The Night World By L.J. Smith

From the same author that brought you The Vampire Diaries comes a series of books that will captivate you and make you fall in love with your soul mate.  The Night World is all around you and it has it's own rules.  Never tell humans about the Night World and never fall in love with humans.  What happens when the rules are broken?  Read the books and find out.

The Night World series began in 1997.

This series has never lost it's popularity after all these years. Lisa Jane Smith is still out there writing books. She has given her readers so many quality books to choose from. Her series that she created before the Night World is The Vampire Diaries. That set of books is now a very HOT television series on the CW. This is it's first season and it's the highest rated show on the network.

The books are intended for a Young Adult audience, but I still enjoy them now and I'm 30 years old. That's a long time to be a fan of a series of books. If you or your teen likes paranormal fiction then this is a great set of books. There is romance, but it is done very tastefully. You will never see full on intimacy.

Amazon's 4 for 3 promotion.

You'll see that in the subtitles of this page. These books are linked to amazon and they are running a promotion on certain items. Right now the books can be bought for a good price and also you can get the fourth free. The omnibuses that I have listed are a part of that promotion. There are only three of them so that means you can get a fourth book free. Pick any book that's under $10 and is sold by amazon. The lowest priced book will be free if it's part of that promotion.

The first set of books from The Night World series.

They are a part of the 4 for 3 promotion with amazon.

The books are put together with three books in one paperback. When they were first released they were each their own book, but the characters were interwoven together. The first book Secret Vampire featured James and his best friend and soulmate Poppy. As the story progressed Ash was introduced. Near the end of the first book he introduces us to the witches Thea and Blaise. This is important since they have their own book.

The second book is Daughters of Darkness. Ash is once again involved and he's still a bad boy, but his character goes through some changes. In this book we meet three of Ash's sisters. Rowan, Kestral and Jade have fled their home to seek life in the world of humans. Ash is sent to bring them back and to make sure they have told no one about the Night World. Unfortunately for him he meets his soulmate and breaks all the rules. In this book we meet Quinn who is also a vampire, but he has a small role until his own book.

The third book is Spellbinder. Thea and Blaise are the main characters in this book. They are sisters that are fighting over a human boy. Thea finds out that Eric is her soulmate and Blaise wants him for herself as a boy toy that she will eventually throw away once she's done with him.

The second book set of The Night World series.

They are a part of the 4 for 3 promotion with amazon.

This book has novels four through six. These were previously released as their own books, but were also part of the Night World itself.

Book four is Dark Angel. This one is more of a stand alone book, but it's still about the Night World. Gillian is a teenager that's having trouble at home since her parents relationship is falling apart. She's very quiet and keeps to herself. Most people around her think she's younger than them because of her looks. Her life is turned upside down when she falls into an icy river and drowns. As she goes up to heaven she meets her guardian angel named who is ironically named Angel. He guides her into making the wrong decisions and she goes down a dangerous path. She did not know that she was a part of the Night World and is a witch. Her powers are being used for her own purposes and she ends up hurting someone. She realizes what she's done and must found out who this Angel really is and what he wants with her.

Book five is The Chosen. Rashel is a vampire hunter that has spent her life trying to make up for her mother's death by the hands of a vampire. This is all she's known. Her life is turned upside down when she meets her soulmate Quinn who is a vampire.

Book six is Soulmate. Hannah is a human that thinks she's going insane. She keeps finding notes that are in her handwriting and she doesn't remember writing them. Her therapist helps uncover her past lives and she finds out that she's the reincarnated soulmate of a vampire named Thierry. He's been around since the time of the cavemen. She has died several times while trying to be with him. Every time they find each other something goes wrong and she believes he has something to do with it.

    Although I'm not a big fan of books about vampires, I think you've done a great lens on these books. Your love of them shines through and you give enough description of them to get me interested without giving away too much of the story. Great job - blessed by an Angel.
