Review

This must be one of my favorite series, since I enjoy so much reading it from the first book. As the first book, this one also contains three story.

Dark Angel
Gillian almost drown, but the out of nowhere being saved by what she thought is her guardian angel. She is the only one who can see and hear him. Angel start out giving useful advise and help her get closer to her crush. But the more she get to know him, the more dangerous he is.

The so-called guardian angel start to make strange request and proven to be dangerous when he almost done a permanent damage to someone she hates. At the end they get along and somehow related to each other. Oh yeah, Gillian is a lost witch too.

The Chosen
This one is about vampire hunter, Rashel. She grew up hating vampire so much. Her mother was killed by one and took her brother away. She grew up to be one of the most feared vampire hunter and she is the best one.

But as you can probably guess, she fell in love with a vampire, Quinn. Some how when they first met, Rashel couldn't bring her self to kill him. They were soulmate of course. It;s interesting to see their relationship develop.

Soulmate
Unlike most of the character who had some kind of trouble in their life, Hannah's lif is perfect. She got everything she needs, great mother, scholarship, friends. The only thing that trouble her is that she thinks she's going insane. As she discover noter that warning her about someone she loved centuries ago.

She turn out to be a reincarnation of Thierry's, the Lord of The Night World, soulmate. Hannah and Thierry were loversat the beginning of the era of The Night World and the original vampire, Maya, wants to ripped her to pieces.

One thing that got me to love this book so much is that the author create each character in unique way. It's different personality for every character and each story contain it's own complex problem. All story has one root, but Smith manage to create something special for each one of it. You'll not gonna be boring with this book.

This book also give some kind of update about The Night World laws. It's great overall. It's different story and setting but everything clicked really well. I can't find the third book, it's unavailable in every bookstore in my town. But I'll definitely will be on a hunt for it.
