           This was about a 3.5/5
I'm truly struggeling to get through the House of Night books lately, this was a bit better, though not quite as kick-ass as the end of the last book which really got me excited again. But I am quite sure that I will finish this series. I just want to have tht sense of accomplishment, which is kinda weird but anyways...
This series really is quite dragged out but I do like that Ze's mom and Heath are involved again and it actually kinda pleased me that the authors were willing to let Jack die. I also really like the relationship combos rn...Aphrodite and Darius...Zoe and Stark and of course Stevie Rae and Rephaim, though Rephaim was not quite that strong a character in this installment compared to the last two in my opinion.
Well this is all over the place...bottom line I liked, just didn't love it

Zoey is back and we get tonsee that she is given a slight break from everything that has been going on since like book 2. It fits in with her character that she would try and find some peace and quiet after all that has happened. Story gives you some foreboding foreshadowing that leaves you feeling uneasy knowing something is going to happen to a character we have come to love and know
Foreboding continues, we know things are going to go bad but we don't quite yet know exactly what.
The theme of choice is very prominent in this installment and I'm sure the impacts will come into play in the rest of the series.


"My love, speak to me. Tell me everything." Neferet went to Kalona, kneeling before him, stroking the soft, dark wings that unfurled loosely around the immortal. "What would you have me say?" He didn't meet her eyes. "Zoey lives." Neferet's voice was flat, cold, lifeless. "She does." "Then you owe me the subservience of your immortal soul." She started to walk away from him. "Where are you going? What will happen next?" "It is quite simple. I will ensure Zoey is drawn back to Oklahoma. There, on my own terms, I will complete the task you failed." Exonerated by the Vampyre High Council and returned to her position of High Priestess at Tulsa's House of Night, Neferet has sworn vengeance on Zoey. Dominion over Kalona is only one of the weapons she plans to use against Z. But Zoey has found sanctuary on the Isle of Skye and is being groomed by Queen Sgiach to take over for her there. Being Queen would be cool, wouldn't it? Why should she return to Tulsa? After losing her human consort, Heath, she will never be the same – and her relationship with her super-hot-warrior, Stark, may never be the same either... And what about Stevie Rae and Rephaim? The Raven Mocker refuses to be used against Stevie Rae, but what choice does he have when no one in the entire world, including Zoey, would be okay with their relationship? Does he betray his father or his heart? In the pulse-pounding 8th book in the bestselling House of Night series, how far will the bonds of friendship stretch and how strong are the ties that bind one girl's heart?

Reread as I’m determined to finally finish this series even though it’s terrible.

This book was really good in my opinion. I like how it tells the story of Stevie Rae and Rephaim ad also Stark and Zoey. It has a lot of twists in it that you wouldn't expect and also a lot of action.
