Good Grief, how many boyfriends does one girl need? It's starting to get a little ludicrous.

Maybe I'm just not in my normal-teenage-girl state of mid @ the moement but I did not like this book. Seriously, the writing annoyed me ALOT for the first hundred pages(like, you know how they're always talking about how Zoey never curses, well she cursed a little bit in a beginning and they ALL still acted like it was totally normal for her to be cursing when you know Aphrodite would've been like "whoa") And what was with all the "Damien an Jack" are gay parade in the beginn

Hunted was OK, but I didn't have high hopes since I was disappointed with Untamed. I was very annoyed with the dialogue in the beginning of the book. I know it's a YA book, but it seemed so juvenile to me. Do teenagers really talk this way? IMO, this was a filler book. There was not much going on through most of the story. The ending was as expected, but it was sort of a let-down. I wanted more action, I guess. I know the thing that bothers me the most is all of Zoey's boyfriends. I just wished

Okay, so the House of Night series is seriously one of the most guilty pleasure-ish young adult series I've read. Emphasis on the guilty part.
You know when you go to the airport, and you're waiting at your gate for your flight, and you look over at the little old lady sitting next to you? She might be reading a book, but she's angled it so that you can't quite see what it is. But she seems really into it, and you start to wonder what she's reading. Then maybe something happens an More...

Condensed, edited version taken from my blog.
Not long ago I finished reading the fifth instalment in the Cast's House of Night Series, Hunted.
This is about the point where I give a frustrated sigh. Oh my, is it a frustrated sigh.
First of, there is a story in there somewhere. An interesting story that could potentially make a good novel but it's been swallowed by chaotic, repetitive, stereotypical, shallow muck. I really hope that this novel is only the steppin More...

this book doesn't come out for a couple months, but i will read it when it does. this series is for a younger audience, but i am hooked. the knew spin on "vampyres" is interesting. Not because it is my favorite version, nothing can compare to Anne Rice's Vampires, but because it is definitely new and fresh. i am sure no one has ever put this spin on it before.

To the Casts: I really enjoy this series, but this was a bit much. Too much "boy issue", we get it she always has to deal with multiple attachments. Get back into the actually intriguing mythology you have developed. This story was only about 2 days, best I can tell, and again we are left on the edge. Button it up please!

I found this book from the House of Night series the darkest, but most interesting and capturing of the series so far.
However, it seems that most of the important stuff happens in the last few chapters - where everything goes by really quickly - and the main body of the novel seems less important.
I also like how you can get into the books in this series quite easily without having read the first few. I made the mistake of buying the second book first but only realised it when I went More...

Primera lectura: 3/5
Relectura: 4/5
Recuerdo que cuando leí este libro en inglés, pensé que la historia no podía dar para más, me gustaba la serie, pero empezaba a ser un poco cansada, con Zoey y sus amigos y sus múltiples novios. Precisamente por ello, dejé de leer los demás libros que se han publicado, pensé que darme un respiro de la saga sería lo mejor. Esta vez, puede que el haber tenido abstinencia de Zoey me haya hecho disfrutar mucho las historia, como no recordaba todo, More...

Hunted is the fifth book in the House of Night series and continues from Untamed by only a day or two.
Zoey and her friends are now hiding out in the tunnels with the red fledgelings, a different kind of fledgeling who change into a different kind of vampyre, and one which Zoey doesn't know if she can trust yet. Stevie Rae is badly hurt by an arrow piercing through her chest after being fired by the newly risen red fledgeling, Stark. All the gang is pretty freaked out by what happened More...

This is book 5 in the House of Night teen vampire series, and it advances the story of fledgling vampire Zoey and her friends another few havoc ridden days (I don't want to put any spoilers in here). I really do love this series--this is a far more clever vampire world than the one Stephanie Meyer created in her Twilight Saga. There's more action, more ethics, and overall more intelligence to the story. The thing I hate about series--having to wait another year or more to find out what happe

A bit disappointed I thought that Z would now get past the petty and ridiculous love triangle since the issue with Loren, Erik and Heath but now Erik too willingly forgave and Heath is overly obsessed with her (which is starting to DRIVE me INSANE! He should have learned his stupidity the first painful time around). I mean come on! and now the psycho Stark is added and she doesn't even know the guy... She is a lustful lustful fledging and I hate that. It's so inappropriate. She loves creating dr

I've read through all 5 of these books in a week and debated on if I "liked it" or "really liked it." I DID really enjoy the series, and I wish I could give it a 3.5 overall. Some of the dialogue really annoyed me, and it seems like the authors are just trying too hard to sound young & teenager-ish. Like, with all the "OMGs!" and "totally's!" Ugh- annoying.
And my major complaint (for all the books, but it significantly improved with book 5) is More...

"Hunted" is one of those books I was majorly looking forward to. Unfortunately some of my speculations came true. There were two things that had bothered me from the beginning of the series. 1) the constant summarizing of past events and characters. I don't understand why after four books we need to be reminded of things we already know. These books aren't stand alone so therefore the redundancy became irritating. 2) The constant flip flop of love interests. Zoey is a strong character

Summary : Zoey Redbird, a vampire fledgling, and crew have escaped the House of Night; fleeing from a now evil High Priestess Neferet and her evil consort, Kalona. The problem is that Neferet gaurds the wicked fallen angel with vigilence and no one seems to realize that he and his demon Ravenmocker children are evil. Zoey's involvement with Kalona in a past life may be the key to banishing him or the unraveling of the resistance. On the romance front her reforged relationship with Eric Night (he

A few days into their self-imposed exile, a skirmish with one of Kalona’s henchmen leaves Zoey severely wounded. Knowing that she will die without proper vampyric treatment, the gang has no choice but to return to campus. How will they survive Kalona’s reign of terror, especially since he holds the entire student body and faculty in thrall?

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.

I tried to finish this. I really did. But when the main character of a book annoys you so much you can hardly stand turning the page, something's got to give.
I mean, COME ON. How many guys does Zoey need? It was just getting a bit ridiculous. I was happy when it seemed that Zoey was happily dating Erik (who is pretty irritating anyway, but whatever, it's not my fictional life) in this book. Then Heath pops back up again.

I am fairly certain that this entire book was written on the back of several paper napkins on the bus ride to the publisher's...
More than half the book takes place in the tunnels and seems to consist mostly of filler babble. The most interesting thing that happens in the tunnels resulted from a risk that was very unlikely to have been taken, given the circumstances, so it seemed very convenient and gratuitous.

Love, love, love this series!! They're just written so well in that you feel you get to really know the characters inside out, their good and bad sides. In this book the whole theme gets a lot darker and we see Zoey and her friends living outside th House of Night for the first time. I thought I would hate to see the House of Night go from the book as the backdrop as when this happened in the HP series with Hogwarts I really badly missed it. However in this series I felt that the fledglings new
