Summary (supplied from GoodReads): Zoey, High Priestess in training, has managed to settle in at the House of Night and come to terms with the vast powers the Vampyre Goddess Nyx has given her. Just as she finally feels she belongs, the unthinkable happens: human teenagers are being killed, and all evidence points to the House of Night. While danger stalks the humans from Zoey’s old life, she begins to realize that the very powers that make her so unique might also threaten those she loves.     

My Thoughts: Honestly, through out this book I found that Zoey was a very shallow person. I have to admit that I didn’t really notice much character development with the main character. Which was kind of disapointing, but again in regards to the last HON review I’m giving the writer’s the benifit of the doubt considering that there are 12 books in total for the series? So, it may come at a later time?

I actually really adore the nerd-herd, and so far they seem like very good friends to Zoey. But, I don’t really see why she has them as friends when she doesn’t really treat them well. I feel like that from all of the society and school pressure from her elders and peers that she has let the power and influence go to her head, and she in turn is starting to power trip. I find that even though I’m not a very big fan of Erik Night, I find that he doesn’t really deserve the treatment that Zoey gives him. This goes for Heath too.

I like that we were able to see a bit more of Aphroditie’s character development though, and to me it indicates that she’s going to be a very key player through out the series. 

Stevie Rae...even though she hasn’t been shown too much in the book, she’s just one of those characters that I absolutely love! I was devistated though regarding what happened to her. But, keeping that in mind that I had read these books before quite a few years ago, and I do know what happens. So, I know it will all be worth it in the end. 

Honestly though...I can’t really think of what else to comment on regarding this book, so I’ll leave the result below in the verdict.

Verdict: Because I didn’t enjoy this book of the series too much, and there were so many things story element wise that I just didn’t like...I’m going to rate this as a 2.5 out of 5.
