Book Lover's Review

This is the third in the series which follows, Zoey, Erik, Erin, Shaunee, Damien and Jack as they are adapting to their time at House of Night.  Zoey spends so much time keeping things from her friends, for fear of their safety and acceptance.  Erik has a feeling something is up but she keeps reassuring him that is not the case.  Zoey also finds common ground with Aphrodite, the girl she had de-throwned in the first book Marked.  Who knows Zoey is making mistakes but also knows what it is like to have things you can't tell everyone.  Someone is killing the adult vampyre's.  Neferet has decide to launch an attack against the humans.  

Meanwhile Zoey become subject to a nasty affair and imprinting that backfires on her.  What she thinks is love is anything but.  Crushed and hurt she finds herself with two allies Aphrodite and Stevie Rae.  Everyone else has abandoned her due to her choices.

I enjoyed this book, and it felt more real.  I really felt bad for Zoey in certain parts of this story.  Like they were my friends mad at me.  It was really emotional this story.  Definitely  a great story and series.  I think Kristin adds a touch too it by being younger author.  To allow the teen angst to be so real, and so painful.  I rate this 5 cupss as the series goes on I'm more and more hooked and wondering when the bad guy will get theirs.  Great job Girls keep it up!  You never cease to amaze me.

What happens when you are marked and now that you can't live a normal life?  Well Zoey knows that her only rescue of being marked is to get to the house of night.  Of course that is easier said then done.  As she goes home and her stepfather prepares to have religion shoved down her throat to some how save her.  So she runs to her Grandmother who knows what Zoey needs.  She takes her to the House of Night.  Where Zoey will get guidance, loving friends, and the education she needs while she waits to see if her body will accept the change or not.

I really liked this book as it went beyond the typical vampire book, which doesn't deal much with the change that happens when one gets marked, or in some stories bitten.  I like how she had to overcome some obstacles.  If it was too easy for her to fit in then what kind of story would it be?

There really wasn't much I didn't enjoy about the book you had your bully, and your hero, and of course there is always a cute boy to attract the heroine.  I especially like Zoey's mentor.  There are times she sounds like a mentor that a lot of people wouldn't mind calling mom.

I think P.C. Cast hit on something and I think what makes the series extra special is that she wrote it with her daughter Kristin Cast, which must be such a great thing.  Cause many years from now they will be able to sit back and recall when they wrote a series that caught an audience.

I give this 5 cups.  It's great and even adults can read it and can recall identifying with atlas one character if not more.  I can't wait to start Betrayed.
