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 The 6th Night World Book - Soulmates - My opinion., August 5, 2003

By 

Aimee (South East England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Soulmate (Night World, Book 6) (Paperback)

It is my opinion that Hannah and Thierry are basically the poster children for the soulmate principle (hence the title). When you read the book, you will understand why.

Hannah is a normal girl with a normal life and normal friends. She aspires to be a palaeontologist and will be quite content with her life if she dies with nothing but the knowledge that she has discovered the nest of a duckbill platypus.

Then her ENTIRE world is turned upside down when she begins to find notes in places around that only she could put them. Notes in her own handwriting, warning her of a danger, a danger that was coming. Dead Before Seventeen...

She goes to a psychiatrist, who is supposed to help, but he unlocks a Pandora's box of memories when he suggests the idea of hypnotism, and past regression. Hannah is an old soul, someone who has been reincarnated time and again, ever since people lived in caves. A stranger tore her life apart, brutally murdering her tribe out of a madness born of torture and self-denial...until, he finds his soulmate, the one who he is destined to be with, in the eyes of a dying girl.

The stranger's name is Theorn, and he is a witch...or, he was, before he was made into the second vampire to ever cross the face of the earth...full of self hatred, he runs away from his tribe, but cannot contain his hunger for blood for long. He attacks a small human girl, and in return, her tribe torture him. Only one person dares to try to help him. A human girl by the name of Hana.

Unfortunately Theorn goes insane and he regains his mind to late. Almost all of the tribe are dead, including the one person who tried to help him. Stricken with remorse, he realises that this girl, who he has just killed, is the person who is meant to love for evermore. But the Hana is not dead yet. She forgives him, and extracts a promise from him. A promise that he will never kill again.
Now the stranger is back. He has kept his promise, and searched for Hannah throughout the years, trying to make amends, waiting for her to be reborn. Now he is Thierry, the Lord of the Night World -- and nothing in heaven or hell will keep him from his soulmate again. However, Thierry's maker, Maya, the most powerful vampire in the entire world is obsessed with him, and she hates Hannah with a vengeance. She will stop at nothing to destroy her...
So, it Hannah's destiny is death, can even Thierry's love protect her?

5.0 out of 5 stars An exciting, thrilling book., January 6, 2000

By 

Rebecca Herman (USA) - See all my reviews
(HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Soulmate (Night World, Book 6) (Paperback)

This was the first Night World book I read, and it got me hooked. Hanna was a young girl in a prehistoric clan. She was killed by a vampire, Thierry, who didn't realize she was his one true love - his soulmate - until it was too late. Desperate, he asked a witch for help. Now, thousands of years later, 16-year-old Hannah Snow learns she is the latest reincarnation of Hanna. But Thierry's mortal enemy - the one who made him a vampire so long ago - wants to kill Hannah, and it may be that not even a powerful vampire's love can save her. She may need to save herself. This was an exciting, thrilling book that I really enjoyed and highly reccomend to teen horror fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars The night world series was never so addictive!, October 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Soulmate (Night World, Book 6) (Paperback)

The best book I have ever read! The story line is so excellent. The way it goes into the back ground of Thierry and Maya is excellent and "Old souls" the idea is very fasinating and the whole book is so interesting and captivating. L.J.Smith is a very talented writer and her books are so great. "The Night World.... Love was never so scary!"
