Publisher Description
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. Armed with a wooden stake, martial arts, and the will to resist a vampire’s mind control, Rachel struggles to avenge her mother’s death in The Chosen. Then she meets Quinn, her soulmate, who is part of the world she has vowed to destroy.

The Chosen Listener Reviews
-
" Night World is fantastic with short stories and leaving you wishing they were full blown Novels. "
— Nikki, 2/18/2014 -
" I really enjoyed 2 of the three stories in this book. The first one is one of those that you know whats going to happen and it makes it hard to read the rest. But I got through it and the others were good! "
— Mercy, 2/15/2014 -
" Dark Angel is the worst book among all the Night World books. It was really boring in the first two-thirds part of the book. The Chosen and Soulmate were ten times better. It was in Soulmate when I really tried to blink away tears. And I don't cry that easily. "
— Rosetti, 2/14/2014 -
" Another fantastic addtion to the stories. I could not put it down for a minute! new characters new situations but all for the same reason. AWESOME! "

— Diamond, 2/7/2014 -
" Books 4-6 in the series. They start to get a bit repeptitive as far as the theme goes (various Night World people/creatures finding their soulmates) but as enjoyable and quick summer reading goes, they remain excellent. "
— Rosetapestry, 2/1/2014 -
" I kinda read these out of order, I read the first set and then the third. "
— Mareena, 1/27/2014 -
" I love this book as well. My favorite story in this book would have to be Quinn and Rasheal, they just complete each other... "
— Ariel, 1/19/2014 -

" Getting repetative "
— Adrita, 1/6/2014 -
" I liked the first book "Dark Angel". The second book "The Chosen" was hard to finish. I did not finish The third book "Soulmate". I read the first 2 chapters and I really did not want to read any more of it. It didn't grab me I guess. "
— Kristi, 12/19/2013 -
" Three easy teen paranormal reads that was some nice and easy brain candy. I don't have too much to say about the books; each story was better than the one before it, but I'll most likely forget them in a week, possibly two. "

" I love this series so much that the day bought the first book i went right back to the book store which was 45 minutes away! and bought the other two books, now i'm only waiting for the fourth one to come but i am running out of patience. I have been waithing so long. "
— Graciela, 12/6/2013 -
" When reading Soulmate, I could not remember, for the life of me, which story had mentioned the characters Thierry and Maya. It kills me to read the whole story not being able to recall this fact. "
— Sandi, 11/11/2013 -

" I liked this one more than the first. I thought that the stories got better and better I read them, and I liked that some of the characters from previous stories made cameos. "
— Rae, 10/10/2012 -
" I've heard some people say that this is their favorite of the 3 Night World volumes (containing stories 4-6), but it was always my least favorite. Still enjoyable, though. "

" 'Every book series usually has a black dawn' that is now a used phrase when a series has a right stinker in it. And this was just so bad. "
— Dr, 2/1/2011 -
" This is where we start learning about the even deeper Night World: those secret cities and towns that no normal humans know of. <br/><br/>Otherwise, the plot is kind of boring, although since it is NW I love it. "
— ?Xeni?, 10/8/2010 -
" didn't actually read...listened to the audiobook. it was good once I got past the narrators voice. "
— Deb, 8/25/2010 -
" Omg my second fav lj is simply a genius in my mind but I do find that her books kind of all have the same story line to them o well she rocks my socks lol "
— Animefreak44, 8/17/2010 -
" Yet another cool perspective in the Night World series. So far it's all building up (and in some cases breaking down) to the final book. "
— Michelle, 7/27/2010 -
" I think this one was my favorite of the series 2 more left... "
— Ashalyn, 7/18/2010 -
" most of this book was boring. the romance between human maggie and vampire/blue fire guy delos was the best part but there wasn't enough of it :( . it was too much slaves and escaping and planning. etc. prob least fav of all these night world books, and i love night world. "
— Amanda, 1/27/2010 -
" I simplily loved the book. Aradia has to be one of my favorite witches, even if she is barely mention in other stories. The maiden of the witches. <br/>And Maggie showed Delos the love, he never knew while growing up. "
