Many readers find L.J. Smith's books not edgy enough or too juvenile by today's YA standards, but I happen to thoroughly enjoy the writing style of her novels. I think LJS, not Stephanie Meyer, was the first writer who gave a start to so popular nowadays genre of YA paranormal romance. Too many authors now rely heavily on sexual chemistry and make-out sessions to attract readers to their books at the expense of good plot. Smith's romances are very well balanced in that respect IMO. Although
Same as the first one, I'm giving this three stars, though if Goodreads allowed half-star ratings, this would have been 3 and a half stars, just because I liked this compilation better than the first volume. The first book (Dark Angel) gets 2 stars because of the maudlin dialogue but the latter stories (The Chosen, Soulmate) get 3 stars each; Soulmate because of sentimental value I suppose (this was the first Night World book I read) and the characters were good looking AND more kickass than
Dark Angel: This is one of my favorite books in the series. The plot twisted and left the reader in shock at the end. I think so many can relate to Gillian. She was basically invisible to the world until an angel came to bring out her beauty and give her an admirable personality. Through this she finds that her soul mate is her crush. She also finds herself. I was so happy at the end when Thomas was forgiven so he could forgive himself.The Chosen: You can't help but admire Rashel for being so
Oh, dear god. I picked this book up at my local library because it was free. Now, I know why.

Maybe it was morbid hope that the monsters would actually remember what they were and start putting an end to all this useless angst instead of falling into the unexplicable and sudden Wuv, Twoo Wuv of the One True
I liked these stories. What? I don't feel the need to justify it. They're fun YA paranormals, ludicrous, better-written than most. Sometimes you need that. Wine, pizza, L.J. Smith - if they don't make life better they at least make it tolerable.
The second omnibus volume to L.J. Smiths popular Night World Series does not disappoint. Rather, it surpassed all of my expectations and reminded me why I will, forever, read everything and anything published by Ms. Smith. This set of stories contains the usual elements of a L.J. Smith story that we have all come to know and love-the stories are intriguing, fast paced, and all around captivating; the characters are sexy, dangerous, witty, and well-rounded; and the universe is more developed and
