This series just keeps getting better and better. The Casts are fearless about adding new dimensions to their beloved characters. I admire the creativity of their world--it's extremely well thought out and cohesive while blazing new paths in the vampirie realm. I really can't praise this series enough.
The drama was way more engaging, the characters more interesting. I feel like more things were explained, & things are starting to take shape. Personally, my favorite part is that Zoey, the main character, messes up completely while in a love triangle... Well it's more of a square... anyway she messes up, and she realizes that she's gullible and a bit stupid. Finally a dumb character who admits to it.
Zoey’s hormones get pulled every which way with:
a) Human imprinted partner, Heath (who she intends breaking up with but instead has a hot ‘n’ heavy make-out session with)
b) Erik, her handsome fledgling boyfriend (who she wants to come clean with about her roaming eye but instead ends up having hot ‘n’ heavy make-out sessions with)
c) Loren Blake, temporary teacher (who she wants to break up with but as he apparently makes her "feel like a woman", she inevitably ends up...yep...you got it...having hot 'n' heavy make-out sessions with) who she thought loved her but he was just using her to find out what she knows. I just find it sickening that Zoey is supposed to be this strong, smart, independent young woman, yet, she's not intelligent enough to not have sex with a grown man!
So in the midst of all this mind-numbing drama, Zoey is also trying to find a way to restore some semblance of normality into the life of her friend Stevie Rae, who died and changed into a snarling, undead creature. Along the way she has to keep secrets from her nerd-herd and rely on the reluctant assistance of foe-turned-friend, Aphrodite.
