The Best Yet

This series has had many ups and downs but so far this book is definitely my favorite.

Extremely awesome!

Well I'm a huge fan of the House of Night series, and I recommend all of the books!!! Hunted is very very very good!!!

Just as good as the others!

I read the reviews for Book 5 before deciding to buy it and because most of them were negative, I put off my purchase. However, I have just finished Book 5 and found it just as entertaining as the first four. So if you enjoy the House of Night, you'll love this one too! Don't let all the negativity scare you off.

The latest of a different vamp series

I have read all of the House of Night series. Truthfully, I'd not been aware of it until I saw the authors on TV. I got the books and started reading. Will it outdo Twilight series? No. Harry Potter? No. But is it an innovative take on vampyres? Yes. Zoey Redbird has been marked - some weird looking dude appears before her and says some weird words, and disappears. She discovers she has the outline of a crescent moon on her forehead! This means she is tapped to be a student and part of The House of Night - a school for fledgelings who will either become a vampyre, or their bodies reject the process and they die! Zoey finds friends who in various books are BFF's or giving her the cold shoulder. Zoey has found she has a great gift given to her by the goddess Nix - she can cast the circle and can call on all the elements - indeed the first book's magic - was, well, when the magic of the circle comes. Zoey's mentor and counselor is Neferet, who in my mind resembles the good witch from The Wizard of Oz - very beautiful, very powerful. Neferet is the High Priestess of The House of Night. The whole series is addictive to me - I love vamps - indeed am writing my own vamp novel based on my popular short story THIRST - but I have more questions than answers - Who pays the kids' tuition and living expenses? Aside from the undead, how do the adult vamps feed? Dixie cups? I know mixed in wine - but I want to know - The path of Neferet has been really great - from goody two shoes to oh my gosh - wanting to be all powerful consort of the immortal Kalona - whom she brought back by an ancient magic - The kids fighting back uniting in the name of following Nix. How do all of the kids when they are marked all of a sudden give up their religions and follow Nix? Although the Goddess Nix is wonderful and in book four the nuns say she is another name for the Holy Mother - Lots of everyday questions - but the series is a lot of fun and you root for all the kids who are part of Zoey's life. The additions of Native American culture is amazing and the most important element of strength that Zoey had - to learn about the Culture, and the myths, is great. I have to admit I read each book in a day - and have already ordered book six. It is a great series - I am older than what the books are intended for, but that is true of Twilighters, and Harry Potter fans. The older fans can enjoy it too. Aside from some of the questions I mentioned - and more - I love this series - Now my vamp hero is nothing like these - well maybe like Loren - although he doesn't look like Loren did - but he has the heart of a poet yet can bite you in the throat if you cross him! This makes the concept of vampire or vampyre stories so much fun - any take on them, make it believable in some magical way, and you have a winner! Got to read all the books - and read again! Excellent!

Hunted, House of Night Series

I absolutly loved every book in this series and cannot wait for the next book. These books are all well written and exciting. I have read many of the series' out there that are like this book (Sookie Stackhouse, Vampire Academy, Night World, Twilight) I highly recommened this series and love how Zoey evolves more and more in every book.

More more more!!!

This is one of the many series that i have so easily fallen in love with. One thing that kind of bugged me about it tho is the poor editing like did anyone else notice the part where they mixed up Damien and Darius? i get that they both star with a D but come on! they are two way different characters. I had to reread it like 3 times before i convinced myself it was an error and Darius wasnt turning gay and putting moves on Jack haha! Even with its imperfections, this series has an awesome story line and, like everyone else hooked on the house of night novels, I cant wait for the next book to come out!
