Review/Rating:

4 out of 5



Zoey's life takes a turn for the worse, when her friends turn their backs on her because she lied to them. But not only that, but her best friend, Stevie Rae, is struggling to keep her humanity, and adult vampryes are turning up dead on the House of Night campus. How will she overcome these new problems, especially when her friends turn their backs on her?

Been a couple of months since I have read it, so I’ll try to remember what I was going to say about it. :( Oh, yeah, vampires again, so watch out for spoilers. :D

In the third book of the House of Night, Zoey is faced with more challenges (as usual): Having 3 boyfriends, Stevie Rae losing her humanity, friends are becoming enemies, enemies becoming friends, and adult vampyres turning up dead on campus. Okay, a little bit more high school drama in this book, and there are about the same amount of things that are supernatural. Yay! The high school drama is the only real thing that annoys me in this, but at least they act kind of like real teenagers, unlike another book I know.

After you skip over the high school drama, this book is pretty good, but the book should be a little longer. The author kind of squishes everything in a less than 400 page book, which doesn’t do that much, when it comes to descriptions of events and people. If there were some more description in it (like the first book) AND a little bit less high school drama, I would most likely like this series better. Also, Zoey is kind of annoying in this book. *SIGHS*

Though, this series is good, if you don’t want that much description put into your books --- it had about the average amount put into it, not as much as the first book in the series. Other than the high school drama, this book is great for a quick read. Though, it is kind of turning a little boring with all of the high school drama. ^^ Just a warning, there is a gay character in the book, and they talk about sex, kissing, and things like that a couple of times. Oh, there is also a sex scene, but the act isn't mentioned --- it just leads up to it with heavy kissing and then cuddling after. ^^
