Summary: Really good!!
Review: I liked this book so much when I read it, and it's still one of my fave books in the Night World series. When Poppy finds out that she has a cancer that is practically eating away at her, she thinks she has nowhere to turn...until James, her crush and best friend, offers her eternal life with a catch. The only way to destroy the cancer is to become a vampire and be ruled by the bloodlust. She has to choose between death and a life away from her mother and brother, living side-by-side with them, but never getting to see them again. Also, if she chooses to become a vampire, she could die in the process, losing a few precious weeks with her family. I suggest you read this book. You will not be disappointed!! ~Sunn

Summary: Poppy is dying, but can be a vampire.
Review: Poppy North was dying. She was out of hope until her vampire best friend and soulmate, James, tried to save her by asking her to become a vampire and join the Night World, a secret society of monsters.
But if Poppy becomes a vampire, she must live in secrecy from everyone, family members, friends (except James) and Night People. But if Poppy dies she will away from everyone, including James.
Now Poppy must decide: death or vampirism. And she is running out of time

Summary: It was one of the best books L. J. Smith has ever written!
Review: Secret Vampire was one of the best stories written by the Author, it had intrigue, love, and the love of a brother that was never broken no matter what happened to Poppy. It was great, I read it in 8 hours

Summary: This is one of the best books I've read!
Review: This book was the second book I read by L.J. Smith, and I fell in love with it! It combines horror with a slight touch of romance. It is great how Ms. Smith describes the Night World creatures, as people that are basically normal with a slight varitation (in this case, the people have to have blood to live) She doesn't make them sound evil and disgusting, as all other writers have. If anyone wants to talk about her books, or can reccomend a author with a style similar to L.J. Smith's, please e-mail me

Summary: Secret Vampire is GREAT!!!!!!!
Review: Poppy North has been diagnosed with cancer. James, her best friend, offers to make her a vampire so that she will live. Most of the book is dedicated to trying to make Poppy a vampire, this may sound a little boring, but this book is no where near boring.
NOTE: as far as I know Secret Vampire is only the first book in the Night World Series. Will somebody PLEASE tell me if I'm wrong!

Summary: This book is amazing
Review: If you get the chance to read this book do it. I read the entire Night World Series when I was in the 6th grade, 7 years ago, (with the exception of The Chosen because it was out of print so early on) and loved every one of them. A few days ago I saw my copy of this book lying around and thought hhmm...I should read this. I'm 18 years old now and I still loved it as much, if not more, as I did when I was 11. I've decided to read the enitre series all over again, which means I'm rebuying a few of them. Even if you're not really into Vampires you will love it, it has romance and a great story behind it.

Summary: Not your typical vampire book
Review: LJ Smith has been one of my favorite authors since I was in junior high school. Her books are all about the supernatural, but you don't have to be a science-fiction, horror story lover to enjoy them. The Night World is a series about vampires, witches, shapeshifters, and the humans who know about them. However, don't be turned off if this isn't typically your thing. They are more love stories between teenagers who hapen to be supernatural beings than they are books about supernatural beings who happen to fall in love. The characters are easy to relate to because they have the same types of problems that normal teenagers have, fangs and all.
Secret Vampire is one of the best Night World books in the series. James is a vampire whose human best friend, Poppy, is dying of cancer. He has to choose between breaking the laws of his people or letting Poppy die. He also has to face the obstacles of Phil, Poppy's possessive twin brother, Poppy's stubborness, and Ash, James' ruthless vampire cousin.
I would recommend Secret Vampire for any teen girl, because in encompasses a wide variety of genres into one book without going too heavily into any of them.

Summary: great start to a new series
Review: The summer is just beginning when Poppy finds out that she's got cancer and is going to die. No one can help her - or so she thinks. Her best friend, and the guy she's secretly in love with, is a vampire. James is Poppy's soulmate and doesn't want her to die, but he's also a member of the Night World, a secret society of vampires, shape shifters, and witches. That society has two cardinal rules: never let a human find out about the Night World and never fall in love with a human. James has to break both those rules to help Poppy, and if anyone from the Night World finds out, including his own parents, it would mean death for both of them.The cover is awful, I know, but don't let that stop you. The Night World books are, in my opinion, L. J. Smith's best books, and this first one, while not the best in the series, is certainly very good. I'm not sure how I feel about Poppy, since she seems to enjoy the hunt and blood (there's a few times when humans described as a sort of blood-filled fruit - oranges or berries), while at the same time having moments where she's either disgusted by the idea or at least wants to find a better way to do things (hunting animals instead, or something). Mostly, however, she seems to enjoy what she is becoming. Since James doesn't like being a vampire himself, it made me wonder how good a match those two really are anyway. No of that interfered much with my enjoyment of the book, however, and I've liked it enough that I've reread it several times.
