In Dark Angel, Gillian is saved from drowning by her guardian angel. Only visible to Gillian, Angel will fulfill her heart''s every desire. But when Angel starts making strange and sinister requests, Gillian must question who he truly is and where he came from.

Armed with a wooden stake, martial arts, and the will to resist a vampire''s mind control, Rashel struggles to avenge her mother''s death in The Chosen. Then she meets Quinn, her soulmate, who is part of the world she has vowed to destroy.

Hannah receives notes warning her of incredible danger in Soulmate. But if death is her destiny, is the Lord of the Night World''s love strong enough to save her?

    More vampire and human love... less exciting than the first book

    These three books were all about forbidden love between a vampires, humans, and witches. However, in these stories, the characters didn't really care about the Night World laws. The stories were a bit different, and there were some enjoyable parts, but a lot of stories revolving around the same theme do get boring. They're good as short reads, especially if you get bored of characters fast. Dark Angel, for me, was the most enjoyable read.

    DARK ANGEL - 3.5/ 5

    Dark Angel was somewhat different than the previous three stories in the series since it doesn't just introduce two characters and say that they're soul mates. Throughout a great part of the story I wondered who exactly a character named 'Angel' was. The previous stories never had such a character who would speak inside the mind of the protagonist.


    One day, while walking home from school, Gillian hears a child crying near the creek. She has to help and thinks that the child might be drowning, so she looks into the creek only to lose her balance and falls in.

    Somehow she manages to make it out of the creek, but it's wintertime and she's freezing. She sees a tunnel with light at the end of it. Then she hears a beautiful boy who asks her if she wants to live. But she doesn't know what to live for since her mother is an alcoholic, her parents are unhappy together, and she's unpopular in school. Somehow the beautiful boy makes her see that there are things to live for and so Gillian chooses to live.

    She is told by the boy's voice to go in front of the car that is passing by. It's David's car, the boy that she has had a crush on for a long time. He helps get her home.

    She starts to hear the voice of the beautiful boy inside her head. He tells her what she must do in order to become popular. And he tells her to trust him and to call him 'Angel' because he's her guardian angel.

    But who really is Angel? And how difficult will it be for Gillian to become popular and get David, the boy she likes?

    THE CHOSEN - 3/5

    The Chosen by L.J. Smith did not excite me. Perhaps it was because it revolved around a vampire hunter. I kept zoning out when I was being told of Rashel's vampire hunting adventures. But I did like Quinn the vampire.


    On Rashel's fifth birthday party, inside a tube structure, she saw a man with red hair who seemed to be devouring her friend, Timmy. When her mother comes, the vampire broke the mother's neck. Rashel then got sent to her only relative's house to live, but that same vampire set the house on fire, and Rashel's relative died.

    After that, Rashel started moving around a lot, going from one foster family to the next. But what she knew most was that she must learn to protect herself from vampires, and that she wanted that very vampire, the one that killed her mother and Timmy, dead.

    In the future, Rashel becomes a vampire hunter, and has a few vampire hunter friends. They are observing a warehouse area because they suspect something is going on there. Rashel has knocked down a vampire named Quinn and they have taken him to a room. She tells her fellow vampire hunters that she will look after the vampire until go run an errand. Secretly she thinks about staking him.

    Everything goes wrong and Rashel willingly allows the vampire to escape. Now, she's all on her own to discover what's going on in the warehouses and to win back the respect she has lost from her fellow vampire hunters. They no longer believe her when she finds out that something big is actually going on in those warehouses.

    SOULMATE - 3/5

    Soulmate by L.J. Smith was an okay story. The beginning was extremely interesting, but after a chapter or two, it somehow went downhill. I did like that the protagonist, Hannah, has had many past lives, that she fail to remember. I also didn't like the decision that Hannah made in the end.


    The story starts with Hannah Snow, a girl with a large birthmark on her face, in the psychologist's office, telling him that she has finding notes in her room in her own handwriting but she has no recollection of writing them. She writes notes such as: "Dead before seventeen." (435)

    Then the bell rings and Paul the psychologist goes to open the door even after Hannah instinctually warns him not to, and at the same time a wolf breaks in through the window and tries to attack Hannah.

    Only with the help of her psychologist will she be able to find out why she keeps writing notes to herself about death. How many past lives has she had? And why does Hannah keep dying before the age of seventeen in each one of them? How did the birthmark on her face come to be?

    Sarah, I agree with the series having to be really good for wanting to continue, and that Harry Potter was the perfect example of that. I was actually sad that it ended, but for this book, even though we are going through many characters in each book, I don't feel any attachment for any of them. Maybe a few of the nine books in this series should be read, but not all since they're all revolving around the same topic :)

    yeah i agree with the series being too long sometimes. for me it has to be really really good in order for me to want to read the other books in the series. but i do love harry potter because there is so many interesting things for me to check out in the series.

    was alright

    This book was good, I could have done without the Dark Angel story. It did nothing for me, I read it just to get to the next story. The Soulmate was the best part of the book and was thrilled with everything that it brought to the table. I am so far very impressed with this series of books and am now enjoying book 3. I can not wait until the last book is out and I get to find out what happens. I'm very excited! I would have given this book a 5 out of 5 if it didn't contain the Dark Angel story. That part was awful and still to this moment think they could have gone another way with it instead of bringing in an "angel". There were so many different stories that could have been told. Its a good read and would recommend this series to anyone wanting to continue there vampire reads. I enjoyed it and I think you will too :)!
