P.C. Cast (Goodreads Author),
Kristin Cast
At last, Zoey has what she wanted: the truth is out. Neferet's evil has been exposed, and the High Council is no longer on her side -- but she's far from done wreaking havoc in the vampyre world. First, a mysterious fire ravages the stables. Then, Neferet makes a devastating move that will test them all.

@@@@@@@@@@BEFORE YOU READ THIS REVIEW:
Okay guys, I'm getting alot of hate for this, so here's a warning. THIS IS NOT A POSITIVE REVIEW!!!! And honestly. If your gonna give me BS about it, please answer me first: Do you relate to Zoey? And by that I mean by her actions and thoughts, not "Oh I have the same skirt". Good books, have protagonists that you can relate to. Hunger Games. Katniss. Harry Potter. Harry Potter! Hush,Hush.

For the record, I hate this series like I've hated no other. But I just want to know what happens next... :/
Why must I be so masochistic?
Ah, it's definitely a love-hate kinda thing. Love the plot. Hate everything else.

Sometimes I wonder why I keep reading this book...
I feel so frustrated by the writing sometimes, it just... UGHHHHH.
If I were Zoey and her friends, Neferet would be DEAD. I mean, why doesn't Stark just use his magical ability of not being able to miss a shot to shoot Neferet in the head, and she'd be dead! I mean come on, Stark, if you wanted Zoey to be happy you'd kill Neferet and take her out of her misery. Make her happy! Unless he wants her to be miserable so he can comfort her... Oh Stark y...more

Honestly... I'm not sure I will ever finish this series. I haven't even read Destined yet, and although I feel like I need to finish this series because... well, after eight books you deserve to find out what the fuck happens. If this series will ever end, of course. *sigh*
I don't hate The House of Night series, I don't. I liked the fourth and fifth installment of the series, but before and after that... it's not THAT great. I'm not intrigued to continue, but I feel like I deserve to find out wh...more

The cover...huh.
Oh, how I hate you, Zoey. So, so much. And all the stereotypical bullshit.
But alas, I want to know how this series ends. Even though it's so freaking long for no reason.
Mostly for Rephaim and Stevie Rae. *shrugs* And to see how Neferet dies/defeated/etc. I mean she isn't even that powerful or scary. Oh, well. Let's see what comes now in this installment.

Just to let everyone know so far there are going to be 12 books in this series. Both P.C. Cast and her daughter stated this back in 2009 on the Rachel Ray show when they were there to promote Hunted (interview can be seen on youtube). I personal like the series and can't wait for this one to come out. The only thing that I would have wanted them to do differently is to stop dragging out the fight with Nef. But still I can't wait to see how the books go and how they are going to take down Nef.
This is for those of you who have made mistakes, and who are brave enough to correct them, and wise enough to learn from them.
2.5 stars. Believe it or not, that was the dedication at the front of the book. I think the Casts could probably turn their dedication back around on themselves, seeing as how they've taken the fan complaints to heart and reigned in some of the most blatant issues with House of Night.
Yes, I know. I'm still reading this trainwreck of a series. Hard to believe, isn't it?...more
I CANNOT WAIT!!!!! Destined was amazing!
UPDATE 7/19/12
For one, the cover is amazing. That's the best depiction of Zoey I've seen ever! I hope the book is as good as the cover!
Now, I've been doing predictions for all my new series. Each time, I come up with fifteen "prophecies" that I think must happen in the new novel. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, but I'm becoming known for them, so I think I'll do predictions for Hidden. Here we go!

I heard there were going to be 15 books in total in this series. I really don't understand it. They could have easily taken the plot, started with it from the beginning and finished with it five books ago, minusing the abbreviations (BFF. Really?) and awful comparisons to movies/shows (True Blood, Avatar, Glee...). The last few books have been complete drags with nothing happening that is beneficial for the ending as I see it.

The House of Night series is my number-one guilty pleasure; I turn to it whenever I am down in the dumps, and it never fails to make me laugh. The series has been going on for quite some time now, and while it is quite overbearing, there is a lot to appreciate. The latest installment, Hidden, is one of my favorite installments in the series. The beginning lagged a tiny bit, as is the usual later in the series. And then, suddenly, it was like a miracle happened: I hit a certain point, and I just...more

Zoey and the gang are back at the House of Night trying to pick up the pieces from everything that happened at the end of the last book. And surprise, deal with all the new...and old problems that are cropping up!
This book, this series, makes me feel like this:
Everything is frustrating! The plot, the characters, the writing...some things are better and some things are worse. And some of the things that were better are worse again. But the very bottom line is that this series has it's hooks in m...more

Why isn't this the end?!? There was a solution - though kind of easy and lame - but an opportunity for closure. Why does it have to be dragged out for two more books?!?
I actually liked this book more than the last because I liked the way it started. Lenobia has always been interesting to me, though she was always in the background, and I really liked that I got to see more of her, who she was, how she became who she is and her path to finding happiness. But that story was short-lived, and she di...more

Honestly, I like the idea for this series. I really do. And I loved the first five books. They were just sort of cozy. They are dragging it way too far out now. I'm not saying that the books don't have good points. I like Lenobia. I like Stevie Rae and Rephaim. I like Aphrodite and Darius. But honestly, this has to end.
SOON!

I can understand why everybody is so tired of reading these books and I can relate, but why would you continue to read it if you're going to have such a negative input on it? I honestly still read them simply because it's a good story line for the most part. Who cares if she puts abbreviations and stupid sayings that no one says in it? It's like being in another world, and honestly, I think that the addition of those kins of things help me get into the atmosphere of the house of night. If you do...more
Like Zoey would say "Ah hell"
Another amazing sequel by the author we know and love. If you haven't read the previous books read them. The book was alot about Aurox getting to know himself and his position in the world. Loved that Lenobia was reunited with her true love. Neferet has to come up with some more creative evil plans that will give some oomph to the book. Neferet was just to predictable. Didn't end on a cliffhanger so not sure what to expect in the next one..anxiously waiting..

Go ahead. Tell me 'I told you so'. Even though nobody actually told me not to read this book, they were all like 'Why are you still reading this?' So, in a way, they did tell me. But against all odds, I did enjoy the previous books (yes, I know) and I've read 10 parts, so I'm gonna stick with it until the end. Only two more parts to go!

I absolutely can not wait to read this. I fell in love with reading when I stumbled across this series while I was holed up after surgery. I read the first 9 in 3 weeks and was devastated to find out that I had to wait until October for the next book. Of course everyone wants it to end but I fell in love with all the characters. Even that terrible Aphrodite, who turns out isn't so terrible. I am recently 30 and this was a perfect mental vacation for me. Not the typical Vamp story. Btw, if any on...more
The other nine books I loved waited so long for this one... And I bet it will be just as good!!! I love this series and I really hope it makes it to the big screen:)

Sorry, but after who knows how many books, I think I'm over this. There is only so much of this story you can read until it gets repetitive. But really, it just feels like some neverending cycle where Zoey just seems to be the one that people admire/lust or just wanna be friends with. And for once, I want someone to die and stay dead. Jack was an exception, but still. This story just feels childish and - bleh. Also, I want Zoey to use the traditional 'I love you' instead of Zoey's normal 'OMG, I...more
So let me start this review by saying that the House of Night series has really been letting me down lately. I feel like I have to read this book, rather than feeling excited to read a new installment. That being said, book 10 was a little better than the past few in the series. When I finished the book, I did feel myself saying “what really was accomplished this book”? And I still do not have a good enough answer for that. But it does seem like after nine books, the Cast’s are getting better at...more
ANOTHER BOOK?
it's taken them 10 books to exploit Neferet. LIKE REALLY?!
it infuriates me so much ! that in the last..idk FIVE books its been kind of REALLY obvious that NEferet was evil and the rest of the world are just finding out now? Ughh........
I mean, i used to love the series but now it just drags on. Im only going to read this one to see what happens next.
