Product Description
Book Description
The next exciting instalment in the adventures of Zoey Redbird at the House of Night school for vampyres.
Product Description
Y'all need to get yourselves together. Here's a newsflash from the only High Priestess you have left at this dang school: Zoey isn't dead. And believe me, I know dead. I've been there, done that and got the fricken tee-shirt.
Zoey Redbird is the youngest High Priestess in House of Night history and is the only person - vamp or fledgling - that can stop the evil Neferet from raising all kinds of immortal trouble. And she might just have a chance if she wasn't so busy being dead.
Well, dead is too strong a word. Stevie Rae knows she can bring her BFF back from her unscheduled va-cay in the Otherworld. But it's going to take a lot more than hoping to bring Zoey back. Stevie Rae will have to give up a few secrets of her own . . .

.C. Cast has gone way beyond the talent she has shown in previous books in her writing of the most recent installment of the House of Night series. The multiple perspectives, introduced in the 6th book worked masterfully in telling this book's unique story. The way that the storyline is told is both surprising as it is breathtaking. There was a point in this book where P.C. Cast tricked me and I absolutely loved it! When the realization hit, I was in awe of how well written the revelation was. And satisfyingly enough the reader will be just as challenged as the characters are while reading this book. As a friend once put it, "these books are like snacks." With that comparison, this book is not a snack the way the others are, and it isn't a full course meal either. Instead, it sits the reader down and shows them how to cook.
But lets go back to the first 6 books. Because without them, this book wouldn't be nearly as pointed. During the House of Night series, the reader feels a need and demand that the characters learn, make decisions, and grow. Books 1 through 6 hasn't really shown us the volume to which these characters can change. While we know that they have, we haven't ever been as intimate with the characters until this 7th book, where we are forced to look at these multi-dimensional characters and acknowledge the depth of them. Heath, Zoey, Aphrodite, Darius, Stevie-Rae, Rephaim, Stark and the big baddies (Neferet and Kalona) are the main focus and while fans of the Twins and Damien and Jack might be disappointed, the focus on the characters listed is key to this book. What's marvelous about that, though is not all characters are developed in the present, not all are even truly in the book, but each and every character mentioned takes on more meaning and becomes so much more clear than in previous books.
Now I'm a huge Stark fan and by the end of this book I don't see how anyone couldn't be, but that's not where I think this review should focus. What's more important is that I'm not a huge Zoey fan. I'm not a huge Heath fan. But by the end of this book I was. Zoey's character changes so much that the reader may expect whiplash yet the story is crafted so that her extraordinary progresses reads naturally. Heath's character is developed simply by reviewing the constants in his relations with everyone in the book. It does not serve to make any reader feel stupid, but rather does cause a reader to stop and think about how Heath really doesn't change so much as our understanding of him did.
Stark. Where to even begin. We learn his history, his future and glimpse into his mind in the present all at once while somehow carrying his load for him. His role in this book is so well written and so well played that this character really shines.
Those of you interested in Stevie-Rae and the inevitable dilemma of Rephaim will not be disappointed by how this story-line, so loosely and tightly mingled with Zoey's is developed and expressed.
And that firecracker Aphrodite? If you think she had a strong voice in all of the rest of the books, her voice is even stronger, if that can even be conceived, in this one. Another spin in the story line helps develop her character in remarkable ways as well.
Here are the most important themes of the book: The act of wishing vs. doing, disguise, the power of mistakes, the power that everyone has inside of us born out of the path we choose, and ultimately, the power not so much of free will but more of choice. Every choice in this book counts

Excellent read!!
This is one of the best books in the series! I absolutely adore Stevie-Rae and Rephaim's relationship as it so beautifully progresses into something that neither one of them saw coming, through adventure and 'night in shining armour' rescues their true feelings for each other are revealed:) (WONDERFUL!!). I cannot wait to see where their relationship takes them in the next book as the ending in this one gave them a decision to make.
Beside from that, zoey's soul has shattered and in the otherworld she is slowly losing herself completely unable to rest (literally) and her friends back in the real world are running out of time to save her. I love Aphrodite in this book, she really takes control and even though her tongue is still as sharp as razors (funny), we see that she really loves Zoey and inside she is hurting just as much as everyone else. Neferet is up to her elbows in evil trying to make sure that zoey cant ever return and in this book we find that Kalona really does feel something for zoey but is it really love and is it worth sacrificing himself to save her?
We are shown how dedicated Stark is to Zoey and how he would do absolutely anything for her; he is a big part in the rescue mission for zoey, but is he going to be too late?
Great book, fantastic story line loved every page! Kristin Cast you rock!!

I am a huge fan of any vampire related book so naturally I love the House of Night series. This is book seven in the series and is from a very different perspective with Zoey only narrating a very small portion of the book. This was a refreshing change as it gave insight into the other characters and took us away from the sometimes annoying mind that is Zoey Redbird. The book does have its flaws as it contiues with the immature 'I heart you' language that is used in all the others and Zoey's inability to actually choose one guy and not have three on the go (sometimes four if you include Kalona) at any one time. What I liked most about the book was the relationship between Stevie Rae and Rephaim which originated in book six. Maybe I should be more concerned with Stevie Rae's involvement with the leader of the Raven Mockers or Nephilim (the half bird half human immortal offspring from a fallen angel), but I found myself becoming obsessive and slightly (ok very) disappointed if the chapter heading wasn't Stevie Rae or Raphaim.
Overall a big improvement to book six and I cant wait for the next book to come out in January.
