[dahalochick]

@lilmizzmental A lot of us have! Unfortunately, L.J. had some family issues and had to step away from writing for a while, but we should get it soon enough!

[Fatkidsaliva]

This was a really great and thorough book review thank you :)

[dahalochick]

@Fatkidsaliva You are very welcome! Thanks for checking it out! =D

[Lillyanahope05]

LJ smith wasnt the one who came out with the vampire diaries crazy. It was anne rice!!!!!!.

[dahalochick]

Anne Rice came out with the Vampire Chronicles. The Vampire Diaries belongs to L.J. Smith.

[dahalochick]

Because this is completely irrelevent to the topic of the video, I am deleting the comment. Trust me, I am very aware that I am overweight. Restating it does nothing.

[YOUMUSTNOTKNO]

LJ smith came out with the vampire diaries in like 1997 i havent read it but as far as originality of the vampire in love with the human Twilight wasnt even a thought in '97 :) love twilight i want to read vampire diaries

[OustcastTV]

I love twilight because of it's originality. But i am still open to other kinds. Give me spoilers so I can know if it is worth buying.

[yall1987]

if you love twilight then you will love books by l.j. smith. it's about the same thing,except l.j. smith wrote it first

[Glenarms]

okay personnaly i think your going way to deep into the story. When you review the book stick to the facts of the book and don't jump ahead...but that's just me.

[eN43TH]

Why do you call it Spellbinder? Isnt it Enchantress? And why is your cover different to my Vol. 1. cover?

[dahalochick]

Enchantress was it's original title, now it's called Spellbinder. As for the difference in covers, I honestly have no clue.

[taylorswiftfanzgirl]

ASH-Mary-Lynnetee

i love ash

[BTVSBlackIris]

It hurt my heart when I read the bind-ups and saw some of the things that were changed for the noughties :( I was in love with these books in primary school.

[dahalochick]

Some of the changes don't make sense to me either, but I hope whatever the reason it works out in their favor!

[dahalochick]

I think that's a good idea, but be prepared, they changed some things between the books and the show.

[AkaneLuvsAnime]

i want to read more about poppy and james.. lol i was bummed im reading the Daughter of Darkness now

[dahalochick]

They should be returning in Strange Fate once it comes out. I think L.J. will be giving us all our couples from the Night World books in the final volume.

[huggercrazy]

I absolutley love that line , when James tells Ash that someday he will care,and it would hurt, it would hurt a lot. Secret vampire is probaly my favorite book, on the series. I have the newest edition. But ash is probably my favorite character

[dahalochick]

I haven't read the Sookie Stackhouse novels. I have seen True Blood though, the first two episodes, and I enjoyed it.

[wolfgirl167]

my fav have be -soulmate and the choosen one .

do you know if ever make night world flim or series ?

[dahalochick]

I don't know of any plans to make a show or movie based on the Night World series, but the Vampire Diaries is getting a TV show that will be airing in September.

[wolfgirl167]

i havent read the vampire diaries yet , but just order them on amazon .

can give me any dialog what the story line on vampire diaries ? please xx

..

when it say on this magazine about the upcoming movie and if there going make it or not ... that my sources (THE EMPIRE ) MAGAZINE

[wolfgirl167]

can i say this without causeing any agrument but night world was written before twilight so ...and stephine meyer did say she copyied bit idea from her fav book ,

but i do like twilight but the night world book and diary of vampire are excellent books too read . i like your review x

[hotcloegirl101]

witch ten books ?

[KkBeAr15]

Twilight is better than Vampire Diaries but i found de Night World series better than de Twilight series. (i kno itz mess ^ & my BFFs who are TWILIGHT-FREAKS were in total shock cuz i luv Twilight.) i guess itz b/c Night World has more blood, action, & romance than Twilight and it doesnt just stick to 1 MAIN character in each book like Twilight does de w/ Bella.

[hotcloegirl101]

true i say night world series are better then twilight

[AlexCullenVampire]

My favorite is The Chosen because Rashel and Quinn have valid reasons for hating each other's race and they keep trying to kill each other but they are still soulmates!

[dahalochick]

The Chosen was the first LJ book I've ever read, and it's still one of my favorites! =D Rashel and Quinn are probably my favorite couple out of them all.

[evercast2]

are u going 2 make more night world reviews?

[dahalochick]

If you check my other YouTube videos, my newest one is a blog about why I haven't updated with any new NW reviews and when they might be coming again. Unfortunately, life catches up to me and I probably won't have time for at least another week or two. Unemployment leaves someone very busy, haha!

[megan604kid]

i was wondering if there is a differance between the original printed copy and the set of three books. is it the same? or did they make a few changes? i read the first 9 books and LOVED them. i definatly recomend this series. i cant wait for the last book.

i also kinda want to re-iterate that these books are not like Twilight but i read them both and despite the differance loved each dearly! if you liked twilight or not, this is a great book!

[dahalochick]

No, there is no difference in what's written between the original copies and the omnibus'.

And you're very much entitled to your opinion on Twilight! And I'm glad to see that someone can like both series' and be mature about it =D

[MyChloePup]

I really got where yo uwere coming from in a lot of the things you said. Great review, very accurate. Loved it. 5/5*

But I do have one question...What is the difference between vlog and blog?

[dahalochick]

Thank you!

A blog is a written journal of sorts. 'Vlog' is short for 'Video Blog', so it's in the form of a video rather than written.

[dmfriend25]

I will, thanks. I just saw the promo for the pilot of the Vampire Diaries, and now I want to read that. Man, I'm going to get a lot of books at my used book store on Firday. lol. :D

[dmfriend25]

Sorry one more question. Should I start with Night World or Vampire Diaries?

[dahalochick]

Don't apologize, I'm more than happy to answer! Night World and Vampire Diaries are very different. Even the vampires are handled slightly differently in both series'. If you're wanting to tune in to the TV pilot, start with Vampire Diaries. I started with the Night World books myself, but it's really your choice.

[dmfriend25]

Thank you, as long as the vampires don't sparkle and drink human blood I'll be happy.  ^_^

[dahalochick]

Well they don't sparkle, and while some of them try and feed on animals and stay away from humans, they basically all wind up feeding on humans at some point. In L.J.'s stories, a vampire can live on animals, but they're much stronger and more satisfied on human blood, and that temptation is always there =D

[dmfriend25]

That's cool. As long as they're kinda like real vampires. Now both of her series are romance right?

[dahalochick]

Yes, she has several book series, all of which have romance involved in some way or another, but some are less reliant storyline-wise on romance. Check out The Forbidden Game trilogy and The Secret Circle trilogy by her, both are incredible!

[dmfriend25]

Would you recommend this book to a guy who loves vampires and werewolves, but didn't really like Twilight? I want to read it, but want to be sure that the vampires aren't like Stephenie Meyer's vampires. Thanks! ^_^

[dahalochick]

Trust me, they are NOTHING like Stephanie Meyer's vampires. You'll like them =D

[dmfriend25]

Thanks, I'll pick them up at a bookstore soon.  Hopefully my friends won't think I'm wierd for buying them. hehe. =D

[ToryMae]

I love vampires whether they sparkle or not.

[evercast2]

there are 10! really? i thought their were 3.

[dahalochick]

Well there are 3 books out right now, but each one of those is 3 books in one, meaning there's really 9. The 10th one isn't finished yet.

[evercast2]

thx.

[evercast2]

I LOVE BOOKS! IT WAS SO FRKN AWESOME! Secret Vampire was my fav story in the book. Poppy and James are so romantic.

[nickjonas4prez1]

There are 10 books? i thought there were only 3! thanks for telling me because i love night world!!!

[dahalochick]

No problem! Just make sure to read them in order, it makes it a lot easier to keep track of what's going on that way.

[dahalochick]

OH, and keep in mind the 10th and final book isn't out yet, she's still working on it, so you'll only find 9, which are separated in the 3 omnibus' you can find in stores now.

[booklover9595]

k thanks.. and did u like twilight series bc i thought that i was badly wrien

[dahalochick]

I haven't read it, but I know much of the storyline and I do not like what i've heard.

[booklover9595]

is it a scarry book or no bc i havent read it

[dahalochick]

Secret Vampire? No, none of L.J.'s books are really scary. They were written for teens so they shouldn't scare you. Some parts made me jump, or say 'Oh, if that happened to me...' but otherwise they aren't that scary..

[PurpleSiege]

I'm in the middle of Spellbinder, but I skipped to Dark Angel... I'm guessing I should continue Spellbinder first ^^; oh, good upload by the way, now i have someone to talk to that also reads this series (or complain to!).

[dahalochick]

I have to admit that as much as I enjoy Thea and Blaise, Spellbinder was not one of my favorites in the Night World series. After Dark Angel is The Chosen, which is one of my favorites.
