Zoey is starting to settle into House of Night (even though she is unique even in the vampyre world). She has become the head of the Dark Daughters, but all is not well; humans are being killed and the deaths placed on the House. While she fights to protect all those she loves, a betrayal might threaten everything she has worked to achieve. This book is dark, but there is humour. Zoey’s friends are well fleshed out personalities with odd quirks, and the authors play this up well, as well as Zoey’s attempts to date.
