Don’t trust anyone, not even yourself….You think you know someone pretty well, until you’re awoken in the middle of the night to the sound of unfamiliar voices and realize your sister’s being swept away by some supernatural creatures who climb in and out of windows and leap from two-story houses like it’s nothing.
My parents tried to tell me everything was fine, but when Cadence finally did come back from wherever they’d taken her, I knew there was something unusual about my older sister.
Now, her best friend is dead.
Her ex-boyfriend is acting bizarre.
And I’m afraid I might be next.
My name is Cassidy Findley, and I’m pretty sure my sister is a vampire, despite her “co-worker” making every effort to brainwash me into believing otherwise. With the help of my two best friends, we vow to get to the bottom of this before it’s too late, and my sister starts to claim other victims. I love her, but I won’t be turned, nor will I just sit by without doing everything I can to stop her. I can only hope that I’m not too late and that I can trust my own memories.
Because I’m pretty sure my sister’s friends are coming for me next.
The Chronicles of Cassidy is a retelling of The Clandestine Saga specifically for young adult/teen readers told from the perspective of high schooler Cassidy Findley.
ID Johnson wears many hats: mother, wife, editor, tutu maker, and writer, to name a few. Some of her favorite people are the two little girls who often implore that she "watch me!" in the middle of forming finely crafted sentences, that guy who dozes off well before she closes her laptop, and those furry critters at the foot of the bed at night. If she could do anything in the world, she would live in Cinderella's castle and write love stories all day while sipping Dr. Pepper and eating calorie-less Hershey's kisses. For now, she'll stick to her Dallas-area home and spending her days with the characters she's grown to love.
Cassidy and her sister have always been close, so when Cadence and her friends sneak away to attend a weird festival in another town, she's torn. She has a bad feeling about the whole thing. What kind of festival is held at the witching hour? When tragedy strikes, and Cadence begins showing some major changes, Cassidy begins to wonder if her sister is a vampire. Great book, and first in a series.

Written from the point of view of a teenage girl who sees her sister disappear one night and come back the next day a completely changed person ...or creature. Suddenly, strange things are happening with absolutely no explanations. Strange people start showing up at the house and act like they've always known her. Nobody seems able or willing to tell her anything about anything that's going on. The way the book is written, it truly feels as if the reader is actually in the mind of a teenager. Great for young adults who enjoy paranormal novels. My first read from this author, but I do have more of her books including the next one in this series. Looking forward to reading and reviewing more.
GREAT GOOGLY GOO!!! Ok guys, are you ready? Here we go straight off the deep end. An interesting read that keeps secrets and unanswered questions. You're not quite sure where you stand but keep pushing forward. The characters are complex. Their personalities vary but continue to grow as they search for answers. The scenes are a little confusing but make for an interesting backdrop. Twist and turns keep you on your toes as well as it keeps you looking over your shoulder. Great job Johnson, thanks for sharing this little guy with us.
I enjoyed this book, with its teenage adventures, mysterious strangers, unexplained changes and deaths. You are left wondering if the world of monsters is real and who, if anyone, are the good guys. So far, even though it seems to be written mostly for young adults, I've enjoyed reading this tremendously. I truly like the lifeline our leading lady is given in Elliott. Keep up the good work Ms. Johnson!
At first I hated this book. I had just finished the first one in the Clandestine Saga and I couldn't stand little sister, Cassidy. As the book went on though I can surely say that I am Team Cassidy. Go girl!
Amazing read, compelling storyline and wonderful narration!!!! A must read for any vampire fiction fan.. i read the book in three short days.. (broke my own recode)lol
Very Good book.I am on chapter two and I like it so far.Remember at the end of chapter one when the charecters sister was going to that parade with her friends?
