About this ebook

When friends stop trusting each other, Darkness is there to fan the flames....

Things have turned black at the House of Night. Zoey Redbird's soul has shattered. With everything she's ever stood for falling apart, and a broken heart making her want to stay in the Otherworld forever, Zoey's fading fast. It's seeming more and more doubtful that she will be able pull herself back together in time to rejoin her friends and set the world to rights. As the only living person who can reach her, Stark must find a way to get to her. But how? He will have to die to do so, the Vampyre High Council stipulates. And then Zoey will give up for sure. There are only 7 days left...

Enter BFF Stevie Rae. She wants to help Z but she has massive problems of her own. The rogue Red Fledglings are acting up, and this time not even Stevie Rae can protect them from the consequences. Her kinda boyfriend, Dallas, is sweet but too nosy for his own good. The truth is, Stevie Rae's hiding a secret that might be the key to getting Zoey home but also threatens to explode her whole world.

In the middle of the whole mess is Aphrodite: ex-Fledgling, trust-fund baby, total hag from Hell (and proud of it). She's always been blessed (if you could call it that) with visions that can reveal the future, but now it seems Nyx has decided to speak through her with the goddess's own voice, whether she wants it or not. Aphrodite's loyalty can swing a lot of different ways, but right now Zoey's fate hangs in the balance.

Three girls... playing with fire... if they don't watch out, everyone will get Burned.

Ratings and reviews

Slightly disappointing. I felt like this book kept trying to take off and get to the epiphany, but it never seemed to. The book kept going through plot development and character development, but there didn't seem to be any major event. I definitely thought that Stark's journey and where he traveled was neat. Stevie Rae's story sort of weirded me out. I would have liked to hear more about Erik. It was worth reading, but definitely my least favorite of the series.

Cool. -Sariyah

I absolutely love all these books! Once I start reading them I can't stop til im done. I was so shocked when zoeys soul shattered but her friends always pull it together for her tho! Can't wait to read Awakened! Btw DO NOTread the reviews for awakened I did and it almost made me not want to get awakened. Two major things happen that you will never believe.
