It just drove me nuts because I never really liked any of the male romantic leads (except one really) and I just hated the flip-flopping back and forth. I remember reading somewhere that this was done intentionally to have a female lead with polyamory because of something or other–but it’s just too over the top for me. But wait…it gets better! Not only does Zoey find herself in one love triangle but she practically has 12 going on at the same time (no lie, she legit has 4 boys vying for her attention at any one time). It is also no secret that I am NOT a fan of love triangles and this book has them in plenty. I just never connected well with her and Lead-Heroine Self-Sacrifice Syndrome. Ugh–she is the definition of my most disliked heroine in a Young Adult series ever (though Bella Swan is a very close first). One thing I knew from the start was that I didn’t like Zoey. Overall, it was your typical intro book to a longer running series. Which was a bit of a shock to me because I hadn’t really come across that too much in other books but it isn’t full out descriptive by any means. It was also a lot “spicier” than other books in the genre (definitely a result of PC Cast being an adult romance writer) as it mentions a lot more sexual content. It was a different spin on vampires and I liked that it was much darker than other Young Adult vampire reads. I really did enjoy the first novel, Marked. She absolutely loved this series and I had liked her previous suggestions so I decided to give this series a try. I started this series as a recommendation from a co-worker. I have decided not to continue with the series after this novel. PLEASE NOTE: That as of May, 2014 I have only read up to Destined(Book 9) of the series. Source & Format: Public Library–Hardcover Publication Dates: April 2018 – August 2018 Heat Rating: very warm (for a Young Adult Novel) Genre: Young Adult, Paranormal, Vampires, Romance, Drama, Action # of Books: 12 ( Full Reading Order Here) When she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school’s most elite club, is misusing her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself for the courage to embrace her destiny–with a little help from her new vampyre friends. But she is not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers. She has been Marked as special by the vampyre Goddess, Nyx. It’s tough to begin a new life, away from her parents and friends, and on top of that, Zoey finds she is no average fledgling. In this first book in the series, Zoey enters the House of Night, a school where, after having undergone the Change, she will train to become an adult vampire - that is, if she makes it through the Change. The House of Night series is set in a world very much like our own, except in 16-year-old Zoey Redbird’s world, vampyres have always existed. Series Review: Is this series worth your time? Does it get better as the novels progress? Or does it get worse? Find out below:
