Hunted: The House of Night Series (Book 5) By: P.C Cast & Kristin Cast

What if the hottest guy in the world was hiding a nameless evil, and all he wanted was you?

Summary :

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?




Review:

This will only be a short review. My opinion of The House of Night Series hasn't changed after reading Hunted (Book 5). I am still really enjoying following Zoey's exploits and I was so pleased that she at least tried to exert some control over her need to have so many boyfriends in this book.

I was really gripped by the story, I couldn't wait to find out how Zoey would challenge Kalona - the fallen angel and Neferet the House of Night's High Priestess. However, I have to say there seemed to be very little actual plot in terms of ending. In my opinion the ending reached the highest proportion imaginable on the cheesy-o-meter. It really did lack content but I hope that this is because the real battle will take place in the next book, Tempted. Which I guess this indicates two things: firstly, that I am seriously getting addicted to this series. Secondly, that I have gone over to the dark side as I am now reveling in the ludicrous "teen" style these books are written in.

On a more positive note, I like the way the Aphrodite's storyline is developing and her blossoming relationship with Darius. I am also becoming quite fond of Stark. Although, I have to say I take a serious objection to Zoey's willingness to forgive the hideous thing that he does! I'm not sure the authors gave enough consideration as to how they dealt with the issue. I have to be cryptic about this because I don't want to spoil the story for you. If you read it, you'll know what I mean.

My Final Thoughts:

Okay, I said I was going to keep this short, so I'll just round up. Overall, I really enjoy these vampire novels despite some flaws.
