I've decided it's a fact.
I know, I'm gushing. I'll stop.
Well since The Vampire Diaries has been made into a series for TV (do not miss that by the way... even if it's not the same as the books it's an interesting and tweenified version that I still love) Smith has obviously been getting more media attention and... well...
Her books are being re-released with new cover art etc.
One of my personal favourite series (I'll explain why in my eventual review) has been made from 9 (10 including a book that wasn't released in the UK) individual books into 3 (soon to be 4) re-covered books, which contain up to 3 books each.
Tell me these aren't beautiful. Kudos.
Also, I've pre-ordered my copy of "Strange Fate" with the same cover style (I think) so I'm uber-excited as I've not had the chance to read it before.
And I can't wait. I've nicked the (extremely battered) books bought in the early noughties that are worn and dog-eared from over-reading from my parent's house and I'm re-reading them religiously. Careful not to let those pages fall out of Daughters of Darkness, Soulmate, and Huntress. My favourites :D
This isn't so much a review as excited babble, but please join my love of this author by making these re-released books a great success.
Cause they basically MADE my decade. And it looks like this decade won't be any different.
Do you think if I go to America I could get a book signed? *sigh*
MC out.

y are lovely. *sigh*. Incidentally, The last 6 episodes of bleach just arrived.
I loved these books when I read them last year & can't wait for book 10 to come out!!
oh HAVE THEY? =o To read list... growing exponentially!
And Sarah- it's a pretty impressive series isn't it? I love this author so much <3
As much as I enjoyed the Night World books (enjoyed them enough to buy them again when they were rereleased), I still bear some small grudge against the author for bringing out the final book of the series over a decade later than was originally scheduled. I get that life gets in the way of writing sometimes, I really do, but I can't help but imagine the final book as something of a letdown. The entire series was building up to the millenium, and playing with the hype that surrounded it back in the last 90s. Now that it's 2010, that book's going to have to be pretty awesome to make me take back some of the comments I've said about the delay and the fact that the whole thing just fizzled out.
Ria i've not read them but I will be interested to hear what you think when you read hte last one.
Ria, that's totally fair and I was a little (read- preety darn) annoyed when I reached book 9 and couldn't read any further, and I'd all but given up on the series when I heard about the Vampire Diaries being made into a TV series, and then I looked up the Night world online and got the news.
It's going to be really difficult to live up to the wait we've gone through as readers, but I'm blessed with blind faith :P So here's hoping.
Sorry, that was mangacat accidentally on another account...
oops
MC - hahaha, speaking for the whole family now?
