Revealed: House of Night, Book 11

11th book is favorite until 12
I started this series on recommendation from a stranger and her daughter in a book store. I have not been able to set the books down from start to finish. I watch my tracking numbers until the book arrives at my door step.This has been my favorite book so far. I am still reading my way through the House of Night Series but everyday featured in the book is an adventure for Zoey and her "Nerd Herd". I just cannot wait to see what happens next.With Nyx above, Thonatos in the House of Night with Kalona, Aphrodite's visions, and other friends gifts the "Nerd Herd" might make it through. Thankfully there is always help somewhere and sometimes where Zoey and friends least expect it.

Not much "Revealed"!!!!
As usual, I won't disclose a lot of details about the book in my review. I really believe it can ruin it for other readers. With that said:I have not seen any other reviews until I came here to put mine in. And WOW, it seems I am not the only one disappointed in this one! Even though you have your usual characters doing the usual thing: Fighting evil and trying not to kill each other in the same breathe. You also have a few "little" (and I mean that LITERALLY) things change up in the story. However, most of what happens in this one, you can pretty much guess what is going to happen next.The best way to describe how this book was put together is this: It seems like the Cast ladies took a couple of chapters from the House of Night series to come and made a whole book out of it. When things actually start to happen, it's the end of the book. Everything before this is just......blah.I am seriously disappointed in this one. The story is still good and you do have a couple of areas where you start to learn a little bit of what is to come. Hopefully when "it" does come, it will be an actual book and not a couple of chapters to make a book.As for recommending it.....I am on the fence with that. Do you need to read it to know what is going on? Maybe "2" things in this whole book are suggestive in what's coming in the next book(s). If you are a House of Night die hard fan, then have at it. If you have read all the others and want to keep going with them, then have at it. If you think you can pick up the next book without reading this one and not be lost, I may have to agree with that. I still am looking forward to the next installment. Hopefully it will be more than a few chapters spread out.

My humble opinion
Addicted to the series. Always a good read. I love me some supernatural. I do like the author's style of writing, which feels natural and compatible to the way we talk and think. Good character development. Love the fact that the author references modern icons, movies and events. Story lines are interesting and filled with drama and edge of your seat excitement and anticipation. I do love to hate the villain and this one is evil. Only negatives are ones that waste good story space and time, such as, the repetitive descriptions of past events and characteristics of people and then the romantic events or inner insecurity issues can definitely use some editing as it can, in places, be blah blah blah....tedious and over descriptive for what is needed. I usually just skip over these sections and get back to what's really happening with the story. There are also some typos here and there that bug me on rare occasion because I wish I could just fix them myself! Oh, and though the length of these books are typical, I would love if some authors would just make books that are seriously think again, like 500 pages or more! Other than that. I highly recommend this series. You won't regret it.

Wonderful read
This is the second to last book in a series called House of Night I suggest reading all the books before you get into this one and the last. But is showed up pretty fast and was in perfect condition. I love these books and they are great (I've read them all before) The cover wasn't damaged and neither were any of the pages. This book showed up and I was able to devour it pretty fast. It also showed up really fast and I live in Hawaii so things usually don't get here fast. Overall I am happy with this purchase.

Wish it were longer...
I have very few complaints about this book except that I truly wish it was lengthier. I don't understand why everyone is complaining about the "teenage drama" that seems to "run rampant" in this book; did any of you happen to notice that this is blatantly labeled as a "Young Adult Fiction".... About teenage vampires... In a school?In any case, the themes I personally enjoyed about this book were much more intricate than this "teenage drama" label being thrown around. Questioning morality, battling against dark desires, & coming of age are all apparent themes but none should be taken so lightly & slapped with such a lame term.! It's not like these themes suddenly become irrelevant when we leave our teen years behind.As always, I enjoyed the writing style of the Cast mother-daughter duo though I still find myself wishing for a much steady adult tone in more of the teenaged characters dialogue, however, I understand that it is done so purposefully to accentuate youth & inexperience. It does still lose my interest from time to time but I am a full grown, adult woman so I guess teenaged prattle should be uninteresting to me... Duh.My hope for the next installment is that it will finally have the serious tone that I believe this series is deserving of along with greater length & detail. That is all. I would recommend that any House of Night lover not be deterred by the rude remarks of those that expect more from a series with such a blatant label.

Hogwarts of the night
Great, now facing dilemma of wanting to keep on reading but concerned the series is ending with the next book. The authors perhaps could have had the story line covered a few more years, the intensity of the plot may have better been served if it had been spread over a few more years rather than the months chronicled.

Loved it
This set of stories is a life by one but so worth it.During the story so far I'm completely intrigued by the characters and how they are growing, on to the next book I go.

House of Night - the continuing story!
Love this book and love the series. However, compared to others in the series, this book is a lot slower and there is not so much of the storyline in it. Zoey continues as a High Priestess in training but is begining to show the effects of 'old magic' which changes her character. There are twists and turns in the story I did not expect...I'm not sure how much further this series goes as I feel it is coming to an end. BUT i hope it continues for a few more books yet. I hope the next one is not long it coming and is a bit more faster paced but if you have read the others.. then you must read this. It is not really a standalone book.

I read these books years ago and got to the 7th one and then life took over. I’ve now finished and these are a great read even for someone who’s in her late 20s! I personally love the mix of old school vamp,Cherokee and ancient tale style info!

Nothings Revealed!
I was so excited to get this instalment of the series, I am a huge HON fan. This book has really disappointed me, not very long with an achingly slow plot plus nothing really happens until the last part of the book. I will still be buying the last one next year, as I want to see how Zoey and her friends end up, but I cant help but think that P.C and Kristen have dragged this out until the bitter end.
