well this is one my list favourite book vuz when i finished reading i was like: well hell, someone gave me only the first half of the book( i had to wait for a bunch of months to read the rest half of the story in Burned). Sooo.... after Zoey kicked kalona's tight ass (hehe!!) she and the rest of the Nerd Herd followed closely by Aphrodite, Darius and the rest of the red fledlings return to the Tulsa house of Night to find that things haven't changed much after Kalona's and Neferet's flee. Stevie Rae following her heart saves a Raven Mocker, Kalona's favourite son Rephaim the one who killed Anastasia Lankford. Thimgs in the H.o.N are really bad not only because Prof Stacia is now dead and Dragon is deep in his sorrow and a bunch of blue fledlings are severely injured while trying to protect prof Anastasia by Rephaim's attack but also because the rest of the staff and fledlings are still under Kalona's spell and the consider him Erebus come to earth and friggin Neferet Nyx Incarnate. well after improving the situation Z and her friend find out that Neferet is in Italy with kalona trying to convince the Vampyre High Council about who they are and to support ther purpose to bring back the old ways. so the all fly to Italy trying to stop her from succeding her goal,cuz otherwise all the world will burn according to Aphrodite's visions. Stevie rae though has to stay in Tulsa so she can deal with the rogue red fledlings problem. The red Fledlings discover about aboout Stevie Rae's connection with Rephaim and they use him to kill Stevie rae. In the end Stevie rae is saved by Rephaim and an Imprint is established betweeen them breaking the old one she had with Aphrodite. On the other side of the ocean Zoey tries unsuccesfully to warn the High Council about Kalona's true identity and Neferet's honest intentions and she tries to solve " the Kalona boyfriend issue" by herself when she sees him killing Heath. She attacks the fallen bastard with all the power of the element spirit but it's too late for her to save Heath and that shatters her soul which is kinda a death sentence according to the rest of the vamps. THE END! i mean come on!!! wouldn't you expect something that get things right or a weird dangerous way to set thing right or something to give hope??? "sigh" well... you have to read Burned thn. and you're dang lucky that nw is out and you don't hafta way in anticipation like i did. All in all it is agood read so GO FOR IT!!!!
