The bestselling series has returned! Join P.C. and Kristin Cast in celebrating the tenth anniversary of the House of Night series by going on a thrilling new adventure with your beloved Nerd Herd.
It’s Zoey’s eighteenth birthmas and the Nerd Herd has been scattered across the country busily adulting for almost a year when Stark calls them back to Tulsa to surprise Z. But all is not well in T-town. Strange, dark signs are appearing—could it be possible Neferet is stirring? Not willing to chance disaster striking again, Zoey calls on her newly reunited friends to circle with her and add a layer of protection over Neferet’s grotto jail. Easy-peasy, right?
Wrong. Nothing at the House of Night is ever as it seems.
With rabid red vampyres closing in, Zoey and the Nerd Herd must come together again and battle evil. But a year is a long time. Have these old friends grown too far apart?
When the world fractures and allies become enemies, will darkness devour friendships or will light save those she’s loved?
An alternate world to Zoey’s world where everything is wrong? That’s not good.
Loved by PC and Kristen Cast was an excellent book for the ten-year anniversary of the House of Night Series, last year. This book has been on my TBR for a while now, and I am glad that I finally read it. It was nice to go back to this world; it made me feel like going home to visit all my friends again. There is a refreshing twist to the book, and I loved it. I hope everything turns out great in the end for Zoey and the Nerd Herd.
What I liked about this book:
- At the very beginning of it before the story, there is a way to reconnect with the characters and some questions were answered by the authors. I thought that was the best as it was a great refresher course without having to reread the House of Night series.
- There was a lot of different point-of-views similar to the House of Night books toward the end of the series, and I adore that. I think it helps us understand some of the hardships in this alternate world for the vampyres and fledglings.
- Having the Nerd Herd back is fantastic, and I hope everything works out for them in the end.
- This book is perfect for anyone to jump in the series here or for those of us that have read the first series to come back too.
What I disliked about this book:
What I disliked about this book was the fact that Zoey still doesn’t swear until she gets pissed. I also didn’t like the fact that she just stopped talking to her younger brother.
What I am curious about for the next book:
I am hoping that we can actually see the other world and that somehow it will get better.
Five Stars
Loved by PC and Kristin Cast is a superb book to celebrate the tenth anniversary of this world, and start us off with a new journey for Zoey and the Nerd Herd. This book kept me guessing, and I suprisingly liked it more than the first series. I can’t wait to read Lost and look forward to the other books that PC and Kristen Cast have in the works for this new series. My rating is five-stars since it kept me entertained and engaged. I wanted to know more about the characters and could not get them out of my mind. And I recommend Loved by PC and Kristin Cast to anyone that loves vampires.
Anyways until the next time enjoy this review brought to you by

I’m trying to purchase two of P.C. Cast’s books:
Loved with the rose on the cover and
A Rage Of Storms that was released February 2020
Where can I obtain them for my granddaughter?
Thank you for helping.
If you have an Amazon account you can look there for these two titles. I am unsure if they will have the rose cover of Loved though. There is also Barnes and Noble or you can look at the Casts site to see if they sell the books on their site. I hope this is helpful to you.
