“And when you love someone you don’t always see them realistically.” (

Honestly loved this book as a kid. The angst and forbidden love had me hooked. (

It's kind of nice when you can read a series of 12 books and not be able to tell anyone what part was in what title because the story line just flows that well!

I really wouldn't suggest anyone just buying this book without buying the whole series and starting from the beginning of the story. As a matter of fact I wouldn't suggest buying any of them without buying the first book of the series and starting from there.

This series follows Zoey Redbird, a teenager who finds herself turning into the most powerful Vampyre the world has ever seen. (Yes the spelling of vampyre is how they spell it in these books :) ) Zoey is faced with the important task of saving/protecting the world from the evils that threaten it. The main villain in this series is Neferet, a woman who used to follow the Goddess over all Vampyres and was at one time considered righteous, however she turned evil and started following the voice of someone much darker. Each book tells a part of the story where Zoey and Neferet clash and have to fight either each other or some one who is partnering up with Neferet.

I'll stop there as I don't want to give too much away, but I will certainly add that the book is very entertaining and did a very good job of keeping me wanting to come back for more. Its easy to understand why this series has such a huge following.

Nothing much actually happens in this book, it was all about about getting Zoey back from Nix's realm.

However that what wasn't focusing on Zoey was really good, the character development is much better in this book as it doesnt really have a main character as such.

Stevie Rae gets a chance to tell her story with Rephaim and it is truly gripping. She is a more relatable than Zoey making her a stronger character to read about. Though Rephaim is a a ravenxboy that has killed many Stevie Rae makes the reader see him in a new light and actually shows him as a loyal companion at the same time.

Neferet and Kalona are typically the same, though in this book Kalona begins to turn from her as she tries to control him.

As always Aphrodite and Stark are the main reasons to keep reading this series and though Aphrodite is not exactly a major character, she is by far the most in depth of them all, her voice is fitting for the 21stC unlike much of the other characters, such as Zoey, the twins damian, jack and erik.

I did find the addition of Seoras and his queen a very good addition and couldnt help but smile at the accents.
couldnt help feel that something was missing though...

Fantasy. Young Adult Fiction. Young Adult Literature. HTML:

"My love, speak to me. Tell me everything." Neferet went to Kalona, kneeling before him, stroking the soft, dark wings that unfurled loosely around the immortal.
"What would you have me say?" He didn't meet her eyes.
"Zoey lives." Neferet's voice was flat, cold, lifeless.
"She does."
"Then you owe me the subservience of your immortal soul." She started to walk away from him.
"Where are you going? What will happen next?"
"It is quite simple. I will ensure Zoey is drawn back to Oklahoma. There, on my own terms, I will complete the task you failed."
Exonerated by the Vampyre High Council and returned to her position of High Priestess at Tulsa's House of Night, Neferet has sworn vengeance on Zoey. Dominion over Kalona is only one of the weapons she plans to use against Z. But Zoey has found sanctuary on the Isle of Skye and is being groomed by Queen Sgiach to take over for her there. Being Queen would be cool, wouldn't it? Why should she return to Tulsa? After losing her human consort, Heath, she will never be the same � and her relationship with her super-hot-warrior, Stark, may never be the same either...
And what about Stevie Rae and Rephaim? The Raven Mocker refuses to be used against Stevie Rae, but what choice does he have when no one in the entire world, including Zoey, would be okay with their relationship? Does he betray his father or his heart?
In the pulse-pounding 8th book in the bestselling House of Night series, how far will the bonds of friendship stretch and how strong are the ties that bind one girl's heart?
