Zoey's adventures at vampyre finishing school take a wild and dangerous turn as in this spellbinding fourth House of Night novel.
Children's Literature
Zoey Redbird has problems. Besides being a vampire, a favorite of the goddess Nyx, and the enemy of the head priestess, all of her friends hate her. All but Aphrodite, that is, and Aphrodite is hated by everyone else anyway. But weird things are happening. Aphrodite's prophetic visions are of Zoey dying, and invisible ravens are attacking Zoey in the dark. Soon she realizes that Kalona, a long buried evil being, might be rising again. Evil seems to be all around and Zoey may be the only one who can stop it. This is the fourth book in the "House of Night" series, and in order to truly understand this book, you must have read the other ones. Character relationships are not described fully and references are often made to past events. The assumption is that readers will continue on to the next book since there is no satisfying ending. The novel is completely entrenched in the vampire genre without any elements to bring in other readers. Plus, there is a strong religious element that conservative parents may not be comfortable with. Despite this, readers of this series will certainly enjoy it and read it with relish. Others will probably pass it by. Reviewer: Heather Robertson Mason
