  <default-description>&lt;div&gt;Dark forces are at work at the House of Night and fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird&amp;#8217;s adventures at the school take a mysterious turn.  Those who appear to be friends are turning out to be enemies.  And oddly enough, sworn enemies are also turning into friends.  So begins the gripping third installment of this &amp;#8220;highly addictive series&amp;#8221; (&lt;i&gt;Romantic Times&lt;/i&gt;), in which Zoey&amp;#8217;s mettle will be tested like never before.  Her best friend, Stevie Rae, is undead and struggling to maintain a grip on her humanity. Zoey doesn&amp;#8217;t have a clue how to help her, but she does know that anything she and Stevie Rae discover must be kept secret from everyone else at the House of Night, where trust has become a rare commodity.  Speaking of rare: Zoey finds herself in the very unexpected and rare position of having &lt;i&gt;three &lt;/i&gt;boyfriends. Mix a little bloodlust into the equation and the situation has the potential to spell social disaster.  Just when it seems things couldn&amp;#8217;t get any tougher, vampyres start turning up dead. Really dead. It looks like the People of Faith, and Zoey&amp;#8217;s horrid step-father in particular, are tired of living side-by-side with vampyres.  But, as Zoey and her friends so often find out, how things appear rarely reflects the truth&amp;#8230;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Okay, I do agree the grammar is horrible, as well as the dialogue, and the way P.C. Cast always repeats things that her regular readers already know. Like when she keeps repeating how &quot;The cats choose the fledgling,&quot; like seriously shut the freak up already! I also have some issues about w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47892777">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Up until this point I've been a bit critical of the House of Night series. I keep calling it a series that has potential but hasn't realized it yet. I admit that I wasn't so sure of these books after reading Marked, but after Betrayed I thought things were starting to move in the right direction.

    <body><![CDATA[OMG! Great! On this book, I didn't seem to find it as badly written as the last one, but that might be because I've read the two sort of recently. <br/><br/>Anyways, I was sort of like, annoyed and pissed at Zoey for several reasons.<br/><br/>One, her boyfriend problem.

It was a mish-mash of good and bad.<br/><br/>The Good:<br/>* I applaud the way the Stevie Rae situation was dealt with.<br/><br/>* I loved Aphrodite's character development and I hope she hasn't left the series.<br/><br/>The Bad:<br/>* Loren, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71214025">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Oh my god, the Casts make Laurell K. Hamilton look like Margaret Atwood.  This was one of the worst books I have ever read.  Zoey has to be one of the least appealing Mary Sues in literature--and if there are any more obnoxious lurking out there, I hope I never crack their covers.<br/><br/>I had t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70981591">more...</a>]]></body>

Anyway, I just had to know if the series would improve, and perhaps grow on me - sadly, it hasn't improved, and it is growing on me...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68637771">more...</a>]]></body>
