Burned, of P.C. and Kristin Cast

Plot:
Things have turned black at the House of Night. Zoey Redbird's soul has shattered. With everything she's ever stood for falling apart, and a broken heart making her want to stay in the Otherworld forever, Zoey's fading fast. It seems more and more doubtful that she will be able to pull herself back together in time to rejoin her friends and set the world right. As the only living person who can reach her, Stark must find a way to get to her. But how? He will have to die to do so, the Vampire High Council stipulates. And then Zoey will give up for sure. There are only 7 days left... Enter BFF Stevie Rae. She wants to help Z but she has massive problems of her own. The rogue Red Fledglings are acting up, and this time not even Stevie Rae can protect them from the consequences. Her kinda boyfriend, Dallas, is sweet but too noisy for his own good. Then truth is, Stevie Rae's hiding a secret that might be the key to getting Zoey home but also threatens to explode her whole world. In the middle of the whole mess is Aphrodite: ex-Fledgling, human, trust-fund baby, total hag from Hell (and proud of it). She's always been blessed (if you could call it that) with visions that can reveal the future, but now it seems Nyx has decided to speak through her with the goddess's own voice, whether she wants it or not. Aphrodite's loyalty can swing a lot of different ways, but right now Zoey's fate hangs in the balance.
Three girls... playing with fire... if they don't watch out, everyone will get Burned.

My opinion:
In the seventh book of HON sequel we can 'embody' many more character's perspectives, such as, the almighty Kalona.
As it is said in the plot, we have three different 'intrigues' going on, linked by friendship bonds.
The main one is about Zoey. At the moment, she is inside Nyx's realm, also called the Otherworld - a place where souls are trapped and unable to move on, due to unfinished businesses left behind on Earth.
Zoey isn't dead! But that's a truth that Neferet definitely wants to eliminate. That's the reason why she sends her lover - Kalona - to the Otherworld, trapping his body with webs, made of darkness.
Pieces of Zoey's soul are scattered through Nyx's realm. She better re-unite them before her body starts to perish, but it's a harsh task to accomplish, especially after witnessing her consort's death - Heath.
In one way or another, Stark succeeds and enters into Nyx's realm. First of all, he needs to find Heath and tell him that he must move on to a better place - Heaven-, where he can rest in peace, and also help Zoey to re-join her lost soul pieces.
However it turns out to be the other way around. Right before Heath leaves Nyx's domain, he promises to return to Zoey, no matter what, in this life or in the next one.
Stark also comes up with a prophecy that turns out to be a map about how to return to the real world, while fighting against Kalona.
Zoey finally recovers her sanity and (all alone) she puts together all her missing soul pieces. Meanwhile Stark is fighting against the immortal being, and transforms himself into a Guardian - Shaman.
Both of them return home safe and sound.

Stevie Rae's story is the one that excited me the most.
Rephaim pays back his life debt, by saving Stevie Rae from being toasted under the sunlight. And both of them accidently create an Imprint! Which also proves that the Darkness inside Rephaim's body can be controlled.
The fact that Rephaim discovers the true meaning of love is a pretty moving chapter.
Despite of being born out of a violent and cruel act of rape, Rephaim has the Free Will to choose between his father's path (Kalona - Fallen Angel - Immortal) or standing by Stevie Rae's side.
Being two sides of the same coin, Rephaim and Stevie Rae help each other, find out a way of getting back, both Zoey and Kalona alive.
When the mission is finally accomplished, they face an inconvenient truth. Their love might not be accepted neither by the figure of Light nor by Darkness.

All in all, it was an enjoyable book to read, filled with ups and downs, just like a rollercoaster. I hope this sequel NEVER ENDS!
Thank you very much, P.C.and Kristin Cast you have made my teenage life more interesting every minute that goes by.
