What if the hottest guy in the world was hiding a nameless evil, and all he wanted was you?
At the start of this heart-pounding new installment of the bestselling House of Night series, Zoey’s friends have her back again and Stevie Rae and the red fledglings aren’t Neferet’s secrets any longer. But an unexpected danger has emerged. Neferet guards her powerful new consort, Kalona, and no one at the House of Night seems to understand the threat he poses. Kalona looks gorgeous, and he has the House of Night under his spell. A past life holds the key to breaking his rapidly spreading influence, but what if this past life shows Zoey secrets she doesn’t want to hear and truths she can’t face?
On the run and holed up in Tulsa’s Prohibition-era tunnels, Zoey and her gang must discover a way to deal with something that might bring them all down. Meanwhile, Zoey has a few other little problems. The red fledglings have cleaned up well – they’ve even managed to make the dark, creepy tunnels feel more like home – but are they really as friendly as they seem? On the boyfriend front, Zoey has a chance to make things right with super-hot ex-, Erik, but she can’t stop thinking about Stark, the archer who died in her arms after one unforgettable night, and she is driven to try to save him from Neferet’s sinister influence at all costs. Will anyone believe the power evil has to hide among us?
Plot: The plot was fast paced! There was a lot of twists and turns and I even found myself getting in trouble in class because I was reading this book when I wasn't supposed to. And that doesn't happen very often. So nothing wrong with the plot here. :D
Characters: The characters were great accept for one thing.. Zoey. I think Zoey is a good strong character but the boyfriend problems are starting to get annoying. I mean, really, who has three boys at once?! But the other characters were just fine and other than that one little thing, pretty good characters!
Creativity: Again, creativity is awesome! Love the vampyres in the House of Night series and some other pretty cool creatures. The plotline is pretty unique too. I also like how they kind of involve religion into it without effending anyone. AWESOME creativity!
Writing: Writing is okay. Not horrible is anyway, but as I said before, the Casts' writing isn't the best writing I've everseen but its still okay.
Ending: Was really cool. It wasn't a HUGE cliffhanger ending, yet, it wasn't a happily ever after ending either. It was kind of both and I thought that was creative and interesting. So I LOVED the ending
Cover: This might be one of my favorite House of Night covers. Thats because most of the covers are gorgeous, but they don't really go with the plotline. But this cover did. The feather has a HUGE part in the plotline and I liked that. So beautiful cover with a meaning. :D
All in all: amazing 5th book in the House of Night series and I can't wait to get to the next book. So, yea, theres really nothing else to say.
First Sentence: The dream began with the sound of wings.
