Book Review: Dragon's Oath: A House of Night Novella by PC and Kristin Cast

Dragon's Oath by P.C. Cast
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I haven't read a House of Night novel in a long time, so reading this one was kind of refreshing. I liked the growing relationship between Anastasia and Dragon, is was cute tbh. I liked the magic and stuff that happened in it.

The relationship between Dragon and Anastasia was really cute, really snarky at times, but they loved each other. So that was really cute to read. I also liked how Anastasia did the spells as cool, calm and collected, all the white Dragon protected her. It was very cute and very romantic, all the way up to the end, when it jumped back to the present day, where Dragon swore to find her again when he died. (as you can tell, I wrote this in my book journal so things are going to repeat themselves, and I'm sorry about that).

The one thing I really didn't like was the fact that Kalona's Raven Mocker was in the book, controlling the human. It almost felt like I was reading a weird chapter of an old anime fanfiction I used to read when I was in middle school/high school or something like that. I loved this book as a teenager, but as an adult it was an eh. The Dragon x Anastasia story was cute, tbh.

Book Review: Awakened, a House of Night Novel by P.C. and Kristen Cast

Awakened by P.C. Cast
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My god...this book, this book, this book...hell, this world basically....I missed it so much when I picked it up. This book made me have so many feels, from the death of someone to Neferet being a bitch, and the Kalona and Rephaim plan to betray Neferet because they realize that Neferet never had any control over him at all....

But let's talk about Jack's death-the death that just...just hurts so much. The boy was innocent, waiting on Zoey to come home that he made a whole bunch of origamis for her, and he wanted to sing the Glee version of Defying Gravity, but now he can't since Neferet used him as a bloody sacrifice to Darkness. And Damien...I felt sorry for Damien when he found the body, and Stevie Rae knew that Neferet did it, but didn't know how. Thus the reason why Zoey came back from the Isle of Skye, though she didn't want to because of her conscience (I believe) along with her Warrior and Guardian Stark (in which I ship them 110%).

And the relationship between Rephaim and Stevie Rae, though how secret it can be, came out at Jack's funeral (thanks Neferet for coming in and pretending that she forgive her and all that jazz-which were *Kathy Bates voice* LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIESSSSSSSSSSSS) but then when Nyx showed up after she tried to out Zoey and told Damien that Jack was happy in her gardens and that he'll see her again, turning Rephaim into a raven by day and a boy by night, giving Dragon the choice to forgive Rephaim for the death of his love Anastasia, ant giving Neferet a chance to come back to the right path of the Goddess (but honestly, I wish she didn't do it because she didn't do it).

And then the death of Zoey's mother, Linda...I shed some tears when I read that death, because once again, it was uncalled for, Neferet wanted to kill Zoey's grandmother after she basically took over House of Night again, and all because she wanted a vessel....which had Heath's soul in it, making him reincarnated in the vessel now called Aurox (which is the most stupidest name I've ever heard).

I really enjoyed this book and I want to get the rest of the books and read more because I honestly missed this world so much.

Book Review: Burned, a House of Night Novel by P.C. and Kristin Cast

Burned by P.C. Cast
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Zoey's soul has shattered as soon as she saw Kalona kill her human consort, Heath Luck...in which I gasped and called him a jerk-off for doin' that, but as I digress, her soul has shattered and she's wondering around with Heath, who's trying to get her soul back. In the real world, tho...Neferet, being the TOTAL bitch from hell, tells Kalona to go to the Otherworld to make sure Zoey don't come back. (shall I laugh from this? Shall I? Yes, yes I shall).

So the rest of the gang that are there in Italy-Aphrodite, Darius, Stark, Shaunee, Erin, Jack and Damien, are trying to find a way to get Stark to the Otherworld to bring Zoey back-and the only way how is for Stark to die. So they go to this place where this totally awesome warrior queen and her Guardian told him that they can help him get to the Otherworld to bring Zoey back-and stop Kalona from carrying out Neferet's evil plan. (Once again, shall I laugh at this?) Even though Stark had to fight himself first to get through and find Zoey, it was worth it, even though the painful part of it was that he had to tell Heath to let go of Zoey.

In Tulsa, though...Stevie Rae, the current Red High Priestess, found Rephaim and saved him. Like..saved him, saved him. She kept him underground for a while, thinkin' that he'll be safe, but NOPE THAT DIDN'T WORK, NOW DID IT?! Reason why is because of the rouge red fledglings wanted to kill Stevie Rae, but somehow Rephaim saved her, making her break her Imprint with Aphrodite and imprinted with him. Then she hid him in an old house that was filled with spirits, and she herself summoned the wrong bull (gee, thanks Aphrodite for not tellin' her which bull was Darkness and which bull was Light) and Rephaim saved her from that by giving himself up for her, which I thought was really sweet. Then...then the thing happened with Dallas/Stevie Rae/Rephaim where Dallas went through the change and almost attacked the Raven Mocker. But thank god he didn't (though I would really wanna see that fight...)

So back in the Otherworld, once Stark told Heath to let go of Zoey and to move on, Kalona appeared and the two of them started to fight and Zoey finally put the pieces of her soul back, and she told Kalona to pay up. Kalona said no I won't do it, then Nyx appeared and forced him to do it, bringing Stark back to life. Then Stark fed from Zoey, and her tattoos and her elements came back to her, healing Stark and then they came back to the real world.

Honestly? This is an amazing book with a bunch of twists and turns and I really do recommend this a lot.

Book Hypothesis: Burned, a House of Night Novel by P.C. and Kristin Cast

Hello y'all!

I know I haven't posted anything up lately because I've been worried about school and stuff, and Christmas is coming up and that I'm done with Tempted (the novel before this one), I decided to do two posts in one-so let's get started with this book hypothesis of Burned!

So at the end of Tempted ***sounds like Sheldon Cooper: "PLEASE! SPOLIER ALERT!"**** Zoey's soul has shattered. Like....it broke into TINY TINY PEICES when someone that I can't name died...thanks to a CERTAIN FALLEN ANGEL. So what do I think will happen in Burned?

Well...

1. Zoey won't die. 
2. Stevie Rae finds some way to get to her friend. 
3. Aphrodite and Darius are still going strong
4. NEFERET DIES A PAINFUL DEATH

Tempted by P.C. Cast
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

OH. MY. GAWD.

THIS BOOK. I CAN'T.

From the banishment of Kalona and Neferet (I really, REALLY hate her), to Darius and Aphrodite sharing a beautiful moment (my OTP for life), and Zoey and the gang going to Venice to talk to the Vampyre High Council, then when Heath died (R.I.P. Heath....BECAUSE RIGHT NOW I CAN'T WITH WHAT KALONA DID!!) it was just a whirlwind of action.

I was skeptical of Rephaim and kept wondering why Stevie Rae kept him alive, but then when he saved her from almost getting burned, thanks to those rouge red fledglings....I hope as I keep reading that he turns out to be on the good side, and not look for his STUPID DADDY.

But I loved this book all the way up to the end and I can't wait to read more!!!!
