From the Publisher

"Call me Angel," he says.

One winter day Gillian Lennow almost dies...and is saved by an angel. His hair is golden. His eyes are as violet as her own. And when Gillian comes back from her near-death experience, he comes with her. An invisible guardian that only Gillian can see, he whispers the secrets of popularity in her ear. Overnight, the once-shy Gillian becomes a sensation. David, the boy she has loved for years, notices her.

But then Angel begins to make bizarre demands. To draw Gillian into a world of risk and dark excitement. At last, she has to face the terrifying question: Who is Angel? What has he brought back from the Other Side? And can she and David find out his secret before it's too late . . . ?

More About the Author

Let's see, I've known that I wanted to be a writer since I was about six, when a teacher praised a horrible poem I'd written. I wrote my first book in high school, finishing it in my first year of college. Then I became a special ed teacher before I was able to become a writer full-time. That's about it!

I believe that you shouldn't take all reviews into account when purchasing a book. Because the reviews for this book was pretty dismal i decided not to buy it, but my sister had other thoughts and gave it to me on my birthday and i have to say thank god!

This book isn't as bad as everyone says. Okay sure, Gillian appears a little superficial at the start but then everyone is superficial, even if it's only a tad. Miss Smith makes the reader relate to Gillian though and as you get to know her you see that she isn't all that superficial, she just wants to fit in like every teenager.

The plot was more four star but the characters were believeable, good and the dialoge and pace was great. Over all it was a four and a half star but you only have four or five so i stepped it up half a star.

I really enjoyed this book and Gillian's story mostly because she's someone I can relate to. Like Gillian I was never popular, and very shy. And in this story, Gillian is given the chance to have the popularity that she's always wanted, the guy she's always wanted, and something almsot magical. I loved this book and reccomend it to anyone who loves the Night World Series.

This review is from: DARK ANGEL NIGHT WORLD 4 (Paperback)

I would just like to say that that 'Dark Angel' is one of the best Night World books! I am fed up of people thinking it's boring because it isn't! So what if Gillian is not a super heroine like the ones in the other Night World books? It makes a nice change. Everyone says that it's stupid she wants to be popular but wouldn't you(unless you already are)? Everyone seems to hate David as well but I think he's a great guy. He cheated in the SATs but then he was desperate. The other characters in this book are really funny as well. My advice is to go get it! NOW!
