Dark Angel by L.J. Smith

3.0

3 stars.

Not quite done with this one yet but I've realized that this is the one Night World book I haven't read yet. All of the others I've read at least once.

6/20/2012 Part A - So far my one major problem with this installment is that it's not until half way through the book that the Night World is mentioned. Since this is a Night World book I have an issue with that. Not much happens in this first half either. It's mostly Gillian, with her guardian angel, Angel, changing her image and becoming a part of the popular crowd. That's all I have right now, but I'll finish my review once I finish the book.

6/20/2012 Part B - Well I finished it and this one was a bit disappointing. There wasn't much of the Night World in this installment. Half of the book was devoted to Gillian changing her image and getting popular. The last half was more interesting but we're kind of left hanging on a couple of things. Gary (Angel), mentioned that Daryl had a secret, but we never find out what it is. There's a story line with Gillian's mother that doesn't get completely resolved. Hopefully these threads will be mentioned/touched in the other books.

Overall this was ok and I'd recommend it if you want to read all of them but this one doesn't really add anything new to the world. If I remember correctly the next one is better.
