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 darkness is closing in and the struggle for light is on., January 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Witchlight Night World 9 (Paperback)

I've read all of the Night World books and I think that this is simply one of the best. I love Keller's no-nonsense attitude and tough exterior, yet she's got a sensitive side too. And Galen...he's really persistent it really snagged my heart everytime he said: "You're the one..." and how it was always so obvious that he was in love with Keller. Iliana seemed like such an airhead, but L.J. Smith really knows how to develope her characters and by the end of the book, I actually liked Iliana.

The poem that was left by Keller's mother really got stuck in my head.

People die...
Beauty fades...
Love changes...
And you will always be alone...
I'm sure lots of people have felt that way sometime or other.

I sure hope that Keller meets up with Jez and Rashel, I mean their all so good at their jobs, and they're such strong fighters. They'd be great together, with Nissa of course and Poppy to add that bit of witch influence. I'm wondering when I get to hear about all the characters from the previous books like Ash and Mary-Lynette, and Kestral and Rowan, and Thea and Blaise. And not to mention all the really hot guys, but when do I get to hear more about witch or 'shifter guys?

I hope the Night World series keeps going on, I could never get sick of the soulmate principle, there should just be more variety of things happening and we should see more of the earlier characters and new ones too of course, to add some spice. I can hardly wait 'til the next book comes out so I can rush to the stores to seek it out.

The Night World has all you could ask for strong willed girls, hot-yet-sometimes-cold-vampire boys and girls, witches with magic, and the wildness and variety of the 'shifters, danger, and......................Love...

In the quietness of the night-
we find a little of ourselves,
and we await the end-
in darkness or light.....

If anyone would like to talk about L.J. Smith books, the Night World, or even vampires (ie. Vampire: the Masquerade). e-mail me...and if you haven't already, you should definately READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Keller, Galen & Iliana and a Dragon, December 16, 1999

By 

Lisa (Dublin Ireland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Witchlight Night World 9 (Paperback)

This is one of the best Night World books on sale at the moment. Keller is a panther. Her latest mission is to try to find and protect the latest wild power who is a lost witch and a Harman at that. Everything is fine till Galen comes and Keller's world is thrown into chaos. Galen is destined to marry Iliana but keller is his soulmate . Just when everything seems to be complicated enough the Dragon comes and all hell breaks loose, literally. This is a really great book and a definate read for all you nightworld lovers! I can't wait for book 10 to come out it is called "Strange Fate" and is out in the U.S in September apparently....I can't wait! Lisa (Dublin, Ireland)

5.0 out of 5 stars FOR ALL WHO AWAIT STRANGE FATE!, November 17, 2002

By 

Christiana Davis (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Witchlight Night World 9 (Paperback)

Ok here goes...
I am a DEDICATED L.J Smith fan so I have been looking all over for the info on Strange Fate the 10th (and supposedly last) Night World book in the series and I have FINALLY come up with the answer. This will probably be a little dissapointing (well actually alot) Strange Fate will not be published until Spring of 2003 and will not be shelves until very early 2004! Please don't kill the messenger just go to nightworld.net and see for yourself!
