Marked – Betrayed – Chosen – Untamed – Hunted

Oh my! This is my favorite one yet. This is the fifth book in the House of Night series and I absolutely loved it.

Zoey Redbird is a vampire fledgling touched by the Goddess Nyx. Only being marked for a few months, Zoey has to save the world. With the help of her friends, Damien (air), Shaunee (fire), Erin, (water), and Stevie Rae (earth), Zoey (spirit) can do it. The whole House of Night has become under the spell of Kalona, a fallen angel gone bad, really bad. Neferet is or was the High Priestess but has turned her back on Nyx and went to Kalona instead. Not only does Zoey have to fight the lure of Kalona but she has juggle her feelings for Eric, Heath (the human), and Stark (the recently dead undead). Stark is or was possibly her soul mate the way they both clicked on his first night there. Of course he died then too. Now Zoey has to remind him that he has choices and can choose good over evil but it has to be his choice. Heath can’t seem to leave Zoey alone since they grew up together. It helps that his blood is irresistible to Zoey. Eric has forgiven her for being with Loren and wants her forgiveness for being a jerk. What is she going to do about all them.

After one of the Red Fledglings wrote a prophecy poem on humanity, Zoey thinks its about Stark. Being attacked by one of the Raven Mockers leads Zoey back to the House of Night to keep from dying. Once she is better the following day, the whole group has decided that they have to leave and leave now. One of the other poems written was how to cast Kalona aside only it was in poem form and they have to decipher it.

Will Zoey and her gang get away from Kalona? Can she keep from being put under his spell like the others?Is War with the humans imminent?

I have watched all these people grow from simple fledglings to the powerful group they are now. I  love all of Zoey’s boyfriends and don’t know how she can choose only one. Stark has the cocky boy additude, Eric is the best of the best, and Heath is her comfort since they have been together since grade school. This book kept me on the edge of my loveseat from beginning to end. I think that this one is the best so far and can’t wait until the next book, Tempted, comes out. This is a definately must read. Even knowing what happens I still read them again and again.
