Shadow Souls - L.J Smith It signifies everything I absolutely hate about a book and life in general. Firstly, it is completely unrealistic. And no, I’m not talking about the fact it’s filled with Vampires and Witches. I’m talking about the horrible characters within. Elena is obviously meant to be the role model. She’s pretty and nice which is what most human beings want as qualities. But she doesn’t exist. The idea you’re meant to get is that she’s popular and very nice, but if you delve just that eensy bit deeper, you see that she’s actually a vain bimbo who’s incredibly up herself and cheats on her boyfriend. At least once every chapter she talks about how “Vampires can’t resist her because she’s beautiful. Oh and because she’s got an aura they can’t stay away from.” If she’s not talking about her aura, she’s talking about her hair. Or how she feels in a dress only she can wear because it needs a perfect body to look good. Page 3: “I…don’t think it’s vain to say that I’m beautiful.” Page 24: He took her in, her eyes and her face and her hair floating weightlessly in a cloud of gold around her shoulders. Page 25: “Damon was giving one of those rare genuine smiles he seemed to have only for Elena. Page 368: Lady Ulma called it a ‘goddess dress’, hadn’t she? It was certainly a dress you could only wear if your body was very young and very close to protection. I’ve just picked a few scenes where she talks about how wonderful she is. The story line is completely ridiculous. Elena dies (whoop!). She comes back as a vampire (Oh). She dies as a Vampire (Yippee!). She comes back as a weird angel thingo (Fucking hell). She can’t speak. She evolves into a human with an aura and can summon wings. But of course, she’s so dumb she doesn’t actually know how to use them. I mean, what? You can’t keep killing off you’re character, then deciding “hey! I wanna make a few more bucks, so lets bring the main character back time and time again to make the series longer!” If that’s seriously what it takes to keep your audience interested, then your a shit writer. To sum it up, the characters are awful, the story line is confusing and makes you not care after Elena returns to the living for the THIRD time. It’s physically impossible to find an Elena out there, as there can’t possibly be a person so irritating and stupid. I give this book a 2/10. Only because there’s one character (Bonnie) who you could actually walk past in the street, and they made a T.V series with Ian Somerhalder in it.
