Sixteen-year-old Echo Navarri, daughter of world-famous archaeologists, Alice and Peter Navarri, had spent her life traveling from one expedition to the next as her parents unearthed lost civilizations.
On their thirteenth dig, Midnight, Echo's twin sister, disappears without a trace. This prompts a year-long search that leaves the family nearly broken.
In an attempt to find some closure they reluctantly host a mock funeral for Midnight without ever recovering her remains.
Nearing the one year anniversary of Midnight's assumed death, Echo is sent to live with her eccentric Aunt Luna who is the caretaker of the centuries old Navarri Estate in Port Royal, Maine.
Echo attempts to settle into her new life in Port Royal, but soon finds that she's destined for adventure as the mystery of her family's history, the sunless town, and its oddly intriguing people teeter on the supernatural
~~~My Review~~~

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
OMG. I need book 2 STAT! This is the first book I have read by Rue Volley. Why has it taken me so long to discover her greatness? I loved 13 Ways to Midnight.
First let's talk about the cover; it's very badass and mysterious looking. I was drawn to the cover. I think it sets the tone of the whole story perfectly. 13 Ways to Midnight has everything that a YA Paranormal Romance needs. Awkward teen girl ✔ Hot Vampire love interest ✔ Witchy best friends ✔ The town of Port Royal is made up of some very interesting charcters. I could tell you so much, but alas...spoilers.
I will say this, 13 Ways to Midnight is not just a story of romance. It is about family, loss, friendships, and discovering how one fits into all those things.
Lastly, it ends with a cliffhanger. An OMG, no you didnt, I can't even, cliffhanger!
