I really loved this book. It is the 5th book in the house of night series, and I have to say I think this might be my favorite one so far.

The plot is incredible. It kept me interested the whole book and it didnt have any slow parts. I just wanted to keep reading the whole time. And the world that PC cast has created is so interesting and detailed. I love it. I love this this book kind of combines vampires and Wicca elements, which are both things I have been interested in reading about lately.

In this book Zoey and her group of friends must fight against Kalona, an evil god/fallen angel. The raven mockers are are Kalona's children and they sound seriously creepy. The book has a lot of action in it and it is very fast paced, which I really enjoyed.

Erik really started bugging me in this book, which made me sad bc I really liked him before. But Zoey has more guys than she can handle with Erik and Heath and Stark. I really like Heath more and more as the books go on and Stark is my new favorite. I look forward to seeing what is going to happen between him and Zoey in the 6th book.

Which I am off to read right now!

The ending of this book just killed me! But it was still a great book. The books are getting darker and evil is a bigger theme in the later books. All of the details in Zoey's world are captivating. I get lost in them so easily.

I really like all the characters in this series and I want so much more of Stark! I dont think there can ever be enough. I want more heath too, and this book made me really sad on the Heath front. I want to keep reading, I need to go out and buy the next book ASAP.

The one thing that does bug me about this series is that in the first few chapters of each book there is a lot of recap. and i do mean a lot, too much I think. Some recap is needed to give the reader context, but you don't want to have too much to the point of not needing to read the previous books in the series.

but aside from that, I am loving this series!

I have already seen true blood on tv, so I knew what these books were about before I read them. I very rarely ever read the book after I have seen a movie/show. Normally it is the other way around. I think I prefer to read the book first, but oh well.

These books are about Sookie Stackhouse, a waitress who can read minds. There are vampires mainstreaming with people, because they are not seen as much of a threat since they can drink synthetic blood. (they are not a threat only in theory)

These books are good, I enjoyed the first one. But I loved Bill for most of the tv show, and I liked him much less in the book. That was a little disappointing. He seemed much colder in the book.

But I am looking forward to starting the next book to see how it is different from the show.

I am loving this series! I love the tv show, and the books do not disappoint at all. There are some differences, but that is to be expected. I am really interested in seeing where the books are going to go from here because in the first book a storyline that took a whole season to develop was wrapped up in a single novel. (the storyline of who was killing the "fangbanger" girls)

A similar thing happened in the second book in the series. The tv show centered much of the whole second season around these crazy orgy parties and this supernatural creature that was feeding off of the lust and madness that she was causing. This book introduced the creature and saw to her departure by the end. So it seems to me that the books are much faster moving than the tv counterpart.

I like this because it means I am going to be getting to new content very soon! By this I mean things that I have not yet seen on the show. The show just finished its third season and by the end of book 2 I am current with the end of the second season, if that makes sense.

I am loving Eric in the books. Much more than I did in seasons 1 and 2 of the show. Bill not so much, but he is growing on me.

I'm off to start the 3rd book right now, because I can't wait to see if it will be the whole season 3 too.
