The only reason why I still read the books is because of Stark. I could care less about everyone else. My momma and I both agree that Zoey is a slut and that Stevie Rae and the rest are annoying. I still plan on reading the entire series, so I can tell you if anything worthwhile happens ;]
Oh! I saw a comment saying Vampire Academy was an awesome series. THEY ARE ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY right!!! I adore those books. Every single one is full of angst and awesome sauce. VA is the best!!
Don't worry I did enjoy your book review, I always do. I was planing on reading to series but is good to know that is better not to. :-). Really it is because I once started the first book and didn't like it, I was just thinking of giving the series a second chance.
Im on the 5th book, and i have to admit they are getting pretty annoying, but i would like to finished them before i make a review but i agree to everything you said :)
I couldn't agree more! I loved the house of night up until Hunted (5th book) then it just got boring and repetitive. I hated tempted I made it to chapter 4 before I checked out it was just so bad. The worst part is the book came out on my birthday and i got as a gift needless to say I was very upset. and if you don't mind REVIEW MOCKINGJAY NEXT!!!! I really wanna see your opinion of it
@dmfriend25 HEY! I KNOW YOU! *lol* I can't WAIT to review Matched! i hope to do that soon... as far as NOS maybe try a new password? Either that OR everyone can sign in through Facebook or something else... might try that. if you have further problems just shoot me an email.
Brandi, I totally AGREE with you! I got halfway through tempted and realized OMG why did I ever bother with this series. I don't even think there was one character that I actually even loved in the series. GOD. WASTE OF TIME! =.=
But anywayz, to get your mind off of HoN, have you read Clockwork Angel yet?? The prequel to Mortal Instruments??? BEST BOOK EVER!!! =D
Firstly b4 i agree with you can you review i am number four i see that hiding behind mockingjay on your desk. ok. I sooo knew you were going to bash HON lol you pulled it off amazingly lol. Me and my sister joke about it all the time we love but hate it. the character are so one dimenstional espicsally Stark Who was just put there because the authors relaised they majorly screwed up with the love itnerist thing, and then killed heath off when they had nothing to do with him anymore. Nice review
@maheshunlimited I AM NUMBER FOUR is another great book I am really impatient to share with everyone... including Mockingjay! lol I am glad you told me about Heath hahaha cuz I would have never known that! Thanks!
@BrandiMarie88 your welcome lol, The only character who had some sort of growth was aphrodite and that only lsated for the first like 4 books. Did the movie I AM number four erm sway your opion on the book? would you have felt the same if you didnt know Diana and Alex were pkaying those characters
The house of night series is just so...BORING! and STUPID! There is probably about 5 guys trying to get into Zoey's pants and it's really annoying, Zoey is a bitch!
@winkyblinky1 I know right?! I was like what is with this chick? Does she have beer flavored... i'm not going to finish that but it's from a movie lol
Has the book club be discontinued? I read marked and I know what your talking about with the guys. You made it futher that I did with the series. I only made it to "Hunted"
@kitkatt24 Book Club has not been discontinued it was just REALLY unorganized and it needed a facelift like our website did. We hope to have it up and running smoothly soon!
hahaha, i read this series and i understand where your coming from its not the best but i dont think its the worst thats out there. *SPOILER* and you said that you didnt finish the book and i think that you would have been really turned off by the ending because zoey basiclly dies at the end of that book LOL
@susie1100 No def not the worst out there but not something I personally enjoy at all. Thanks for the spoiler (which I don't mind) you are right... that totally would have turned me off :)
I KNEW IT!! Before you even told us what book you were going to review, I knew it was the House Of Night series. I feel the exact same way about this series, couldn't have described it better myself.
I was going to read this series but then I realized I didn't like Twilight anymore so then I turned away from the whole vampire thing (even though I am still writing a book about vampires -_- explain that logic).
Also I am very jealous of the owl in the background. WANT!
I see I Am Number Four and Mockingjay in the background. I really enjoyed those books (Mockingjay to a certain extent) and think it'd be awesome. Also because of the I Am Number Four movie coming out next month and I know that you are a big fan of the Hunger Games...well so am I! So yea...by the way, (yea, i didn't say btw because like you said...teens don't talk like that...even if i am typing) I totally agree with your assumption of the book and book series!
I really think you do a great job with your reviews. And yes it is fantastic to be able to express your opinion regardless of what others think. I was never impressed by this series and never really got thru many of the books. Great job:)
Oh I gave up on this series after one book. x'D I started on the second book, and after like two chapters I put my hands in the air and shouted: "NO! I WILL NOT DO THIS TO MYSELF!!"
I've read lots of other books with "modern speech", and they didn't sound as stupid as these books did.
I am not a fan of this series either! It seems cheesy and nothing really grabs me when I try to read them. I started reading them and thought they were okay because I had just moved to Tulsa and that is where the book is based. But after the first 2 i just couldn't do it anymore! lol.
Happy that you got an honest review on this train wreak of a fan fiction, wait, I mean book series. I'm sorry, but in hindsight, the books are complete and totally ramble, with no solid plot, not characters with any growth to them, plus I find Zoey to be a giant hypocrite calling Aphrodite a 'slut' 'skank' when well Aphrodite only slept with one guy, loved one guy, in her own dark way, giving it one star was nice, I give it a negative 1 million!
unfortunately... you're right. I'm so sorry to admit that.
I actually read all of them. And shared them with my best friend. She also read them and we agree: they are a waste of time. But I felt like "I started to read this series and got so far until now, so I have to go on and finnish it!" I'll read the 8th book (because I already bought it) but if nothing highly changed, I'll end this. Same thing with "Fallen": I'm sure I'm never going to read the second part!!!!!
AMEN! You just received a standing ovation from across the pond from moi.Thank you for not sugarcoating it. I started out the first book and felt my braincells protesting and stopped immediately. The main character was so vapid I was stunned. Luckily I did not buy it and waste my money. Your pov of this book was the total opposite of this youtuber who does make up vids. Hilarious. GREAT REVIEW. Major thanks for your palpable honesty.
i tried reading the house of night but really for the life of me couldn't get into it. I tell myself that i'll get back to it but really .....probably not.
I didn't like it either, I couldn't even get through chosen. I think zoey? Is that how she spells it?? needs to grow up just a little bit. Have you read Fallen? i think you did a book review on it but i can't remember. For some reason i'm not feeling it.
Great review! I've only read the first two House of Nights books but oh my the dialog drove me totally crazy! I though everyone loved the books it's nice to know someone else agrees with me! Keep all book reviews coming even if they are only one star books.
I agree 100 percent!!!!!! I was nodding my head and amening the whole time!
