Product Description |
Dark forces are at work at the House of Night and fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird’s adventures at the school take a mysterious turn. Those who appear to be friends are turning out to be enemies. And oddly enough, sworn enemies are also turning into friends. So begins the gripping third installment of this “highly addictive series” (Romantic Times), in which Zoey’s mettle will be tested like never before. Her best friend, Stevie Rae, is undead and struggling to maintain a grip on her humanity. Zoey doesn’t have a clue how to help her, but she does know that anything she and Stevie Rae discover must be kept secret from everyone else at the House of Night, where trust has become a rare commodity. Speaking of rare: Zoey finds herself in the very unexpected and rare position of having three boyfriends. Mix a little bloodlust into the equation and the situation has the potential to spell social disaster. Just when it seems things couldn’t get any tougher, vampyres start turning up dead. Really dead. It looks like the People of Faith, and Zoey’s horrid step-father in particular, are tired of living side-by-side with vampyres. But, as Zoey and her friends so often find out, how things appear rarely reflects the truth… |

Awesome. |

If you like vampire stories, this series rocks. Right on up there with the Twilight Series. Maybe not quite as good, but great reading. Highly recommended. Not just for teenagers. Good reading for older folks, too. |

This series keeps getting better! |

I picked up this series because I have started to like more "paranormal" series vs. reading just stand alone novels and I have to tell you that I wasn't sure if I was liking the series with just book one-up until the middle to end of the book. That was when I realized that it was pretty cool. It took a while to get used to Zoey's (the main character) narrative but by this book (book 3) you feel like you know her and aren't suprised by anything that comes out of her mouth. This book picks up where the 2nd one leaves off: Zoey is the leader of the Dark Daughters and is imprinted with Heath her "ex" human boyfriend, dating Erik Night one of the most handsome and popular students at the House of Night, and is being flirted with by the mysterious and handsome poet Loren, which is a teacher at her school. Suddenly not only does Zoey have to deal with her bloodlust issues and dating 3 guys at once - she has to come to terms with the realization that her best friend - who is now the Undead dead - needs her help or her soul will be lost to darkness forever and that humans are stalking vampires and murdering them - causing the vampires at and students at the House of Night to become uneasy with humans being so close to them. This book was really good (the best of the 3 out so far) and I can't wait for more to come!! |

I didn't like it |
It just feel wrong. The way the Cast write the story with all the typos, annoying. About the 3 guys interested in Zoey, why? She is a Mary Sue and her calling herself a "ho" after three books calling Aprhodite a "ho". She's just so hypocrite. Zoey is a flat Character and this series lost their way.

Please stop describing the past books! |

I really enjoy the idea of these books. I CAN'T STAND, however, the authors' tendency to re-tell the reader all of what happened in the previous books. I mean, who is reading book 3 without having read some of the other books? Do we really have to get the Cherokee translation for daughter again? PLEASE stop treating us like we are total morons with the memory of a two-year-old. The overt sexuality is a bit much for any teens that I teach, and I couldn't safely recommend this to a teen without worrying about a parent freaking out. Definitely not Twilight, even though I find the initial ideas and characters much more intriguing. |

Not for kids |
Let me just start by saying that I have read all the House of Night books, and that I really like this series.
However while searching for a book for my 9 yr old son this book popped up, now while this book is fine for perhaps ages 15, 16 and up defiantly not for the 9 - 12 year range.
Now while I thoroughly enjoyed hot vampire sex I'm sure it's not something you'd want your 9 - 12 yr old reading. |
