Product Description
Vampires, werewolves, witches, shapeshifters -- they live among us without our knowledge. Night World is their secret society, a secret society with very strict rules. And falling in love breaks all the laws of the Night World. The apocalypse is drawing near. But four Wild Powers can save the world from the impending doom. Circle Daybreak, an underground organization with both Night World and human members, is searching for the four who can stop the darkness. A vampire hunter -- who is half vampire -- stalks her own kind to protect humans in Huntress. In Black Dawn, Maggie stumbles upon an old Night World kingdom where the ruling vampire prince is both an enemy and an ally. And Circle Daybreak hires Keller, a shapeshifting panther, to guard a new Wild Power in Witchlight. But when Keller falls in love with the Wild Power's soulmate, her love could destroy everything....

 Very Disappointing! May 29, 2010
R. Perdue (Lithia Springs, GA USA)

Unfortunately, I bought all three Night World books thinking they sounded "interesting". Don't waste your money - I can't get through the 1st 200 pages of the 1st book. I've given up on this series. I'm easily entertained so when it doesn't grab my attention and interest, it is totally lame.
 another fun read May 2, 2010
Kate Maen (Ocala, Fl)
The third in an enchanting series. It is a quick read fun, light and crazy.I enjoy her characters and the improbable situations they find themselves in.
Supposedly these books are directed a the teen group but i am 65 and thoroughly enjoyed them.
Love this book and this series....I'm hooked May 1, 2010
Julia L. Breeden (Belleville, Illinois United States)
If you like L.J. Smith's books then you will love this one. You can read this even if you have not read the others in the series and still get all the story--I actually read this one first, then the 2nd one and then the first because of the availability at my local library (saw this one and got it because I loved the Vampire Dairies) and then ordered 1 and 2 off Amazon and #2 came first so I read it first....it meant that I knew some things that were going to happen when I read #1 but you could still read and love all three on their own.
Can't wait for the conclusion of the Night World Series...I'm definitely hooked :)
Speedy Shipment April 14, 2010

My order came in quickly and just as described. I enjoy many hours of reading both books and plan to order a few more of the series.
Nightworld Favorites April 9, 2010
Emily L. Powell (Nashville, TN USA)
These three books are some of my favorites in the Nightworld series. I first fell in love with the Nightworld when I was around 10, with Daughters of Darkness. Now I'm 25, and I can honestly say these books feel like dear old friends whenever I open them up.
LJ Smith makes it a joy to become her characters. I found it easy to seamlessly relate to Jez Redfern's double life, her ferocity, and how she strives to redeem herself for her earlier life. Maggie's strength and compassion won me over immediately--as well as her dogged determination to do what was right. Keller has always been one of my favorite characters because she's a fighter in spite of past trauma.
Smith writes memorable, strong female characters. For this, I will venture to draw the contrast between the excellent portrayal of her female protagonists with Stephenie Meyer's subservient and vain characters, who at best (Alice) manage to be three-dimensional and independent, but at worst (Rosalie) are shown to be completely one-sided and self-obsessed. Bella is somewhere in between, with a side of being perpetually incomplete without a man present. Smith's characters not only thrive on their own, but they are intelligent and resourceful role models that I still draw on even as an adult. As a young girl, reading the stories of the Nightworld were inspiring to me--they are capable, self-sufficient, and independent. Smith showed me that women can be fighters, protectors, and heroes in their own right.
In Huntress, we are taken on the journey of a reformed half-vampire, Jez Redfern, who discovered that as the leader of her old gang, she was murdering her own people. She survives on human food and lives with her aunt and uncle, tracking down the darker Night People by night and walking a fine line between adolescent rebellion and her family discovering her secrets. In this story, Smith introduces the millennial prophecies about the Wild Powers and continues her exploration of the soulmate principle as well as introducing another Old Soul.
Black Dawn takes us to the most secret enclave in the Nightworld with Maggie Neely, a girl determined to discover the truth about her brother's mysterious disappearance and his girlfriend's lies. The story further addresses the Nightworld slave trade, as well as giving more insight into the Redfern lineage as well as the prophecies about the Wild Powers. There are many cameo appearances by earlier characters and references to earlier stories that bring to light some fascinating plot thickeners for the broader arc of the millennium.
In the final installment, Witchlight, we follow a shapeshifter panther named Keller in her mission to protect the third Wild Power and Witch Child from a newly reawakened and dangerous evil. Smith shows us another side of Nightworld witch powers, as well as gives us the first real glimpse into the world of the shapeshifters. While the book stands alone, it also builds to the final forthcoming culmination of the Nightworld series.
I wholeheartedly recommend this omnibus edition of Nightworld 6-9. I've been waiting about 12 years for Strange Fate, and I cannot wait to finally get my paws on it. :) Her stories are well-written and engrossing. If you haven't already, get your hands on the first two omnibus editions.
