I don't understand why people don't like it. I think it was really good.


C.C. I liked some part of it


Morgana_lefay I liked the first book but for some reason could not get past the second one, I'm actually not sure why, but I tried twice and just couldn't


message 4: by [deleted user] (new)

The first books were OK, I think the five or four last ones were the best :DD


Danielle I actually really liked the series..i didn't even know this many people hated them :(


Danielle but i do think that they need to end them already

Yes, I agree. It's nine books now? And number 10 is definitely coming. Didn't seem like the end in nine anygays.


Olivia I liked it not my favorite book but was good enough to read the rest if the series. If you do not like this book give the other books a shot because they are really good.


Monica I did like this books a lot! they only is i think 5 or 6 books would of being enough! That way people would like it more and get a better fast understatement of the story and all!

Anyone agrees?


Olivia Ya i agree with everyone else……there were too many books in the series but if you really like the series you will find a way to look beyond that.


Vivian I liked the series enough that I bought all the books. Some of the books I liked better than others, but as a whole I liked the series.


Mariana Only read this first book and didn't like it. At all.


Courtney Gulbis I thought it was interesting up to book #5. after that, i still read them but, IMO, weren't as good.

I loved the series. I read 8 books in 9 days and preorded the 9th book so that I could have it even though I moved to China.

Tane Zoeys personality i hate!!!! ugh!!!!


Simran I agree I hate Zoey's personality but the books were good.


message 17: by [deleted user] (new)

i like this series,i just stopped reading it. i found out something intersesting thou,it was funny but the author put it in here


Tasha I love this series, just can't afford to finish it yet


Briana I loved the Drama that goes with these books, and yes I don't like Zoey's personality!


Lynne M I hate how over the whole series Zoe didn't seem to grow. The whole time she whined about everything and didn't seem to care enough about the important things. But read the whole series to find out what happens. They get a little better.


Aparna hey I actually LOVED the series.yeah it seemed to going on forever but i enjoyed the suspense thrill and romance.. I'm even waiting for the next book....


Darlene Etheridge i really liked the series but i felt that it was a little too long so i stopped after book 4

This book is so stupid.

Zoe is a whiny slut. The twins are annoying. Jack is stereotypical. Heath is pathetic and can't take a hint. Eric is a jerk.

Stark is probably the only character I could stand.

Of the four or five books that I've read in the HoN series, I saw virtually no character development.

Every book Zoe has the same boy drama, with a different guy.

The villains are mediocre.

The plot was predicable.

The general story idea had a unique spin on a not so unique genre (a YA vampire novel; where have I heard that one before?) but it was poorly executed.

All over, HoN had the potential of being amazing, but the Cast's created world full of two dimensional characters and terrible word building.


Briana Well I on the other hand loved the book. And the only book that I couldn't stand was Tempted, it was very slow!! But anyway I loved this much better than Twilight. Just my opinion!!!

Very well said :)


Briana I disagree, yes Zoey is the person I mostly couldn't stand throughout the book, but yo get past it. How far did you all get into the series??


Tonyalee I liked this one- and the three after that. However, after book 4, it got to the point where I just couldn't stomach reading Zoey anymore. (She was ALWAYS irritating...)the plot got weird and all the other characters were just... eh. all in all, I wouldn't start them


message 28: by Nikki (new) - rated it 1 star

Nikki I hated this book because of Zoey and the horrible writing. This series was milked way too long.

I have read the whole series, I didn't enjot it after the first 3 vooks. However my 10yr old daughter loves the all of them. Hope that helps.


Briana Well it all depends because like said before this is a book for teens, with nothing better to read, so if you don't like it that's probably why. Well anyway I still liked it and I am now finally on Destined, even though there are like five more coming out.


Angela I absolutely adore this series! Some of the writing is a little cheesy but it is definitely a guilty pleasure.


message 32: by Dev (new) - rated it 3 stars

Dev I started out liking it. Got my brother hooked on it lol. Then, after books 4-5 I stopped waiting impatiently for the next book. After # 7 I just gave up...it just got too annoying. I'm not even going bother reading any more books. The story has gotten to where it is just not worth my time or money.


Hannah Eng I hated the beginning. Like you had no background on the girl and all of a sudden, like BAM vampire... the writting was choppy, but it had a good plot/story line. It's very creative and although I've only read three of them, her writting gets better as she goes on.


Angela I feel like the writing is kind of...immature although I know it is written and geared towards a certain audience. Anyone else think that?


Alexa At first I loved the writing. It was new and exciting and made me really happy that something like that could be published. I did really love the series at first... It was about after the fourth book when it started to go downhill after Zoey had like, three or four guys lusting after her... The book have been getting better lately, but I haven't been enjoying them like I did in the beginning and I think that Cast duo just needs to admit that it's time to finish the story. :(


message 36: by Amy (new) - rated it 4 stars

Amy I LOVED this book. Although, I will admit, the series has gotten a little flat lately. I'm hoping the next book will shake things up a bit.


Cookiemonster454136 I thought it was kinda offensive. She was all like, what if I turn into those hideous emo kids, or worse a goth? Firstly allow me to point out we have yet another, shallow, pathetic chick, just like Bella from Twilight. Secondly I'm pretty sure that emos would mob her if she walked out of her house looking like one of them. Although I didn't finish the book I know for a fact it was one of the worst book written (besides Twilight).


Heather Emily I read the first book, and part of the second. I didn't like it at all.


Angela Also, I find their writing about gay men too stereotypical. However, I know the authors have done a tremendous amount of work to help LGBT youth.

The first few book are good really good
am findig myselft just reading through the others.


message 41: by Gal (new) - rated it 2 stars

Gal I loved the first one, but just couldn't catch up with the others....


Margarita I'm not gonna say that I comepletely hated the book or that I hate the series, i just don't find it to my interest. The story itself is good but its soooooo slow paced and not very eye catching. I think the series should be aimed for older women, not for teens.

you r right

Actually I think that saying that someone didnt like it is a valid answer.
If you want only comments from ppl who liked it, you should say so in your first post or name of the thread

you only asked if anyone liked it and saying no is in my opinion a valid answer

even in the threads where its discussed why some books are hated there are ppl who say they liked it and nobody tells them to go away (unless they start insulting those with different opinions)

and if you want to know how ppl feel about the books you should take both part like and dislike

and if you look at the comments most of them say that they liked the books at least at some point but as all long series ppl can change their opinion especially when they think that the books turned to worse


message 46: by Morgana_lefay (last edited Jun 02, 2012 01:40AM) (new) - rated it 3 stars

Morgana_lefay I liked the first one, the second one not so much and when I read a blurb for some later books and saw there that she didnt understand why her friends dot like her anymore because she is with multiple guys (if I understand it correctly - while she was going out with her schoolmate she slept with her teacher - didnt read it, just what others said) at once and she doesnt understand why her friends dont like it I decided that the books are not right for me, I really hate cheating so I dont like books where MC does that and maybe it was too YA for me so I abandoned the series

But I liked the idea of the vampires and how they become one


Morgana_lefay sorry for the spoiler (but yea she did, I think it was the one she finds so irresistible - i think she liked him in book two? I think he was a poet or something? not really sure it has been a few years since I read it)

This is the kind of book that differs from people's imagination. I think its not that cool but yes it is something which is to be read. I dont find the series highly addictive atall.


Delia I happened to like the books, while they did tend to drag a bit, they were interesting to read.


Elizabeth THe first was okay but I couldn't get through the second. Their are plently of better books you can read than these.
