Night World, Volume 4: Angel Black - LJ Smith - Editions Michel Lafon - 262 pages
My opinion:
Warning! spoiler
After moyennenment enjoyed the first two volumes in this series that I found too light and not enough depth, I noticed a small improvement with the third volume. So when Elodesigns offered me to lend me one I accepted.
Well I'm pretty disappointed, although I was not expecting something exceptional in view of other volumes and other saga of this writer (Diary of a Vampire).
Enocre once was a story really too light, too teenager writing for my taste.
The heroine, Gillian, despite having narrowly escaped death only interested in one thing: to be popular and become a "star" high school. She let herself be guided by the Angel who helps change his appearance: he told her to cut her hair and the dress is black. And of course
Gillian becomes from that moment the girl noticed most of the school, which runs after all the boys ... she was so transparent that nobody knew ... it all just by cutting her hair and dressed only in black. In short the thing totally superficial rather unlikely and fairly uninteresting.
Again, the basic idea was good: Gillian dies, and meets an angel comes to life accompanied by the angel who eventually turns out not to be so good ... but not LJ Smith did a story flat and uninteresting.
This series will stop here for me then, and this time for good.
