
Book #5 in the series-AWAKENED--is now also available!

Giving this book a 1 star, is being very generous. After having this on my TBR for a while, I thought I'd give this series a shot...it had great reviews. This is the last book, and I will not read anymore in this series. I tried really hard to look past the errors, grammatical and otherwise, but when you leave things off and then don't even follow up on it in the next book, or worse, have a different spelling of a character in one book....c'mon...wth? Let's not even go with the fact the Rachel's parents kicked her out and yet when they move back to PA they act like it never happened...and that is just one example of the poorly thought out and written book(s) in this series. And Rob just goes around making vampires or killing people? I just can't take it anymore. I had HIGH hopes that this would be a decent series, but yet again it FAILED on so many levels for me. Ms. Knight, please research, re-do or something, this is a horrible series.

Spoiler Alert!! This book begins with both Rachel and Benji together in a cave waking up after being unconscious for a year. Unfortunately though Benji was severely injured and the only way to save him involves using the red amulet. Rachel leaves him in the cave and goes on the mission to find the red amulet. Since a year has passed however, Rob manages to go on a feeding killing spree turning everybody he kills starting with his girlfriend. He becomes so obsessed with finding Rachel that he turns her brother Marc then turns her sister Sarah as well. Meanwhile, Rachel is on her quest to find the red amulet and goes to the castle looking for information, then goes looking for Hunter and with his and Penelope's help they go visit his parents to ask for help.
Rachel manages to speak to Benji's mother and get the help she needs. She soon realizes that she needs to get an item from her old room only to discover that her parents no longer live in New York and moved back to Pennsylvania. As Rachel travels to her old home she learns that Sarah is in college, her mother is hospitalized, and her father wants nothing to do with her. Rachel recovers the missing item she needed and leaves Pennsylvania to find the red amulet. Once she finds the red amulet in New York she flies as fast as she can back to the cave to save Benji. Rachel makes it back to the cave, takes Benji in her arms and flies out of the cave and lands on a open field and sets out to preform the spell to save Benji knowing that she'd be giving her life for his. This book ends with Benji waking up and Rachel passing out repeating the spell.

Should be proofread
It is disappointing to attempt to read a novel that is filled with all types of errors from typographic to spelling, grammar, and punctuation. A writer should never rely on spell check or grammar check. These programs are not as accurate or reliable as one might think they should be. Nothing can take the place of an educated, intelligent, highly skilled proof reader. If one takes pride in his/her work, one would see the value of employing a proof reader. I could never recommend this author. When my teenage grandchildren repeatedly, page after page, comment on errors, it's pretty bad.

Alot of misspelling and grammatical errors. As if that was enough the storyline from previous book her parents kicked her out of the house permanently in this book she just disappeared and when she showed up her dad and her insuinuated she just left not kicked out then her dad rekicks her out.

Chosen by Emma Knight is part of a series. This is a complete story in itself. You can pick up the story line easily. Benji and Rachel are a couple of vampires in love with each other. Rachel wakes up in a cave without Benji. She searches for him and finds him severely injured with blood coming from his neck. He wakes up briefly and tells her the red amulet. She takes to the sky to find Uncle Drew. Uncle Drew tells her great grandfather had it last. No one knows where it is now. Grandfather doesn't talk to anyone in the family except perhaps to Hunter, Benji's brother. She flies off to coollrge where Hunter is enrolled. Meanwhile, Rachel's ex boyfriend Rob is looking for her. She disappeared the year before when she was changed. He's a vampire now too. He goes around wantonly changing people to satisfy his thirst. He's so much stronger now. He finds Rachel's brother Marc and he is hostile to him and tells him his sister Sarah may know but she's away in college. He flies off to school to find Sarah. Sarah also is hostile to him. She says Rachel moved on telling him you broke her heart after not showing up on their first date. He changes her trying to get more information. Will Rachel find the ruby amulet to save Benji? Will Rob find Rachel. We shall see.

Emma, I love your covers - the artwork is well done. The storyline was sorta ok, but you really need to find someone who can edit your work for you. There were so many mistakes in the story that I felt that you must be a teenager writing these books.
Even still, someone out there should really assist you to make these books a lot better. I gave you a poor review because you also don't read up on your previous work. You make mistakes that mess up the storyline. For example: you have the main character always lock her diary and she wears the key around her neck. End of book one her family finds her diary and breaks it open and finds out about her seeing a vampire.
In book two you twist it all around like the family has never opened the diary and her sister hid it for her return, and it is still sealed. Then later you say her sister read her diary.
Ok, I suggest you re-read all your books and re-edit it and bring it out as a second edition with the corrections done.
Apart from all the errors it was a good effort. I will keep my eyes open to see if there are any improvements in future work.
You have a talent, but you just need to work on it.

You know when you step out of a movie and then go back in and ask your companion what happened and they give you a very brief rundown so you know the basic plot points, but have lots of unanswered questions? That is how I feel when I read this series. Emma Knight touches on the plot points but the back story is non-existent.
I can’t find out anything about this author but the more I read of her books, the more I am convinced that she is in high school. Her parents’ reactions to Rachel’s shenanigans are not very realistic. They are more like reactions from people who have no real world experience. Someone without the viewpoint of a parent. I would actually rate this book with more stars if I knew for sure they were in high school, I could make allowances for that.
This story is full of holes and unanswered questions. I can be patient but this is the fourth book. I can only be patient for so long. Throw me a bone and tell me some details.
I would recommend this book highly for masochists and people who are really into delayed gratification.

On the plus side, this book feels like Emma's getting a little better at making sure her story flows (if you ignore weird comma placements that throw a reader). There's still plenty of problems in need of an editor or reader feedback, but it made me hopeful for later books if there was a slight improvement.
This book starts to bring in Mark's perspective...or should I say Marc. That drove me absolutely insane, the change in spelling. And what was worse, it was a clear find & replace in whatever word editor was used. Know how I know? You see 'reMarced' multiple times. Also, a new vampire ability is introduced here - spraying Narly potion at enemies from the neck (like Spiderman sprays webs from his wrists). I think she meant to use 'gnarly' instead of making up a special word for the stuff, and it was just a *really* odd power. I've never heard of that in vampire lore.
Anyway, with so many of the books being free, grab them and hopefully an update will go out in the future fixing all the bugs. Fingers crossed :)

Oh my god how horrible
Oh my god how horrible
I have read this far in the series hoping to find some sort of redemption. I have been sorely disappointed. the plot is terrible and poorly developed. The writing is inconsistent. The only redeeming quality to the series is that the books are short and can be read in a few hours. I hate giving anyone a poor review, and always try to overlook poor grammar, but can not over look poor writing.

These books are terrible. I couldn't even make it to the third chapter in this book, I literally gave up, which I never do. The only reason I made it this far is because I kept hoping it might get even just a little better. The author was either writing Twilight fan fic or was heavily inspired by it (heavily inspired being the nicest way to put it). The writing is amateur and the dialogue is forced. Just not a fan.

This story has no continuity from book to book or within it's characters. For example, Rachel gets thrown out of her house in the last book, but here her father says she disappeared for a year and they thought she was dead. Don't get me started on the Rob character, his behavior in this book doesn't make any sense. Again there are many editorial mistakes...what is "reMarced"? It was use at least four times. I keep hoping the next one will be better but it doesn't happen.

Another 3.5! the only reason the reviews aren't going up is because she is still going a little too fast for me! I feel things could be explained a little better, if they were I know I would not have been able to put it down and be done with all 6 by now lmao!! overall its a good read though
December 6, 2014
The story is decent, the typos in this one were REALLY annoying "reMarced" was the worst one. Since I have up to book 6 and paid next to nothing for them...I will read on....maybe there will be something more than Benji and Rachel taking turns attempting to die for each other.

Details details details
Good story but far too many repetitive details. A reader may find themselves skimming through the pages. I recommend the book based on the fact that there is still a good story among the details.

Part 4
Dang she went through all that and that just happened at the end . I can't wait to read part 5 and to see what happened next. And Rob is so determined to find Rachel that he's out there doing terrible stuff like that to her sister and brother. Good book though.

Emma knight did it again with another good book. I'm really enjoying reading these books. like I said about the first one, it's very short but nevertheless enjoyable.

The story line is a little crazy with a lot of holes. What's up with channging the spelling of the brothers name from Mark to Marc??

I Enjoyed This One Too
This one was short like the last three. But it was very good, my enjoyment I get out of it is Rachel and Benji's relationship.
