From Macmillan:

Dark forces are at work at the House of Night and fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird’s adventures at the school take a mysterious turn. Those who appear to be friends are turning out to be enemies. And oddly enough, sworn enemies are also turning into friends. So begins the gripping third installment of this “highly addictive series” (Romantic Times), in which Zoey’s mettle will be tested like never before. Her best friend, Stevie Rae, is undead and struggling to maintain a grip on her humanity. Zoey doesn’t have a clue how to help her, but she does know that anything she and Stevie Rae discover must be kept secret from everyone else at the House of Night, where trust has become a rare commodity. Speaking of rare: Zoey finds herself in the very unexpected and rare position of having three boyfriends. Mix a little bloodlust into the equation and the situation has the potential to spell social disaster. Just when it seems things couldn’t get any tougher, vampyres start turning up dead. Really dead. It looks like the People of Faith, and Zoey’s horrid step-father in particular, are tired of living side-by-side with vampyres. But, as Zoey and her friends so often find out, how things appear rarely reflects the truth…

Admittedly I enjoyed but didn't love either the first or second books in the series but I did enjoy the buildup enough to pick up this, the third installment in the "House of Night" series. Book two was not quite as interesting as the first but it did introduce a great character in Loren Blake. I wanted to see what came of this relationship and I'm not quite sure what to make of the happenings. It seems a bit pushed, as if he was simply dropped into the story to move the plot and though that's fine, it feels out of place within this story - I would have liked more character development. Add in the fact that Zoey continues to be unchanging and other than discovering more of her powers, her character doesn't seem to be maturing.

Sadly, the novel ends on a bit of a cliffhanger so guess what? I'm hooked in for #4. I've resolved that
