Soulmate

By: L. J. Smith

Narrated by: Kate Rudd

Length: 6 hrs and 7 mins

Publisher's Summary

The series takes place in a world similar to our own but one where vampires, witches, werewolves and shape-shifters live among humans without their knowledge. These supernatural races make up a secret society known as the Night World, which enforces two fundamental laws to prevent discovery: 1) Never allow humans to gain knowledge of the Night World's existence and, 2) Never fall in love with one of them.

Hannah Snow's life was so together. Friends, terrific grades, dreams of a career in paleontology. Everything was perfect...until the notes started appearing. Notes in her own handwriting, warning her of the danger that was coming. Dead Before Seventeen.

The psychiatrist was supposed to help. But what came out of the age regressions were memories of another time, another life. And of a stranger who tore her world apart...a vampire who killed a village in his rage. Until, in the eyes of a dying human girl, he recognized his soulmate.

Now the stranger is back. He has searched for Hannah throughout the years, trying to make amends, waiting for her to be born. Now he is Thierry, the Lord of the Night World -- and nothing in heaven or hell will keep him from his soulmate again. But if her destiny is death, can even Theirry's love protect her?

Spend some more time in Night World.

Return of the vampires

Would you try another book from L. J. Smith and/or Kate Rudd?

Yes. I love LJ Smith and Kate Rudd did a very good job in the narration.

If you’ve listened to books by L. J. Smith before, how does this one compare?

This book is very different. This is the grand love story of the Night World series. Thierry and Hannah have loved each other through all of Hannah's life times but she never makes it past 17. Maya, the first, oldest and most powerful vampire, wants Thierry for herself but Hannah is always there to keep him from her. So she tries to destroy Hannah's soul so she can never return!

Did Kate Rudd do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Kate Rudd did a very good job, I just felt this book was supposed to be more romantic and heartfelt and it just wasn't in that realm for me in the narration.

Do you think Soulmate needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes! I just don't think it'll happen.

Any additional comments?

I learned that the last book of the Night World Series "Strange Fate" has been lost. LJ smith has written it but for some reason or another it has not been published. To my understanding this has been the case for close to 10 years. I am sad to say that at this point, you will be enjoying the Night World stories and characters without the ultimate closure a reader, a customer or a fan would expect.

Unhappy with no ending...

It wouldn't let me finish the end of the book. And every time I tried to finish it it will tag the book as finished. Grrrr

love the book

Good story. The narrator did a good job as well. i know the series sells as 3 stories per book and wish we could buy them loke that for the price we pay per book. Too expensive.
