Night World #2 (Dark Angel, The Chosen & Soulmate), L.J. Smith 4.5/5 “Intrigued by Twilight’s otherworldly teen romance but creeped out by its adherence to outdated gender roles? Try L.J. Smith’s Night World series instead.  Written years before Edward watched Bella sleep, but only recently reprinted, the nine books of the series feature strong female protagonists who discover unlikely - and often supernatural - soulmates. Smith’s heroines often save their forbidden loves and, i later books, play pivotal roles  in fighting to save the world. Best of all, Smith’s mythology is threaded with deeply feminist elements that challenge our own culture’s Judeo-Christian beliefs: Her powerful witches are a Matriarchal society, Goddess-worshippers who trace their ancestry to the witch, Hellewise, who died so they could be free.” Brian Pietras, “The Bitch List”, Bust Magazine, Fall 2009
