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!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK!, December 31, 2001

This review is from: The Possessed (Dark Visions Volume II) (Paperback)

This book was great book to read. Gabriel is the best character in the story...other than Kaitlyn. I just wish that we could read more from his point of view. And I wish there was a little bit more between Gabriel&Kaitlyn. But all in all it deserved five stars. It had the perfect amount of suspense.

The book was mainly focusing on the five psychic friends (Kaitlyn,Gabriel,Rob,Annna, and Lewis)who are on the run from Mr. Zetes. They are searching for a house that will help them fight the evil that is after them. Only problem is that they dont know where the house is. Meanwhile Mr.Zetes has been sending ghostly figures after them to haunt them in their dreams and trap them. You will be surprised who the ghostly figures are at the end...

While this is going on Gabriel has a hunger inside him that forces him to prey on innocent people to keep himself alive! When Kaitlyn finds this out she decides that she wont let Gabriel go through this alone and refuses to let him turn away from her. And in the process of helping him Gabriel's feelings for her are revealed! And her reaction surprised me a little....

This book was undoubtedly proof that Ms. Smith is the greatest author of all time! And her characters are SO easy to fall in love with! I can almost guarantee that anyone who buys this book wont be dissapointed. I LOVED this book and Im impatiently counting down the days until my order for THE PASSION arrives.
