Review 

I'm a sucker for romance and vampire and forbidden love so this is absolutely great for me. This book contains three story about love at first, they call it "soulmate principle". It sound stupid, I know, but somehow I just love this book. Let me write the review for each story.

Secret Vampires
A story about Poopy, a human girl who found out she has cancer and only a few month to live. Her bestfriend and the one she love, James, has a secret that could save her life. Poppy decide to be a vampire so she could stay alive and most of all, she could be with James forever.

For this story, I admit that I don't really like it. It's classic Twilight and scream Edward and Bella all over. But being vampire is not the happy ending part. Poppy and James break 2 main laws of the Night World, never tell human about Night World and never fall in love with human. The author also intoduce some characters that will be part of the next story.

It's Ash, the womanizer royal vampire who played with  Poppy's innocent and lead her almost to her death. Ash is actually my favorite characters and the reason I love this book.

Daughters of Darkness
Like I said before, the author introduce Ash as the villain in first story. And in this story, it's about Ash finding his soulmate, who is a human girl name Marry-Lynnette. In first story, James said to Ash that he hope it'll be hurt when Ash fall in love. It happens in this story.

Ash raised to be the royal vampire who thinks all human is nothing but food, a vermin. He went to find his sisters who runaway from home and meet their friend Marry-Lynnette who turns to be his soulmate. The reason why I like this story and Ash so much is the fact that Mary-Lynnette doesn't turn to a vampire just to be with Ash, and Ash didn't force her to do it, he even wish to be a human.They didn't end up together but promise to be together when Ash get back after he prove to her he can change.

It's the sacrifice at the end that make everything even sweeter.

Spellbinder
It's about two witch, Thea and Blaise Harman, the direct descendant of the most powerful witch and the first vampire. Thea is the good one and Blaise is the trouble maker. Thea found comfort in learning magic and connect with animals. Blaise love to toying with boys in school and make them loose their mind over her.

Thea meet her soulmate who is, predictable, a human when she try to cure him from a snake bites. The elders found out about their relationship at the end but decide to do things differently with the Night World laws. Blaise even help her. Thea have to let go of everything she knew for being with her soulmate. It's not sad though, it's a good ending.

At the end of the book, the author give a little teaser about the next book, enough to make me curious and went to the book store the next day, LOL. I read this book because I love The Vampire Diaries series but after I read it, I just couldn't help to fall in love with it. It's the love, it's the vampire, it's magic, everything about it. You can call it the Twilight effect...

I already bought the second book of this series and just can't wait to read it. I don't wanna go back to the previous book just to remind me of the characters, since all characters seem to be connected with the next story, so will read it as soon as possible.
