Review Summaries

"Thea Harman is a witch who sees humans as somewhat stupid and potentially dangerous creatures, until she meets Eric. There's a connection between the two of them, and she's shocked to discover that they're soulmates. They're meant to be together and nothing can push them apart. Unfortunately, Thea is part of a society know as the Night World, and their laws say that it is forbidden for someone in the Night World to fall in love with a human. Thea's sister, Blaise, wants to save her, but not in a way Thea approves of. Guys can't help but want Blaise, and her plan is to get Eric to fall in love with her and then to kill him. Thea's got to stop her, but she's got other problems to deal with. She's let a murderous ghost loose and has to capture it and send it back before it kills anymore people."
