Explanation Toward Books Secret Vampire (Night World #1)
Reviewed by Me for TeensReadToo.com Poppy North is a typical sixteen-year old--she gets through school by being smarter than her teachers; likes to irritate her straight-laced twin brother, Phil; listens to New Age and techno music; has a secret crush on her best friend, James; and wakes up on the first morning of summer vacation before her senior year of high-school with nothing more paramount on her mind than what she can do with an entire summer spent with James. Until the pain in her abdomen, which has steadily been increasing, working its way around to her back, keeping her awake at night, and causing her to lose weight, sends her to the doctor. Who then sends her to the hospital for tests. Where doctors then inform her that she has pancreatic cancer--the kind that will kill you within three weeks to three months. Poppy, of course, isn't ready to die. Watching the reaction of her family--twin brother Phil, her mother, and step-father Cliff--only brings the truth closer to home. Poppy is going to die, there's nothing anyone can do about it, and it's going to be painful. Except there is someone who can do something about it. James Rasmussen, her best friend from El Camino High School, her secret crush, a boy who now tells her something impossible--he's a lamia, a boy who was born a vampire, a member of the Night World, and he can change Poppy into a vampire to avoid certain death. Of course Poppy doesn't believe him at first, but then what choice does she have? There's always been something different about James, and now she knows exactly what the difference is. So she agrees to become a vampire, knowing she'll have to leave her family behind, but knowing it's the only way to avoid certain death. What follows is a fast-moving, interesting story about Poppy's immersion into becoming a vampire, the toll it takes on her brother, Phil, who finds out what they're doing, and the danger it puts James in. Because there are only two rules of the Night World: Never let the humans know it exists, and never fall in love with one of them. James has broken both of those rules. What a great start to the Night World series! Towards the end of the book we meet some other interesting characters, which I'm guessing will play major roles in future books, so I can't wait to get started on the next read.Be Specific About Books Concering Secret Vampire (Night World #1)

Long before Bella met her Edward and the world learned where Forks, Washington was located...THIS was my introduction to paranormal, young adult, romance. I read these books when I was in high school, and re-reading this brought back all the nostalgia I was craving.Also, these special editions of the collection are gorgeous!

There's something incredibly beautiful about L. J. Smith's writing. It's unlike any of the modern YA books I have read--probably because this book was written before I was born--but Smith has this way of captivating you with the simplicity of her narration, interesting though not necessarily unique plot, and well-developed characters you cannot help but want to have more of. Secret Vampire was a short yet sweet story, and I loved the relationship between the characters, and the workings of the
Rating Clarification: 3.5 StarsAs I eagerly await for the next installment of my fave vampire series, I decided to pick up The Night World by L.J. Smith to get my healthy dose of paranorm. I wasnt amazed with the first book in the series, but I cant say that I was disappointed either. The characters in this story are not entirely captivating, but I was interested enough in the storyline and plot to plow through and see where it took me.My favorite character in this book is Phil because I like
I gave up on "Teen Vampire" books back when I still was a teenager... However, this book had been sitting on my shelf for years and I thought I would give it a chance.It was actually really entertaining. It is very 90's, but I found it charming and funny. There is no insta-love, no air-headed heroine getting herself into trouble, and no overly brooding teenagers. There were some concepts I had never heard before. For example, "Lamia" which are vampires who are born and actually age like humans,
