Customer Reviews

Four and a Half Stars

I believe that you shouldn't take all reviews into account when purchasing a book. Because the reviews for this book was pretty dismal i decided not to buy it, but my sister had other thoughts and gave it to me on my birthday and i have to say thank god! This book isn't as bad as everyone says. Okay sure, Gillian appears a little superficial at the start but then everyone is superficial, even if it's only a tad. Miss Smith makes the reader relate to Gillian though and as you get to know her you see that she isn't all that superficial, she just wants to fit in like every teenager. The plot was more four star but the characters were believeable, good and the dialoge and pace was great. Over all it was a four and a half star but you only have four or five so i stepped it up half a star.

So Good!

This book is great for anyone who likes unexpected suprises. I liked how, at first, Morgead seemed like a vicious, mean, guy, but turned out to be really caring. And I liked how the gang was viewed as sort of a family. And I liked the twist in the end and the one in the begining.

My Favorite!

It's true, this book wasn't completely like all the other books in the series, but... so what? Although most people find Gillian wimpy, I found her easier to relate to than some legendary type of heroine. I loved the characters, and this is the book that latched me onto the series. Lisa Jane Smith has done it again!

It seems like I may be one of the only people who like it.

I liked this book. Call me crazy but I thought it was great. Gillian may not have been the normal female character but she was still pretty cool. David sounded like a god and Angel who was really Gary was like ghost of my dreams. Plus for an added bonus we got to see Ash again and he saved Gillian's life even though he thought she was human. Which means he's trying to good and slay dragons for his soulmate. Yeah I guess it wasn't totally Ms. Smith's normal book but I loved it. It was the first time we heard about the lost Harman babies which came into play in WhitchLight. Did anybody else notice that Gillian and Ilianna are like second cousins? Also the Night world was always there lurking in the background. Angel was the night world. The bad guy, the dark one. I've read this book over seven times and it always gets better.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST NIGHT WORLD BOOK!!!! -YET

I have read all the Night World books so far and this by far is my favorite. With Secret Vampire and The Chosen tied for second. I love Jez as the main character. The fact that she is a strong girl who can fight AND think for herself makes her totally cool. I love the soulmate principle. The Wild Power idea was a great one and that something big is going to happen at the millenium makes me want to keep reading to find out what it's going to be. I hope to see the characters from this book along with those from all the other books showing up in the future. If it was possible to give this book six stars I would do it in a minute. To all those out there thinking of reading the Night World series and those just looking for a good read srart with the first one Secret Vampire and you'll be hooked gareented!! : )
