What if the hottest guy in the world was hiding a nameless evil, and all he wanted was you?
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?
On the run and holed up in Tulsa's Prohibition-era tunnels, Zoey and her gang must discover a way to deal with something that might bring them all down. Meanwhile, Zoey has a few other little problems. The red fledglings have cleaned up well – they've even managed to make the dark, creepy tunnels feel more like home – but are they really as friendly as they seem? On the boyfriend front, Zoey has a chance to make things right with super-hot ex-, Erik, but she can't stop thinking about Stark, the archer who died in her arms after one unforgettable night, and she is driven to try to save him from Neferet's sinister influence at all costs. Will anyone believe the power evil has to hide among us?

      In this fifth House of Night fantasy, High Priestess Zoey Redbird and her friends battle Kalona, a fallen angel determined to claim her for his own evil needs. Although intense and entertaining, this installment drops readers into Zoey's life of vampires, fledglings, and gods with little anchoring; even some returning readers may feel adrift.

      Gr 10 Up-This story picks up where "Untamed" (St. Martin's, 2008) ends. Priestess Zoey and her friends must hide in the tunnels cozied and cleaned up by Aphrodite and the now-stable Red Fledglings while Darius ensures that Stevie Rae heals from the arrow wound in her chest. With the increasingly dark Neferet and immortal, fallen Kalona ruling the House of Night, Zoey deems that their vampyre finishing school is unsafe for their return, yet she cannot escape Kalona when he invades her dream, claiming her as his own. The close proximity of the tunnels presents the perfect opportunity for Zoey and Erik to reconcile. Yet once again, love gets complicated when Heath returns and Erik's jealousy drives Zoey aboveground wherein the light of day amid a raging ice stormone of Kalona's Raven Mockers nearly kills her as she saves Heath from its attack. Forced to heal under the close proximity of adult vampyres, Zoey returns to the House of Night with a small group of her most useful and necessary friends. With their help, the prophetic poems of Red Fledgling, Kramisha, and a few unexpected characters, Zoey must find a way to expel Kalona and Neferet from the House of Night. The returning cast of characters, combined with the story's multilayered twists and turns, will not disappoint fans of the series."Adrienne L. Strock, Maricopa County Library District, AZ"
