Secret Vampire (Night World #1)
Poppy North is a typical sixteen-year old--she gets through school by being smarter than her teachers; likes to irritate her straight-laced twin brother, Phil; listens to New Age and techno music; has a secret crush on her best friend, James; and wakes up on the first morning of summer vacation before her senior year of high-school with nothing more paramount on her mind than what she can do with an entire summer spent with James.
Until the pain in her abdomen, which has steadily been increasing, working its way around to her back, keeping her awake at night, and causing her to lose weight, sends her to the doctor. Who then sends her to the hospital for tests. Where doctors then inform her that she has pancreatic cancer--the kind that will kill you within three weeks to three months.
Poppy, of course, isn't ready to die. Watching the reaction of her family--twin brother Phil, her mother, and step-father Cliff--only brings the truth closer to home. Poppy is going to die, there's nothing anyone can do about it, and it's going to be painful.
Except there is someone who can do something about it. James Rasmussen, her best friend from El Camino High School, her secret crush, a boy who now tells her something impossible--he's a lamia, a boy who was born a vampire, a member of the Night World, and he can change Poppy into a vampire to avoid certain death.
Of course Poppy doesn't believe him at first, but then what choice does she have? There's always been something different about James, and now she knows exactly what the difference is. So she agrees to become a vampire, knowing she'll have to leave her family behind, but knowing it's the only way to avoid certain death.
What follows is a fast-moving, interesting story about Poppy's immersion into becoming a vampire, the toll it takes on her brother, Phil, who finds out what they're doing, and the danger it puts James in. Because there are only two rules of the Night World: Never let the humans know it exists, and never fall in love with one of them. James has broken both of those rules.
What a great start to the Night World series! Towards the end of the book we meet some other interesting characters, which I'm guessing will play major roles in future books, so I can't wait to get started on the next read.
Buddy Read with Deborah. I didn't enjoy it that much either.actual rating 2.5 stars. This was a fast and entertaining read, but a little too simple and maybe a bit juvenile for me. I may have loved it at 14 though and I think it would be a perfect read for young girls around that age.
I went into this wanting a fun easy read and was instantly sucked in. I have daughters of darkness lined up and ready to go. I could not put this down at all. Im away this week but once im back ill be doing a video review.Poppy is sick and it is not looking good she can change or die. Her best friend can offer her the choice of death death or death which will she choose?
The first of L.J. Smith's Night World series, in which a hidden society of vampires, witches and shape-shifters struggles to keep the knowledge of their existence from the humans around them, Secret Vampire is essentially a supernatural "Romeo and Juliet" tale. It follows the story of sixteen-year-old Poppy North, who discovers that she is dying of cancer, and her best friend James Rasmussen, who (unbeknownst to her) is a vampire and Night World member, with the ability to "save" her.Narrative
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
This was exactly what I was looking for in a Vampire/Supernatural book. Cocky bad boy characters, sweet over protective dreamy vamps, and witchy shenanigans. I absolutely cannot wait to read the rest of this series.
Aw, the teenage angst! Long before Bella met her Edward and the world learned where Forks, Washington was located...THIS was my introduction to paranormal, young adult, romance. I read these books when I was in high school, and re-reading this brought back all the nostalgia I was craving.Also, these special editions of the collection are gorgeous!

As an adult I rated this as a 2 star. The story had potential and the characters are likable. Poppy was well developed and we learned about James as we read the book. Phil, Poppys twin brother acted in many ways that any brother who cared for his sister would act. Phil also did some things a sane person would not if the situations were real. I feel the mother and step-father should have played a bigger role in the story. It was like they were there only because Poppy is a teenager and they HADBuddy Read with Deborah. I didn't enjoy it that much either.actual rating 2.5 stars. This was a fast and entertaining read, but a little too simple and maybe a bit juvenile for me. I may have loved it at 14 though and I think it would be a perfect read for young girls around that age.
