Cute re-read of a favorite book from when I was younger
This is a reread for me.
I first read these books so long ago, like years and years ago. Back when twilight was first popular lol
I won’t be re-rating it though, it will stay at the rating it has been since I read it the first time.
It’s crappy but kinda good paranormal YA romance. It’s like a good hallmark movie

MORE? MORE! @ P.S. I love that book!
I own 9 books of Night World so it was just about time I get to read them. I didn't really expect anything, I know L.J.Smith style of writing, I love it but it's rare for it to be mind blowing. Except in Vampire Diaries of course.
While reading the book I actually realized that I have read it a very long time ago. I did not remember much or how the story is gonna end but it felt like deja vu very ofter.
THE WORLD: The everyday surrounding world is just like ours. But there is another world that people do not know about. And it is the Night World. It is full of vampires, witches and werewolves...I assume there are more but so far in book one we are only introduced to them. I always liked L.J. Smith for her ability to write about this type of world. The vampire in this book are of focus but they are not something blah. They are powerful and have advanced senses. They need human blood to survive and I actually very much liked how this need for human blood was explained in the book.
CHARACTERS: Poppy is the main character in this book. I really have an issue with the name but other than that she is rather likable character. She is just cute. Her best friend is James, he is the dark vampire who tries to help Poppy when she gets third stage pancreatic cancer. However, Poppy's twin brother Phil does not trust James. To be honest, the characters in this book are very simple.
LOVE: James is Poppy's best friend. Poppy is in love with James. James does not return Poppy's feeling. At least till she gets cancer. In the end they are soulmates and in love. Very simple.
PLUS: This book had witches. I love witches!
PLUS II: As most L.J.Smith books it was a very easy read. Like a one afternoon book really. Maybe that is why I didn't remember a whole story even I read it in my life before.
MINUS: It was actually a little bit weird how this book was structures. About 80% of this book is about Poppy becoming a vampire. Then in last 50 pages a villain is introduced. In last 20 pages the villain is busted and it all end very happy ending. Just strange story building.

Not a very good book, but a lot of fun.
I figure what better time to read a classic YA paranormal than spooky season. Now this story wasn't anything spectacular - the plot is rushed, the characterization is one dimensional, and the relationships are under-developed, but I just had a fun time read it. It's like a lifetime or hallmark movie - fun and engaging while it lasts, but not really something that will stick with you. And that's okay, because it provided the perfect level of escapism without making me frustrated or angry at anything, so I'm counting this as a win. And the covers are to die for.

I started this book to just get it off my shelf, convinced that I really wouldn't like it. I ended up reading it in a couple of hours and really loving it. I hope the next one is just as good.
