Smith, L.J. Night World (Night World 1), 238 pages. Simon, 1996, 2016. $14.
Language: PG-13 (24 swears, 0 ‘f’).
Summer vacation is just starting and Poppy has just found
out that she has terminal cancer.
Despondant, she doesn’t know how to act, until her best friend, James,
offers her a way out – become a vampire like him.
Welcome back to Night World.
Published almost ten years before Twilight was a thing – there are no
sparkly vampires here. Instead, we have
vampires, werewolves, and witches keeping their secrets from the human world –
while some of them would rather use the humans as food and fodder.
I wish I hadn’t just bought the omnibus
editions (3-in-1 books) for the series.
I am glad to see these in hardback – I do find it kind of odd that the
covers are rather dull, though.
Hopefully the students will see their way past that.
