According to the book description of
Tempted, “So…you’d think after banishing an immortal being and a fallen High
Priestess, saving Stark’s life, biting Heath, getting a headache from Erik, and almost dying, Zoey Redbird would catch
a break. Sadly, a break is not in the House of Night school forecast for the High Priestess in training
and her gang. Juggling three guys is anything but a stress reliever, especially when one of them is a sexy
Warrior who is so into protecting Zoey that he can sense her emotions. Speaking of stress, the dark force
lurking in the tunnels under the Tulsa Depot is spreading, and Zoey is beginning to believe Stevie Rae could be responsible
for a lot more than a group of misfit red fledglings. Aphrodite’s visions warn Zoey to stay away
from Kalona and his dark allure, but they also show that it is Zoey who has the power to stop the evil immortal.
Soon it becomes obvious that Zoey has no choice: if she doesn’t go to Kalona he will exact a fiery vengeance
on those closest to her. Will Zoey have the courage to chance losing her life, her heart, and her soul?
Find out in the next spectacular installment in the House of Night Series”
According to the book description of
Untamed, “Life sucks when your friends are pissed at you. Just ask Zoey Redbird – she’s
become an expert on suckiness. In one week she has gone from having three boyfriends to having none, and from having a close
group of friends who trusted and supported her, to being an outcast. Speaking of friends, the only two Zoey has left are undead
and unMarked. And Neferet has declared war on humans, which Zoey knows in her heart is wrong. But will anyone listen to her?
Zoey's adventures at vampyre finishing school take a wild and dangerous turn as loyalties are tested, shocking true
intentions come to light, and an ancient evil is awakened in PC and Kristin Cast's spellbinding fourth House of Night novel”
According to the book description of
Chosen, “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.”
The Library Journal said of Marked,
“Grade 9 Up—In 16-year-old Zoey Redbird's world, vampyres not only exist but are also tolerated by humans. Those
whom the creatures "mark" as special enter the House of Night school where they will either become vampyres themselves,
or, if their body rejects the change, die. To Zoey, being marked is truly a blessing, though she's scared at first. She has
never fit into the human world and has always felt she is destined for something else. Her grandmother, a descendant of the
Cherokee, has always supported her emotionally, and it is she who takes the girl to her new school. But even there the teen
stands apart from the others. Her mark from the Goddess Nyx is a special one, showing that her powers are very strong for
one so young. At the House of Night, Zoey finds true friendship, loyalty, and romance as well as mistrust and deception. She
realizes that all is not right in the vampyre world and that the problems she thought she left behind exist there as well.
Readers will identify with many of the characters, especially the protagonist. The story moves quickly (a little too quickly
at the end) and purposely leaves many unresolved issues. A good choice for those libraries serving fans of the occult, but
be aware that the book contains some suggestive language and sex.”
According to the book description of
Betrayed, “Fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird has managed to settle in at the House of Night.
She’s come to terms with the vast powers the vampyre goddess, Nyx, has given her, and is getting a handle on
being the new Leader of the Dark Daughters. Best of all, Zoey finally feels like she belongs--like she really fits in. She
actually has a boyfriend…or two. Then the unthinkable happens: Human teenagers are being killed, and all the evidence
points to the House of Night. While danger stalks the humans from Zoey’s old life, she begins to realize that the very
powers that make her so unique might also threaten those she loves. Then, when she needs her new friends the most, death strikes
the House of Night, and Zoey must find the courage to face a betrayal that could break her heart, her soul, and jeopardize
the very fabric of her world.”
One reader of Betrayed
said, “Zoey Redbird is the most powerful vampyre fledgling the House of Night has ever seen. In fact, as far as anyone
knows Zoey is the most powerful fledgling in vampyre history. She has been touched by Nyx(The Goddess of Night.) It's clear
by Zoey's accelerated rate of change and ever growing abilities that she is meant for something profound. But for all that
Z still has to go through all the growing pains that come with being a teenager. She's got boys coming out of the would work.
There's her almost ex boyfriend Heath, who she's imprinted with and who's blood she craves, Zoey's Vampyre
Superman, upper classman Eric Night(yep that's really his name.) And to help complicate matters, Zoey seems to be connecting
on a very personal level with part time teacher and poet Loren Blake who is as amazing as he is forbidden. What’s a
girl to do?
Zoey has taken over leadership of the
Dark Daughters and Sons, and is determined to change the school organization from an elitist clique to a group with meaning,
value and substance. she is getting comfortable in her skin and things are getting easier to deal with. But Zoey's strength
is about to be tested again. In new and truly terrible ways. She must learn to cope with a soul deep sadness, deal with a
betrayal that cuts to the bone, and keep a promise that may turn out to be impossible.
Any doubts I had about this series
were erased with this book. This for me is one of those reads that make you grumble at being interrupted and reevaluate the
need for sleep and food, then grumble some more cause the wait till the next book(in this case Chosen in March '08) is entirely
to long. You should know that unlike most of P C's books this is not a stand alone story. You don't absolutely
have to read Marked first to understand Betrayed But it really helps and I recommend it highly. If you read Marked and weren't
thrilled with it, please reconsider and read Betrayed. It really is that good!”
According to the book description of
Goddess of the Sea, “After her plane crashes into the sea, an Air Force Sergeant finds herself
occupying the body of the mythic mermaid Undine-and falling for a sexy merman.”
One reader of Goddess of
the Sea said, “Christine Canady "CC" was an Air Force Sergeant. Forgotten on her twenty-fifth
birthday, even by her parents, she wished for a little magic in her life. Shortly afterward, her military plane crashed into
the ocean. Near death, CC thought she was hallucinating when a beautiful mermaid appeared and offered to swap bodies with
her. CC awakened to find herself in the time of Ancient Wales, where magic could still be found, and CC
quickly learned that she had a royal merman, Sarpedon, determined to wed her against her will. Gaea, Goddess of Earth (and
Undine's mother), granted CC legs to go ashore, but she must return to the sea every third night or die.
With one crazy merman in the sea, another
handsome merman in the sea, a Knight courting her on land, and a shady abbot who was always nearby, CC/Undine had troubles
galore! If you do not believe in magic, stay away from this novel. But for those of us who do believe,
or want to be convinced that magic does exist, here is the novel for you! Written like a fairy tale for adults, this book
is perfect to cuddle up with on long chilly nights or days you may be snowed in. It will whisk you away to a warm tropical
island. Wonderful light reading.”
One reader of Goddess of
Spring said, “The Goddess Demeter feels that Persephone is to immature to handle the problems in the realm
of the Dead. Carolina Santoro needs help with her bakery. She finds an old book of recipes dedicated to
the Goddess Demeter. Following a recipe she invokes Demeter. Demeter suggests that she change bodies with Persephone so the
Goddess of Spring can save her bakery and she who is more mature, can fix the problems in Hades realm. This is a wonderful
adventure full of magic, humor, and romance. The playful mix of myth and reality is stunning. I really enjoyed this book and
look forward to more.”

change all that.”
According to the book description of
Elphame’s Choice, “I was marked from birth as belonging to the Goddess Epona--but that
didn't make my life easy. Because of my "blessings," I was set apart, worshipped, unable to make real connections
with others. Then came the Feeling, and with it a glimpse of my destiny. It led me to the MacCallen castle of legend, deserted
since the terrible Fomorian war. I followed the wordless call to breathe new life into a place long dead, but I didn't realize
there were dark remnants of the war lingering in the nearby forest--victims and survivors who remained hidden. Others marked
as different, powerful. Feared. My choice was now twofold. I could keep to the happiness and safety of my newfound home, or
I could choose a path that led to something more terrible, more dangerous, more thrilling than anything I'd ever expected.”
According to the book description of
Brighid’s Quest, “Fleeing her centaur clan's increasingly militant beliefs, Brighid

friendships to guide her clan chieftain's grieving brother home. As she journeys, Brighid discovers that
the long-dormant Shaman blood that runs so thickly in her veins will no longer be silenced. As seductive new powers begin
to beckon, Brighid glimpses a future that is more impossible -- and more magical -- than any she could have dared to imagine.
But when tragedy summons her back to the Centaur Plains, Brighid must make a decision that will affect not only her
friendship with the humans, but the centaur herd and indeed the world. For the Great Goddess Epona has set her on a new path
that demands everything she has to give. When the whole world is turning to her for help, healing the heart
of a warrior doesn't sound so daunting.”
