Search - Untamed (House of Night, Bk 4)

This book was just not as good as the first three. The time line of the book really got to me. I find it hard to believe that all of the things Zoey and her friends went through happened in two measly months! The other thing that annoyed me was Zoey's flip-flopping between all of her "boyfriends". Her hormones definitely needed toning down and I just didn't want to read about it anymore. The plot was interesting, but I'm getting to the point where I am not starting to care about what is happening. I'm not as anxious to read the next book as I was previously.

This is the fourth book in the House of Night series and was by far the best book of the series. It is the only book in the series so far that I have felt comfortable saying I really liked it and enjoyed the story.

With the murders of the teachers in the third book things are beginning to come to a head in this book. Zoey is out of boyfriends, so to speak, so of course she is absolutely enchanted by the new kid in school, Stark. With Stevie Rae somewhat her normal self, she takes a back seat in this story but still plays a few big parts as a new type of vampire. The mythos developed in this story around the evil Nefertiti was engaging and very interesting. Nefertiti is here in all her evil glory; and man is she evil.

Zoey without boyfriends is awesome because Zoey is actually focused on the actual plot and this makes for a way more interesting book than the last one was. So, for everyone who hung on with the series despite the barely okay third book, you are rewarded in this book. Things really come to a climax in this book; it makes me extremely grateful that I have book 5 on hand. Things pretty much end in the middle of everything and if you had to wait for the 5th book to come out you would be pulling your hair out.

So, all in all, this was a great book. I hope that things continue to be as good in the fifth book. I love the characters; the writing quality is still mediocre at best, but it is a fun and quick read.

I read this book in one night when I snagged it at Wal-Mart two days before it was released. I love the references that PC & Kristen make to actors and other writers. They are so great! I hope they end up making the House of Night series at LEAST 100 books! Since JK Rowling let us down with only 7, and Stephanie Meyer with only 4, come on Cast's!! Bring on the Zoey!

More intrigue as the young priestess grows in power and learns more truths about what the future holds and in whom she can place trust and whom she cannot. Terrific swift paced read in the on going saga of the house of night.

Love this series

good book, but I. Liked the vampire acdemey a little better
