There are chunks of the book missing from this recording, Pages and pages just not read. Just because a book targets a Young Adult audience doesn't justify it being poorly written. Especially when the books young readers imbibe can have such a lasting impact on their view of the world. Vampires, werewolves and supernatural creatures are hot right now.
My daughter is asking to read them. I bought several YA books in this genre to preview before adding them to my bookshelf. This book will not be staying in my house. My expectations coming into this book were modest.
I anticipated a kind of sex-sanitized Harlequin Romance with blood suckers and magical creatures. I enjoyed watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel with Daughter 1 in all of its badly-acted, campy awfulness because many episodes touched upon a social issue that was relevant to my kid.
Read or watch what your kids are reading and all of a sudden that year difference in your ages disappears and you are speaking the same language. The plot was thin. The writing bad. The whole thing reminded me of this Mary Sue book I co-wrote with a friend in the 9th grade in a loose-leaf notebook. I will keep reading This book, however, is going into the 'donate' bin as soon as I hit 'save' on this review. Culminations on lots of things and some things begun.
I just read the first eight books in order in about a week, and I'm ready for the next one. I am a bit curious about what role Erik will play, and I don't think we can count Kalona out any more than we can count Neferet out. It seemed to be very slow with not a lot happening. I almost gave up on this book. There were also some things that made me angry and I spent a lot of the time rolling my eyes at the characters.
In the end, I will probably still buy the next book, Destined, and keep going with this series until the end. I just hope it gets better. Finally everything turn back at the beginning, there are the goods and the evils, Neferet against Zoey, still waiting for something new I seriously love this series and the latest did not disappoint.
I'm loving and hating the cliffhanger at the end. I will say that I was surprised by a lot of the book, more surprised than I've been in a long time when it comes to a plotline. I can't! I Just can't!! Yes I know she is a fictional character bla bla, but I hate her that much, she just learned that her friend died who spent ages preparing a party for her, and what does she do? No not mourn for him, not go and do witchy prayer for him I used to like this series, but now, I can't stand it I even shelved it to it's shelf Zero Star if I only could!
Neferet returns to the House of Night and tries to convince everyone that she is what is best for the school. So it is a fight again between Neferet and Zoey. I am really tired of the series books that turn into twice the number of books they should be. I am ready for this series to end. I am tired of the attempt to be cool with pop culture references and even more so the attempt to mix Vampire, Biblical and ancient Native American traditions and now we have added Fey to the mix.
So another series that I will not be tempted to buy the next book and I will not be reading to the end. I'll start out with the positives -Okay, I can only think of one. Such a great concept for a series of books.
Bottom line - Zoey is a regular teenager girl who is going to high school when she is "Marked. She's shunned by all and eventually reports to "The House of Night," a school for others who are beginning the change but not before she drives to see her grandmother, a Native American Zoey is part and experiences a spiritual experience with the goddess, Nyx, goddess of the moon.
Zoey is destined to be a great leader. Zoey arrives at the school which is very big into practicing Wicca.
The high priestess, Neferet is stunningly beautiful but seems to be evil. Yada, yada, she really is evil, Zoey steps up, Zoey and her friends develop powers and affinities for the elements, have weird experiences, etc. Fantastic content for young adult audience. Then it goes downhill. This book starts with Neferet having sex with some random warrior. He's not the one she wants so she kicks him out. But at least he's beautiful. She goes to the dungeon where she is keeping Kalona, an immortal, who used to be the Guardian of the goddess Nyx and who just failed to kill Zoey.
Now he's a slave including sex to Neferet. Next scene: Zoey is on the island of Skye, recuperating from Book 7 with her guardian, Stark. They have sex in a grove and Zoey decides to stay on Skye forever. By the way, Stark is beautiful. Interruption: Mothers, Are you feeling how appropriate this book is for young adults? But, wait. There's more. Neferet has a debt to pay "darkness," the evil tendrils she commands to harm, maim or kill those she commands.
She chooses to kill very sweet, very purple, very gay Jack, Damien's lover. And, oh, the stereotype is all over this one. Jack and Damien are completely about rainbows, puppy dogs, interior design, and painting their love for all the world to see.
Did I mention these characters are sixteen? Neferet makes her appearance at the council and - Surprise! All the adults are just too darn stupid to realize Neferet is evil. Because, as a rule, grown-ups just don't get it and really are not people to trust. Meanwhile, our stereotypical southern, Stevie Rae is talkin' all southern for us and lamenting about her love, the Raven Mocker Rephaim.
Rephaim is a great big bird, beak and all. But she loves him. It's important to point out how Rephaim was conceived. Kalona, his father, raped his mother and she died in childbirth. Continuing with socially unacceptable sexual practices, Kalona, Rephaim's father, discovers that he has a connection to Stark, Zoey's sex toy.
He can travel into Stark's mind. She's 17 years old! Much to my better judgment, I did finish this book which gave me one more sexual anomaly. Neferet "gives herself completely" to the white bull.
That's right, folks, beastiality. Let's go over that list one more time Casual sex even though they really LOVE each other 2. Homosexuality and stereotyping of gay boys. Statutory rape5. Almost insignificant is the book jacket that, if I had seen the inside of it, would have been a good indicator.
Turn it inside out and you get a full poster of a teenage boy, well defined muscles, low slung jeans looking morose. With four more books in the series to be written, I implore the authors to PLEASE develop a social conscience and 1 write better characters 2 stop insulting the reader with such garbage and stereotypes and 3 take writing workshops.
I know P. Cast has earned prestigious awards but the characters lack depth, the story is not well developed, description of surroundings and action scenes lackluster or are absent, and the dialogue loses the genuineness by including the Scottish accent, Southern accent, and African American accent. Give the reader some credit in allowing us to create the accents in our heads. We know how to do that or sometimes we choose to concentrate more on content rather than worry about how something is said.
While I was reading this book I couldn't stop thinking about other things. I don't know if I'm getting sick of this series or if this book just wasn't as good as some of the others. I didn't get pulled in like I have before with these books and I didn't find it at all interesting until the last few chapters. It did have it's good moments, but like I said, they were near the end and by that point it was a little late. I understand now why some people like PC Cast and her writing.
But I can't stand these books. I would gladly use them to heat my house in a jolly fire if I wasn't so against book burning. Cast Submitted by: Jane Kivik. Read Online Download.
