The third book in the House of night series.

Mixed feelings about this one. Some weird shit really, student teacher relationship, ZOEY HAVING 3 BOYFRIENDS? It was all a bit weird.

Don’t get me wrong there was some elements I did like but definitely the negatives outweighed the positives on this one...though the first half was better than the 2nd!

I’ll probably end up reading the other ones I own, just to get them off my tbr, bc it’s not a horrible series, it’s just mediocre. They’re pretty quick to read though so that’s a benefit

(view spoiler)[I was right! *Does a happy dance*. Professor Loren Blake did have a secret agenda . Which inadvertently led him to die.Though it also could be Zoey's fault. (hide spoiler)]

Overall though, the book was an easy read but i did not particularly like the writing style. It could use some improvements.

Bloodlust and dark forces are at work at the House of Night. Fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird's adventures at the school are about to 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 "highly addictive series" (Romantic Times), in which Zoey'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'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 three boyfriends. Mix a little bloodlust into the equation and the situation has the potential to spell social disaster. Just when it seems things couldn't get any tougher, vampyres start turning up dead. Really dead. It looks like the People of Faith, and Zoey'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...

A House of Night Novel

Sasha Mann

Zoey is dealing with some winter/holiday funk and depression. Having to keep so many things hidden to herself it really makes the reader sympathize with her at times. From missing her best friend to having yet another argument with her mother- Zoey really has that teen angst, but it is understandable at the same time. It is a good thing she has her grandmother that completely understands and loves her for who she is.
She is also coming to the very serious and harsh reality that people are not all they seem to be upon first glance. Enemies become friends and vice versa.A lot of things happen in this one that leaves the reader staring at the book in shock. From deaths to surprises, a lot happens to keep a reader entertained and turning the page

"I guess it had gone okay with Stevie Rae. I mean, she had agreed to meet me tomorrow. And she hadn't tried to bite me, which was a plus. Of course, the whole trying-to-eat-the-street-person thing was highly disturbing . . ." Zoey's best friend, Stevie Rae, is undead - in an eww! zombie! kind-of-way, not in a cool vampire kind-of-way. She's struggling to retain her humanity and Zoey doesn't have a clue how to help. But she does know that anything they discover must be kept secret. Trust has become a rare commodity. Sinister forces are at work at the House of Night, where the line between friend and enemy is becoming dangerously blurred. - Not suitable for younger readers -
