Night World Volume 1

Night World, No. 1: Secret Vampire; Daughters of Darkness; Spellbinder (Night World, #1-3) by L.J. Smith

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Hmmmmm.....



I started reading Night World because I LOVED the Vampire Diaries series, and I have to admit, I didn't enjoy it as much.



The first book (Secret Vampire) was my favourite, and I found that this was possibly the best-written book of the three in this omnibus. I got a shock when I discovered that each of the stories was only loosely connected, centering around the Redfern family and their witch cousins. From there, I thought the writing went downhill, although I was still hooked. I have to admit, the soulmate principle is getting a bit tired now in my mind. Will it only stop when Rowan, Kestrel and Blaise have found their soulmates? Will it continue until everyone associated with the Redferns is breaking Night World Law without a second thought? To be honest, that was a rule just dying to be broken. Oh yes, you can't fall in love with humans..... the basic principle of every single paranormal romance I have ever read. But, if you think about it, say a vampire fell in love with me, told me all about the Night World, and I tried to tell anyone. They would send me to a psychiatrist who would analyse these strange 'visions'. No one in hell would believe me. So, dumb rule huh?



I have to admit, I may be just a little in love with Ash though.
