What if the hottest guy in the world was hiding a nameless evil, and all he wanted was you?At the start of this heart-pounding new installment of the bestselling House of Night series, Zoey's friends have her back again and Stevie Rae and the red fledglings aren't Neferet's secrets any longer. But an unexpected danger has emerged. Neferet guards her powerful new consort, Kalona, and no one at the House of Night seems to understand the threat he poses. Kalona looks gorgeous, and he has the House of Night under his spell. A past life holds the key to breaking his rapidly spreading influence, but what if this past life shows Zoey secrets she doesn't want to hear and truths she can't face?On the run and holed up in Tulsa's Prohibition-era tunnels, Zoey and her gang must discover a way to deal with something that might bring them all down. Meanwhile, Zoey has a few other little problems. The red fledglings have cleaned up well – they've even managed to make the dark, creepy tunnels feel more like home – but are they really as friendly as they seem? On the boyfriend front, Zoey has a chance to make things right with super-hot ex-, Erik, but she can't stop thinking about Stark, the archer who died in her arms after one unforgettable night, and she is driven to try to save him from Neferet's sinister influence at all costs. Will anyone believe the power evil has to hide among us?

"While I've enjoyed this series on the whole, I felt like this one was really weak. Zoey just seemed like a whiny brat (and her language! omg! In the first several installments, she prided herself on her clean mouth; in this one, there were F-bombs thrown left and right. When you're actually speaking, they don't sound as harsh, but on paper, it just looks trashy.) Pretty vampire witch princess boyfriend drama got a little old - I'd very much like to see the lives of the other people in Zoey's life get some attention and development. The red fledglings were a nice touch, but then "Kramisha" trying to embody the stereotype of the uneducated black female really irritated me. Maybe I've grown up a little since I read the last book in the series, but Zoey just seems extremely immature for a 17 year old, and even more so, given the weight of the responsibility she's destined with.<br/><br/>As for editing - again, maybe I had a rushed-through first edition, but there were grammatical errors everywhere - quotation marks in the middle of a paragraph interrupting a long dialogue, subject/verb disagreements, multiple tenses in one sentence. There was even a part where, I'm 90% certain, two of the characters were mixed up - Darius was targeted at a thought that I'm SURE was meant to be Damien.<br/><br/>All in all, this one just felt really sloppy to me. I think I'll take another break before I move back in for more of the series."
