Wow, it is finally getting somewhere!
Revealed by PC and Kristin Cast I will be doing my review for the three books that came before this one. I hope won’t confuse anyone that is reading this review. If it does please let me know and I will answer any questions you might have.
Awakened, House of Night #8

Exonerated by the Vampyre High Council and returned to her position of High Priestess at Tulsa’s House of Night, Neferet has sworn vengeance on Zoey. Dominion over her immortal consort Kalona is only one of the weapons she plans to use against Z. But Zoey has found sanctuary on the Isle of Skye and is being groomed by Queen Sgiach to take over for her there. Being Queen would be cool, wouldn’t it? Why should she return to Tulsa? After losing her human consort, Heath, she will never be the same – and her relationship with her super-hot-warrior, Stark, may never be the same either… And what about Stevie Rae and Rephaim? The Raven Mocker refuses to be used against Stevie Rae, but what choice does he have when no one in the entire world, including Zoey, would be okay with their relationship? Does he betray his father or his heart?
So for the eighth book that one was called Awakened, it takes place a while after the last one. Zoey is back from the Otherworld with Stark and with Kalona back in his own body. Let’s just say that this is another filler book. But this is one has a sad ending and I mean really sad. I can’t believe that the Casts would kill poor Jack Twist. But yeah sorry about that spoiler but anyone that has read that book would know it.
Destined, House of Night #9

Also in this series: Marked, Betrayed, Chosen, Untamed, Hunted , Tempted, Burned, Redeemed
Zoey is finally home where she belongs, safe with her Guardian Warrior, Stark, by her side, and preparing to face off against Neferet – which would be a whole lot easier if the High Counsel saw the ex-High Priestess for what she really is. Kalona has released his hold on Rephaim, and, through Nyx's gift of a human form, Rephaim and Stevie Rae are finally able to be together – if he can truly walk the path of the Goddess and stay free of his father's shadow…
But there are new forces at work at the House of Night. An influx of humans, including Lenobia's handsome horse whisperer, threatens their precarious stability. And then there's the mysterious Aurox, a jaw-droppingly gorgeous teen boy who is actually more – or possibly less – than human. Only Neferet knows he was created to be her greatest weapon. But Zoey can sense the part of his soul that remains human, the compassion that wars with his Dark calling. And there's something strangely familiar about him…
Will Neferet's true nature be revealed before she succeeds in silencing them all? And will Zoey be able to touch Aurox's humanity in time to protect him – and everyone – from his own fate? Find out what's destined in the next thrilling chapter of the House of Night series.
The ninth book was called Destined. That one is also another filler book. I feel like all of these books are mostly filler books. Anyways this book we find out that Neferet is really evil that she kills Zoey’s mom because her mom has blood from a Native American woman that was basically an Elder. Zoey’s grandma was but she couldn’t find her. Now from that blood we get a creature that is basically a boy but turns into a bull. I know weird right? I feel bad for Zoey in this book since her mom started to realize that maybe her daughter was right about her husband after all but at least she was happy about what she did before her life had ended.
Hidden, House of Night #10

At last, Zoey has what she wanted: the truth is out. Neferet's evil has been exposed, and the High Council is no longer on her side - but she's far from done wreaking havoc in the vampyre world. First, a mysterious fire ravages the stables. Then, Neferet makes a devastating move that will test them all.
With the seeds of distrust sown and Darkness breeding chaos at the House of Night, everyone must band together - but that's proving to be more difficult than ever before. The twins are barely speaking and the House of Night's former enemy, Kalona, has now become their warrior, pushing their trust to the limit. To top it off, Zoey is pretty darn sure she might be losing her mind. She saw something when she looked at Aurox through the Seer Stone that she can hardly explain to herself, let alone her friends. Is it possible that Heath has come back in a different form? Is that why Zoey's so intrigued by Aurox, when it's so obvious that he's dangerous? And who would believe her if she told them? Zoey knows that following her instinct about Aurox might be just what they need to defeat evil . . . but if she's wrong, it could cause the destruction of those closest to her.
With the tension at a breaking point and friendships on the line, can the nerd herd come together to stop the spread of Darkness before it's too late?
The tenth book was called Hidden and it isn’t entirely a filler one. In this one thing’s get interesting because Zoey and her group of friends have tried to get rid of Neferet. Sadly one of Zoey’s friends Erin turned her back on the Goddess and turned to Darkness just to date Dallas. That didn’t turn out well for anyone in Zoey’s group of friends. With Erin turning her back on the Goddess, and in turn Zoey, the group doesn’t have their water affinity fledging anymore. In this book I believe Kalona became the Oath Bound Warrior to Thanatos and Aurox. Just as a recap Aurox is the creature that was created becuase of Zoey’s mom getting murdered. Kalona put his faith back into the Goddess Nyx. Oh and Aurox has Heath’s soul in him. See I told you he was weird.

Revealed is the spellbinding eleventh and penultimate installment in the #1 New York Times bestselling vampyre series by PC and Kristin Cast.
Drastically altered after her fall at the end of Hidden, Neferet is now more dangerous than ever—and her quest for vengeance will wreak havoc on humans, as well as Zoey and her friends. Chaos is loosed in Tulsa and the House of Night is blamed. Can Zoey stop Neferet in time to keep her anger from escalating to full-on war? Or will someone else have to step in to take the fall?
The House of Night series is an international phenomenon, reaching #1 on U.S., German, and UK bestseller lists, and remaining a fixture on The New York Times Children's Series bestseller list for nearly 150 weeks and counting. With more than 12 million copies in print, rights sold in thirty–eight countries to date, and relatable, addictive characters, this series is unstoppable. Now, in the eleventh and penultimate installment of the series, the action is more intense and the stakes even higher as Zoey and her friends battle to protect their school and home from devastating evil—all while balancing romances, precarious friendships and the daily drama of the House of Night's halls.
Now in this book we have Zoey and her group of friends stuck in the House of Night. Neferet, being evil, killed Aphrodite’s dad who is the Mayor of Tulsa and no one is allowed to leave. We have a lot of death’s in the book. They were Erin, Aphrodite’s dad, Dallas, Elliot, the other kid that Elliot went to the front of the school to put his loyalty to Dallas, and two humans. This book was actually quite good. We have had quite a lot of stuff happen in here. I feel like some relationships might have been rushed a bit too much in this book.
Five Stars
Also I give this book a five star because I actually think that it was good and better than the other filler books that we got stuck with in the past. Might be because it’s the second to last book in the series. Though between us book fans I actually like Shaylin since she has an interesting back story and actually doesn’t seem so Mary-Sueish like Zoey. Granted Zoey did do somethings that I won’t spoil on that has redeemed herself in my mind. But yes this is it I hope you like this review!
