We find out more about the Shadow World, about Julian and experience emotional growth of all characters. This book is everything I expected and more. Only this time they have to find an entrance to the Shadow World to be able to play. Jenny, Dee, Michael and Audrey are playing the final game to save their friends. Seriously, what a comeback after a snoozer the second book was! I found this book less entertaining than "The Hunter." It took almost half of the book for Julian to appear, the game itself was much weaker, we didn't learn anything new about the Shadow World, and there was too little interaction between Jenny and Julian. Jenny has to find the Shadow Man's base in order to free her friends and to be released from the promise she has given Julian in the previous game. Julian is out and lures Jenny into another Game - "Lambs and Monsters," in which her friends are caught one by one by the Snake and the Wolf. Like many other reviewers, I found Julian extremely attractive in a dangerous way. This is a very well written book, characters are very real and relatable. If they lose, Jenny has to stay with Julian forever. To lure Jenny in his world, Julian tricks her and 6 of her friends to play The Game, where all of them have to face their most horrific nightmares. In a few words, this is a story about Jenny, an ordinary good girl, and Julian, a "Dark Prince" who is in love with her. My first available book happened to be The Forbidden Game trilogy. Her books were regarded very highly, so I decided to give one of her series a try. Smith's name on one of the Twilight forums. These were written by Kevin Williamson and/or various ghostwritters. did not write any of the Originals or Stefan's Diaries. After that, a ghostwriter took over the rest of the series. wrote books 1-3 of The Secret Circle series. Smith wrote books 1-7 of The Vampire Diaries series. Her favorite people are her readers, each of whom she cherishes with deep and lasting affection. She doesn't have a favorite TV show, because she doesn't have time to watch TV (and only owns one for playing movies). Her favorite movies are The Seven Samurai and Avatar (analyze that!). Her favorite poets are Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson. Her favorite classical writer is Jane Austen. Her favorite current writer is Terry Pratchett, the author of the Discworld series, for its wild and witty satires on life, death, war, love, assassins, coppers, and Australia. The two countries she loves to visit most are Great Britain, with its historic monuments and amazing country landscapes, and Japan, with its bustling urban life and exquisite mountain scenery. A militant optimist, she is also part of the Velociraptor Sisterhood (a fancy way of saying that she likes to read, write and discuss books with strong female characters), and she has traveled extensively in Europe and the Far East. She also likes to collect things: angels (they remind her of her late mother), tiny boxes from different countries or of fanciful shape, nineteenth century children's literature, and books about quantum physics-especially about the mystery of the dark energy in the universe. Once, while hiking, she saw a snow-white buck which allowed her to follow it nearly half a mile. She loves to visit a friend's little cabin in the Point Reyes National Seashore area, which has lots of trees, lots of animals, lots of beaches to walk on, and lots of places to hike. She lives in the Bay Area of California, with a backyard that is full of flowers, which she adores, especially with many different shades of roses. She has written over two dozen books for children and young adults, and has enjoyed writing every one of them. SMITH, Lisa Jane Smith, is the New York Times #1 Bestselling author of The Vampire Diaries, The Secret Circle, The Forbidden Game, Dark Visions, Wildworld and Night World series. I have a new blog about my Vampire Diaries fanfic.
