Description: The good news: Zoey’s friends have her back again and Stevie Rae and the red fledglings aren’t Neferet’s secrets any longer.  The bad news: Ancient evil with the face of an angel has been let loose – that and various other nasties (whose faces aren’t so angelic).  Grandma Redbird is in trouble.  Heath is in trouble.  The House of Night is in trouble.  Okay, let’s face it – Zoey’s whole world is in trouble!  But when the trouble comes from a being who appears to be beauty personified, will the world believe it? Especially when only a teenager and a group of misfits are the only ones who really understand the danger he brings.  Will Zoey have the strength and wisdom to reveal the truth?  Especially when, in the House of Night, the truth is often hard to come by…

I Give This Book 3.5 Stars!

I was hoping this book would be good because the last one in the series was my favorite so far.  But, this one was slightly boring.  It seemed like most of it was spent setting up for things to come.  And I'm getting a little tired of the boy drama.  A lot of the time it just makes me roll my eyes.  I think it would work better if she had a connection with one vampire and maybe Heath as well.  I also have to say that some of the language used is just plain awful.  I'm not talking about foul language, but words used in dialogue.  Maybe I've been out of my teen years to long, but it just doesn't seem natural.  I still really like Aphrodite especially now that she's human.  The ending was interesting, but I will there was more of it.  It seems like a dramatic ending for a story that had no build up.
