Thoughts
First I’d like to start off this re-read with this
sort of Excerpt...
The
Night World... love was never so scary.
The night world isn’t a
place. It’s all around us. It’s a secret society of vampires, werewolves,
witches, and other creatures of darkness that live among us. They’re beautiful
and deadly and irresistible to humans. You high school teacher could be one,
and so could your boyfriend.
The Night world laws say
it’s OK to hunt humans. It’s OK to toy with their hearts; it’s even OK to kill
them. There are only two things you can’t do with them.
1) Never let them find out the Night World exists.
2) Never fall in love with one of them.
These are stories about what
happens when the rules get broken.
I wish to start that way
because it’s the plot point, the reason and the whys of this set of nearly
middle grade romance. It’s also at the beginning off all the bind-ups that I
have (could also be in the single books, what’do I know).
I love this series. It’s nearly
fan girl love with this series. And for that reason I’m a little pissed ‘cause
I want book 10 but I’m not even sure it’s written or if it ever will be.
I think that the idea of the
world is great. I think the whole feelings and beings of soulmates is great. And
I like that she has strong characters—both male and female, coming together and
being one. Partners. Equals. Which isn’t something that happens a lot in
romances.
Each book is better than the
last. Each books makes you fall in love. Each book is short enough to be read
by anyone. It’s simple, easy and just a fun little story that’s all about love—and
I guess a little about war. But that’s further down the line.
Secret Vampire is...well, I
was going to say favourite of this volume, but I’m lying.
It’s a great start with a
vampire and a human falling in love, though the vampire fought it by ignoring
it until he couldn’t anymore or he’d leave her.
It’s sweet and get a few
tears in your eyes.
Daughters of Darkness is
about a family who end up living in a hole-in-the-wall town to hide from their
family. Only they come to the attention of Mary Lynette. She’s a great character.
Truly one of the best. I love her.
This book is about the loss
of a grandmother and the family trying to find out what really happened to her.
Enchantress, was my least
favourite. I’m putting this to the fact that it was about witches and that’s
never really done anything for me.
But it was alright. All about
two falling in love, a ghost, them trying to make it right again and then
memory loss.
It’s a great series, if I do
say so myself, and defiantly for a younger audience. I say this because it’s a disappointment
if you think anything more from them. but they are great little books that can
be read anywhere, and at any age.
