Betrayed, Chosen, and Untamed by P.C. and Kristin Cast

     Today I am going to give my reviews for the next three books in the House of Night Series by P.C. and Kristin Cast (books 2, 3, and 4). Book 2, Betrayed, was definitely a really solid follow up book to the first. The first book in the series was the get to know you book, and this one was the get to know the bad guy book (as well as the let’s take control book, and the Zoey is kind of a ho book). There is still a good deal of introducing characters, but more so than that, there is some shit that goes down that you are just not expecting to happen. This was definitely a cliff hanger ending book. I’m giving this book a four. It was a really good read, and really took you a little bit further into what the story is going to be about. This one doesn’t really give you the whole picture though, it hints at what is to come. Amazon US Amazon UK

     The next book in the series, Chosen, was when shit really starting hitting the fan (excuse the expression) between most of the characters. For the most part, this book was just drama, drama, drama. Zoey is still in the midst of a tryst, and her friends are not liking the secrets she’s been hiding (or the fact that she’s keeping secrets from them at all). This book gets a three from me. There was a good amount of character development in this story, but for the most part there was just a lot of bickering between friends, bickering between lovers, and more drama. Amazon US Amazon UK

     Book four, Untamed, has been my favorite so far. Stuff finally starts happening in this book that you have been waiting for (since the first book basically). The ending (a good chunk of the ending actually) was very gripping. I know I was supposed to be going to sleep when I finished it, but it left me wired in that post book with (ANOTHER!!) cliffhanger ending feeling. This book is 4.5 worthy. The characters come out of their shells a lot more, and you get a much better sense of who the characters really are. There is a lot more action in this book than in the last three, and a lot of things that set the stage for the rest of the book continue to come out in this one. While all of these books have been setting you up for what’s probably coming (even I don’t know yet for sure), this one really gets you into the thick of things. Amazon US Amazon UK
