People capabilities may be limited, but our minds is free to roam. One of my most favorite things to do is reading, especially reading nice novel books. I may be a bit influenced by my mother, who loves reading, she's been giving me various books since I'm able to read. Speaking of learning to read, I used to hate learning how to read. I remember when I'm in first grade of elementary school, my mom used to shut me in my room with a book she want's me to read. And if I don't read the book she gave me, she will scold me, really bad. No wonder I hate reading back then.
But, turns out her teaching method (spartan may it be) is effective. I don't know when, but I'm starting to enjoy reading. She give me lots of books of various genre. Some is fairy tale, folklore, encyclopedia, etc. One of the first book my mom gave me is Childcraft Encyclopedia books set which I found to be very interesting.
And so my quest to collect various interesting books begin..
The books that I want to share with you today is the Night World series by L.J. Smith. She is American author of young adult literature, and her books is very interesting. Out of 10 books, only 9 is already printed and published from this series. The last book is still in progress, and I look forward for it to be finally released. The genre of this books is fantasy romance for young adults. This books is about vampire, werewolves, witches, and shapeshifters that live among humans without their knowledge. Each books focused on a different couple (or soulmate in this case), but there's always a red thread that binds every stories together. Let us look for the books summary, shall we?

Prologue:
The Night World.. Love was never so scary.
The Night World isn't a place. It's all around us. It's a secret society of vampires, werewolves, witches, and other creatures of darkness that live among us. They're beautiful and deadly and irresistible to humans. Your high school teacher could be one, and so could your boyfriend.
The Night World laws say it's okay to hunt humans. It's okay to toy with their hearts, it's even okay to kill them. There are only two things you can't do with them.
1. Never let them find out the Night World exists.
2. Never fall in love with one of them.
These are stories about what happens when the rules get broken.
