Exonerated by the Vampyre High Council and returned to her position of High Priestess at Tulsa's House of Night, Neferet has sworn vengeance on Zoey. Dominion over her immortal consort Kalona is only one of the weapons she plans to use against Z. But Zoey has found sanctuary on the Isle of Skye and is being groomed by Queen Sgiach to take over for her there. Being Queen would be cool, wouldn't it? Why should she return to Tulsa? After losing her human consort, Heath, she will never be the same - and her relationship with her super-hot-warrior, Stark, may never be the same either...
And what about Stevie Rae and Rephaim? The Raven Mocker refuses to be used against Stevie Rae, but what choice does he have when no one in the entire world, including Zoey, would be okay with their relationship? Does he betray his father or his heart? In the pulse-pounding 8th book in the bestselling House of Night series, how far will the bonds of friendship stretch and how strong are the ties that bind one girl's heart?
My Opinion: It has spoilers!
Awakened is the eighth book of House of Night's sequel. As amazing as it sounds, the story still surprises me in every turn of pages.
P.C. and Kristin Cast stretched out their horizons and wrote our delight story from other character's point of view. For example we have chapters destined to Jack's (Zoey's gay friend), Neferet's (Hight Priestest that turns her back to the Goddess) and Linda's (Zoey's mother) side of the story.
It's a win-win game, because there's no way that the reader gets bored while reading.
Zoey and Stark (her Warrior, Guardian, Boyfriend) decide to stick around the Isle of Skye for a few days, in order to recover their energies from the exhausting trip into the realm of Nyx.
However reality doesn't take long to succumb over their souls. Soon they start receiving calls from their freinds. They get to know that Jack is preparing a whole welcoming party - he has organized the events, he has made the decoration and he even is planing to sing 'Defying Gravity - Glee'.
I suspect that Jack has an afinity with Spirit (the purple element), but the book doesn't really mention it.
His soul is uncapable of being tainted, due to that fact Neferet kills him using his essence to pay her debts to Darkness. He dies with honour, defying gravity 'till the very end.
Damien (Jack's boyfriend) and Duchess (Jack's dog) break down and surrender to tears. Erik also cries for his dorm's partner death.
Neferet keeps looking for stronger and invincible weapons to start a war with humans. She has recently allied with the embodiment of Darkness - a white bull.
Kalona (a fallen angel that fell for his sin - obsession), after failing his mission to kill Zoey while her soul was shattered in the realm of Nyx, desperatly tries to break his oath with Neferet. When he realizes that his immortal being has never really belonged to her, he reclaimes his own freedom and walks the lonely path of rejection.
Kalona's favourite son - Rephaim - faces two harsh choices, whether to remain by his father's side (like he always has) or pay his life debt to Stevie Rae.
Meanwhile, Heath is given three choices for his future: 1) remain inside Nyx's domain, living a fake hapiness that slowly washes away his human memories; 2) the chance to live again, with a different body/memories/story; 3) incorporate the Vessel (named Aurox) that Neferet is summoning - as her brand new weapon. Excited with the thought of seeing Zoey once again, he choses the latter.
Since the murder of Anastasia, Dragon is in the middle of a crossroad, whether he joins Zoey's team to avoid a war with humans or let his rage take over control, not fulfilling his mate's promise.
All in all, I got to highlight the splendid writing style/ideas that these two american girls have.
I 'heart' P.C. and Kristin Cast!!!
