This series just keeps getting better and better. The Casts are fearless about adding new dimensions to their beloved characters. I admire the creativity of their world--it's extremely well thought out and cohesive while blazing new paths in the vampiric realm. I really can't praise this series enough.

I have to say I became addicted to these books when I started them (and I had nothing to do over the past few days,) but now they're really starting to irritate me. I have started the fourth book but put it down because I can't just stand the horrid writing anymore. The author is extremely repetitive, starting with her introduction to the books. She thinks random people would start reading at the 3rd book without reading the previous ones, and in the process of her 'introductions' she pisses her...

⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱*On Hold*⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱ Second trying re-read: 25/26th to 31.03.2020 I'm gonna put this one hold for now. Don't know when I'll ever open it again, but for now, I'm actually ready to call it quits with this series, so I'm just gonna put it on hold instead. That being said: Is Zoey ‘Zo’ ‘Z’ ‘Zoeybird’ Montgomery Redbird (turns 17 in the first chapter) a hoe or what? I don't remember her being this way. If so, I apparently liked it as I remember loving this book and Zoey. But right now, I kind

CHOSEN was a long-drawn out account of Zoey Redbird dealing with (in her own words) her ho-ish existence. All we read about is Zoey’s hormones getting pulled every which way with: a) Human imprinted partner, Heath (who she intends breaking up with but instead has a hot ‘n’ heavy make-out session with)b) Erik, her handsome fledgling boyfriend (who she wants to come clean with about her roaming eye but instead ends up having hot ‘n’ heavy make-out sessions with)c) Loren Blake, temporary teache

homophobic stereotypes, internalised misogyny, predatory men, not-so-subtle racism, derogatory comments towards the homeless... [slaps cover of book] this baby's got it all! 🥴

I had a crazy idea last night. I decided that I would go to the library and read Hush, Hush, House of Night, Fallen, Evermore and its sequels, and Shiver. After hearing several bad reviews for each of these books, I avoided them. But curiousity got the better of me and I couldn't very well complain about how much the standards for YA novels have fallen without reading some of the alleged best sellers. My plan was foiled and the only book they had available was the third book in the House of Nigh...

The first two books in this series were pretty good. Definitely not phenomenal, but a good guilty pleasure series, like cotton candy in the world of literature. But Chosen was just too much. It starts off a month after Betrayed left off. Zooey is juggling three boyfriends, trying to keep the fact that Stevie Rae is a monster a secret, and struggling with the fact that her former mentor, Neferet, is an evil vampyre creating an undead army.First off, the thing that bothered me most about the book

I HATED this book more than I think I ever hated any other book in my life. Zoey is an annoying slut. The Twins are dumb bitches. Don't get me started with the love interests. Zoey thinks that anybody who has even a small dose of sexual desire is a hoe-bag, but yet throughout the series she had seven boyfriends (I kid you not). Talk about hypocritical, bitch. I strongly disliked Erik, Heath, and Loren. But Erik won me over at the scene when he called Zoey a stupid slut and a filthy hypocrite, am...

Here’s how I imagine the writing of this series went:P.C. Cast: Hey, vampires are popular now, right?Kristin Cast: Yeah, why?PC: We should write a book about them.K: That sounds like fun!PC: And the plot will follow a main character who is a plain girl that has no personality but all the hot boys in her life are inexplicably attracted to her.K: That sounds good too! One of them can be a boring childhood friend, one can be a bad boy who isn’t actually that bad, and one can be somebody in his twen...

Ugh, I don't even know why I'm bothering with this. I really wanted to slap a one star on it which I don't do unless I've actually finished the book but, yanno what? I'm gonna do it anyway.Apart from being a very poorly written account of the life of the single worst female protagonist I have ever, ever read about, this booked is rampant with stereotypes, derogatory terms, slut-shaming and the weirdest paragraph ever written about a gay character:...Usually he isn't so overtly gay. Not that the

If you want a cleaner review: https://rowansravingreviews.wordpress...Not so clean: Alright, so Loren Blake is possessive as fuck. He had controlled her. Cut himself and made her drink (not that she didn't want to) and then CUT HER and drank from her.... Yeah, and then was like, "Now let's finish the Imprint. Let's make love!" I was so disgusted... I literally can't even on how fucking vomit-provoking that scene was. I have read about sex, but this was all sorts of different. Loren Blake was, in...

!!!First line is a spoiler!!!(view spoiler)[What part of having sex with a teacher is right? (hide spoiler)]Not that that is a big surprise *rolls eyes*Zoey is a Mary Sue. She is. How many guys are after her? I have lost count. Whatever she does she is always forgiven and hardly gets hurt. Everyone wants to be Zoey's boyfriend or friend because she is sooooo popular and everyone can relate to her. The only character I liked was Neferet and even then she's useless at destroying Zoey. To think tha...

"You're not like anyone else," I whispered to my reflection. Then I cleared my throat and continued in an overly perky voice. "And it's okay not to be like anyone else." I rolled my eyes at myself. "Whatever." When I first started on the House of Night series back in January, I was warned by a friend that, while the first two books were indeed terrible, they had nothing on the third, Chosen. So, after reading Marked and Betrayed, I couldn't possibly believe my friend's words. How could it get

Mini ReviewI really hate giving bad reviews but this book truly disgusted me. I am really disappointed in P.C. and Kristin Cast. I mean honestly, do they think that all teenagers act like this because if they do, they need a reality check. Love triangles are overused but I can admit, that some writers can really do it well. This love square thing Zoey had going on was ridiculous. I mean, come on? When I read about the teacher suddenly popping up in the picture, I was so grossed out. I mean,

Zoey is probably the sluttiest heroine out there. e_e God.

I am merely using the character to illustrate my deep hatred for these books and why you should get drunk or at least get a sugar high off of them.Hi,This is Zoey Redbird (yes, I know I'm amazing you can like totally stop clapping now).Smiles.I'm upset that people are using my series to get drunk. Seriously, you can't understand how amazing it is. That I am like the...

This is the book that Zoey has completely lost it. "Stop playing games with me. And you think Aphrodite is a hateful bitch? You make her look like a fucking angel!"So Zoey basically still juggles between three males: Erik, Heath and Loren. And it seems that Loren is winning, while Erik (her supposedly boyfriend) will soon face betrayal. And he will not take it gracefully.Before the end of the book:-one of them will be dead-one will be heartbroken and -one will be his usual absentminded selfVery

Totally amazeballs and now onward with the next book in the series!

This book has the worst grammar of any published novel I have ever read. Whoever edited this should be ashamed. Besides that, the authors do write a story that is fairly interesting. Authors are pretty good, but the editors can't possibly speak English.Down points of the novel are that every guy is described as being exactly the same. They're all perfectly gorgeous without a flaw or even different personalities. The homosexual characters are flat stereotypes. And, having a young adult book in wh...
