*4.5 stars*
What I forgot to mention in the review of the Marked, is that I absolutely loved Zoes markings. I wish some talented artist would draw her mark and tattoos :) Delicate emerald net... I wish I could pull it off.
Plot continued to surprise me pleasantly (also sometimes not so pleasantly!) At times it did seem slower, than in Marked, but all the things started, get even more confusing twist and seem far from being over. Already the first third of the book made me see the already familiar character so differently, Neferet, Aphrodite. Wow. I can only hold my breath, eyes bulging out, of what could happen next.
What did irk me, was the constant que of guys around Zoe. And it always started with her thoughts, of how the guy is possibly the
best looking male on the planet Earth. Seriously? Erik seemed like a
ordinary nobody after that and I feel sorry for him. I still like him the best, but sometimes Zoe really made me doubt her, is she worth such a great guy? Apart from this "minor" character flaw, I still liked her. She did her best to stay true to her visions and I liked how she a had a strong sense of self, strong personality.
And hahaha at all of them trying to figure out how to make a
bomb threat the most efficient way! Just who are you supposed to call and actually
threaten? Hilarious! One of the best qualities of the House of Night
series, is the relationship between Zoe and her circle. I just but
collapsed, when Damien mouthed how he has just entered a cute-gay-guys
heaven. I was so so happy for him. And of course, the twins. "Ditto Twin!" I really hope they will all stay together through all the series, this knowledge only would already make me finish it! On the Chosen!
THis is one of those series that I keep meaning to start, but never get around to it. Great review!

Thanks Alyssa! I so know what you mean! For me it's the Blood of Eden series by Julie Kagawa. I know I want to read it, but I keep on putting it off. But I encourage you to try this series. I really like the light humor and quick-paced action :)
