Summary: I can't believe she wrote this!
Review: LJS's other books are great, but this one was so boring! There was absolutely nothing dangerous about Gillian and David being in love, and that's the whole point of this series! Also, it's kind of unlikely that someone could just cut her hair and wear makeup and then suddenly be popular. I didn't like Gillian at all. She's superficial, not to mention being Little Miss Weakling. David was an idiot because he fell for her as soon as he saw her with short hair and makeup. Let's get realistic! He cheated on the SATs and Gillian still wants to support him. Plus, he's BORING! LJS's other books are all 5 stars in my opinion, but I hated this one.

Summary: Definitely not her best.
Review: Okay, this was the first Night World book that I read, and it seemed pretty good. But compared to LJS's other books, this is pathetic. I don't know, most of her books are great, but really! Gillian is a weak character who is shallow enough to think that popularity is all that matters. David is boring and predictable, and I think Angel (or Gary) would have been much better for her. I wouldn't go for David because he acts all protective and stupid. Also, it makes the whole soulmate thing boring and not dangerous because the lost witch (Gillian) doesn't even know she is a witch at first. I think that LJS's other books are a lot better. ~Ondine

Summary: Gillion Lennox discovers her guardian angel is not an angel
Review: One winter day, Gillion Lennox dies and is saved by an angel. Then he becomes a guardian that only Gillion can see. She does not know his real name, but always just calls him "Angel." He tells Gillion how to be popular and Gillion, once shy, becomes a sensation at school. Gillion's secret love, David Blackburn, becomes her boyfriend. Then, Angel makes strange commands and tries to draw her into the Night World, a secret society of evil creatures (such as vampires). Then, he tells Gillion that he is "the one" for her.
Now, Gillion must discover the truth: who is Angel

Summary: Ths was not quite what I had expected.
Review: This book had nothing to do with the Nigt World. I was disapointed that it didn't have anything about soalmates or any Night World related subjects. I do not know why Smith would actually put it in the series. This was the only book in the series that actually got boring. If you want cool excitement and romance read Black Dawn or Secreat Vampire!

Summary: don't really know
Review: This book is my least favorite of all tjhe N.W. books. It has almost nothing to do with the night world. Very disapointing. I think that David is really stupid and Gillian should be soulmates with Angel. Now that would've been cool.

Summary: Underrated
Review: This book is the ultimate revenge story. Sure Gillian is superficial but shes had a rough life and deserves to have her chance to shine in the spotlight. And all those readers who do not feel it fit in with the Night World must not have been very observant cuz her place in the Night World was hinted at quite a lot. And she does go to a witches store and she also trys to get in the black iris club once...besides it would be to formulaic if each book was wrapped tightly inside the Night World...each books show different levels of impact the Night World has...plus like all the nightworld books...this deals with a certain kinda topic...Secret Vampire was a girl who was dying and needed to be changed to live...soulmate covered reicarnation and this book delt with a near life experience. Its not the best of the series but its high up there on my list at least.

Summary: Everlasting Love--what else?
Review: This book was not the best. It was boring and the characters were underdeveloped. I liked the idea that Gillian WASN'T gorgeous, rich, and plain perfect, but in a snap she became the typical LJ Smith character. I love the idea of soulmates and everything, but I think these kids find their soulmates too easily, and how come everyone in LJ Smith books have to be SO perfect? Maybe if they were not so gorgeous--really how many gorgeous people are there in the world who are "perfect" on top of that? If you want to read LJ Smith, read the trilogies or even the other Night World books because this book reads like LJ Smith was getting desperate for a "new" idea.

Summary: Or maybe just three and a half
Review: This book, I'd have to say, first off is not exactly a bad book. The idea of it from the beginning, though, is more of a plot that younger readers might be interested in. I did not find Gillian wimpy, however I was offended a bit by her attutude that the only way to be happy was to be popular, and I doubt in real life, simply having an angel telling you how to act would make her popular. I would think it would more of make her seem like a wannabe. She's a bit childish and I think Smith made her that way on purpose. I could relate to her in the fact that I had once felt that way too. I basically left highschool having no friends. I just got sick hanging around the kids that didn't really seem to care if I was around or not, and just decided it'd be better to be alone than to pretend I had some true friends.The main problem with this book, is that the majority of it is spent with Gillian just becoming popular. It isn't until the very end that things actually start to get interesting. The last scene was definetly good, and the first time I read it, it made the book seem worth it.

Summary: Pretty Awesome!!
Review: This book, was in my opinion, pretty good. Not one of her best, but it was good. I really liked the story, and I really liked the characters. To me, the story had a different meaning, than most people had seen. If you read between the lines, you see that this is what a lot of people hope for. To be popular, to be perfect in every aspect, and to have power. I really liked this book, and reccomend it to anyone who likes Lisa Jane Smith, or anyone who likes books about "Creatures Of The Night" :)
