They do after Griffin tells her that he never lied in court about whose fault it was for stealing the things they were stealing, but that his parents told the judge that their son was lying. And his parents and Nicole parents took the fall and they haven´t seen them since.

At the day of the race all the kids at school´s power is grounded so no one will cheat. Phoebe is very nervous for the race, but just before the race Troy gives her a frindship/lucky charm bracelet. When the race is almost finished there is only Phoebe and another girl upfront and Phoebe is so tired. She suddenly sees all her frineds includong Cesca and Nola at the finish line, and to get extra boost she thinks about her dad and is now leading the race. But just before the finish line Phoebe doesn´t feel tired and there is a supernatural glow and Phoebe know she has cheated now and that it was because of the bracelet Troy gave her. She is really mad and confronts Troy after, but he tells her they can´t give their powers to others, but she tells him she wont talk to him when he is lying. Damian tells her he needs to talk to her and that she later has permission to tells Cesca and Nola about the Gods. She comes into the office at the school after the race and her coach, her mom and Damian is there and they tell her that because when she in the beginning of trying out to the running team could put up with her coach, they started investigate Phoebe because it is not possible for a mortal to keep up with a descendant of god like she did, and that they then came to that Phoebe is a descendant of Nike - The goddess of victory - and have godly blood. She kniws that her dad was a football player and dies suddenly on the field under a game, but Damian tells her it was because he used his powers and that it wasn´t allowed in the normal world for descendants of gods to do that so they killed him. But she still doesn´t understand why she could use her powers when tey were grounded, but her mom and Damian tells her it is because she is so close to Nike, since her father was Nike´s grandson and the closer you are to the source the stronger the powers are. She after tells her 2 friends everything and they tells her that they have choosen to go to different college than the one they had planned together. The next day her friends go home Phoebe goes running and Griffen is behind her when she stops and he knows about her descedant. He tells her that before he was born her mother visited a oracle who told her that: her son would find his match in a daughter of victory. - Who is Phoebe. At last Phoebe decide to stay another year, so she the year after can go to Oxford in England with Griffin. And her mom and Damian get married.

This was a really good book. It was a fun and quick book. I like the greek and the god part of the story. And it is pretty cool that they can ground their powers. i also liked how the author made the Greek Mythology and the normal teenage life mixed together. Like if you are like a beautifull godess you are popular and such things.
Sometimes i thought i needed som information: like what is Damian doing on the school?, and then there is one line and the next one doesn´t fit in my head. Like asking who are they, and then they aren´t even discriped before answering. The book definently didn´t have enough explaining of places/person look, i could really have used that because you didn´t really get a picture of how the character looked. For me i was actually pretty sure in the when i started the book, that Phoebe would get some sort of powers and she did.

When she does there is something crashing on the other side of the door, but Scout only tells her that she is a member of a club for gifted kids.

By Thursday Lily is called into the headminister Foley´s office, where she tells Lily that she knows her parents and there genetic research, but Lily knows that it aren´t that kind of research so she is confused. Is there something that her parents haven´t told her? Or is Foley confused? That night when Scout goes The Brat Pack: Amie - one of her roommates, Veronica and M.K ask her if she wanna come down in the basement and see their stash of candy, mangasines etc. (Because the school is organic) Lily knows that they aren´t nice to her by purpose, but goes with them anyway. When thay get down in the basement Veronica opens a room, that used to be a janitors office and in there is a big replica of Chicago. The Pact locks Lily in there, but she finds a key in the room and goes on out to investigate the basement. Suddenly she sees Jason and Scout running and that there is 2 persons after them. They all start to run but Lily falls and suddenly she is face to face with the 2 people: The girl with the hoddie and a boy, and the boy throws some green thing from his hands that collides with Lily and it all goes dark.

Next time Lily wakes up she is at a clinic with Scout and a little while after Jason and Michael comes. Scout tells her that she was hit by a firespell, and that some people have magic - Those people are called the Dark Elite - but there is different kinds of magic. The magic begins to show in the puberty, but along the way you get crazy by having magic and when you do you have to suck souls to not become crazy if you want to keep using the magic. The 2 people who followed them where Alex and Sebastian, who is members of the group called The Reaper who soul suck people, people who are extra vulnerable. Scout - who is a spellbinder, Michael and Jason call themself Adepts. They have magic too, but they have choosen not to soul suck, so when they are about 25 they are going to give up magic. They tell that The Reaper´s finds kids with magic and tries to make them see their way, while Scout and the others try to get them to give up magic, by finding them and protecting them from The Reaper´s finding them. When they are about to leave Lily ask to talk to Jason alone, and ask him who growl before she got hit, he tells her that as she know they each got different kind of magic, but that he is different. His eyes change colours and Lily think that it have wolf to it, and then he leaves.

When Lily gets home the next day, she takes a shower and discovers a mark on her back from the spell that hit her and it isn´t just a bruise it is like a tatoo, but she doens´t tell Scout. The next day Veronica and Amie ask her if she wants to go to the mall and she goes with them. While being there they meet a guy Veronica knows named John Creed who is with Jason, but Lily kind of ignores him. Scout finds out about her gonig out with the 2 others when they get back and she gets mad and thinks that their friendship is over, but then Lily shows her, her mark and by night Scout drags Lily to a meeting in the tunnels under Chicago that starts in the basement under the school with 7 other Adept including Michael and Jason. But they are all dismissive of Lily, because she hasn´t gotten any powers. The next day in the lunch period when Lily and Scout are out in a store buying some ice, Lily meets Derek the one working at the shop and Scout tells Lily after that he had ones been Soul Sucked on. When they get back to the school Jason is there and he apologize for agreeing with the other yesterday, saying that he cares about her and he doesn´t want her mixed up in this and when she ask if he is a wolf he comfirms that he is. Later that day when Lily and Scout come into their dorm, The Brat Pack is sitting with Lily´s file from Foley´s office, they snatch the folder and when Lily look at it she finds out that there is a letter from SRF - that is medical research and it is from her parents. Lily now knows that something is up with her parents work and her and Scout investigate more when they go to Foley´s office to put back the file, and there they finds out that Lily do have magic - when she manipulate the light with her emotions.

The next day Scout gets called in in the middle of lunch which never happens, but she goes anyway. When Lily comes back to their dorm after the day, she finds Scout room trashed and Scout missing, Foley shows up and reveals that she knows about The Dark Elite and if Lily can do something she should do it, so the police wont get involved. Lily knows that the Adept´s have a meeting that night so she goes to it. But when she tells them that Scout is missing the college kids Smith and Katie, do not want to save her because then they might be caught and the others agree with them. Lily storms away, but goes back to tell that she has magic, and she tries again to get some of them with her to save Scout, and this time Paul, Jill, Jaime, Jason and Michael goes with her eventhought the Katie and Smith says no. They successfully gets to Scout who has been soul sucked, but the Reapers attack. When The Reaper´s closses in on them, the boy Sebastian makes eye contact with Lily and tells her with his mouth to let go of trying to control the magic, and when she does she makes a firespell and they escape, but Lily knows she will see more to Sebastian. After Jason and Lily almost kiss, but is interupted by Scout and Michael. Scout then after tells that she has done research on Lily and that there is 12 Contingency Adepts, 6 who can wield electricity like Lily. 2 days later Lily is officially accepted into the Adept when a new member named Daniel shows up and they soon get another assignment.

I really liked this book, in the beginning i thought it was going to get boring, but the more i got into it the more i liked it. I thought the plot was different, and that it was good to read something differnt for a change. And i am really looking forward to the second and to see how the loose ends connect and to see Lily´s dark side and at the same time see if this Sebastian guy really is evil, because he doesn´t seem that way toward Lily. I like the way that Scout and Lily sees the school from the beginning as not fun, because my reaction would be the same. But i sometimes fought that there wasn´t any suprises, like Jason´s wolf part, that wasn´t really a suprise. And in the beginning i didn´t really thought that Lily had any guts, because i wouldn´t just have walked away in the beginning with Scout. It was a really nice starter book. With teenagers, magic, frindship and a little romance and mysterious. I liked this first book in this series than i did with the Chicago Vamps.

Uninvited By Amanda Marrone

3 months ago Jordan´s ex-boyfriend Michael Green died, and 2 days after, Michael showed up at night outside her window asking her to let him in and he told her about his so called dead, and Jordan knows that he is now a vampire. Last summer Jordan babysat some kids and a boy moved in next door to the boys. That boy was Michael and her and Jordan started dating. But when school started again Jordan Dumped, the quickly very popular Michael, because she has a thing with people, Like: she can´t make small talk, she would have to sit and smill to all Michael´s popular friends. And Michael went on really fast already kissing a girl that day. And had since gone out with many girls, until his so called dead, being called suicide. Now he has for 3 months kept showing up at night asking Jordan to let him in, telling her he loves her and that they can be together and Jordan knows that if he comes in he is going to change her, but she can´t help but wonder if he really do love her and she really loves him. Jordan´s daily rutine is to get drunk and high. Eighter with her so called friends: Janine, Gabby and Rachael. At parties or alone in her room. Jordan has a crappy family life were her family doesn´t pay attention to her and let her do whatever the hell she wants. Her mom writes her notes, without knowing to what, so Jordan half the time skip classes. Last summer Jordan was on the running team, with a boy named Danny who she really liked and kisses with at a party. He called her after, but because of Michael death and him showing up, she never called her back. Now Jordan friends is teling her to go out with them at a party at one of the kids from school, but if Jordan go out at night and Michael comes and she isn´t in her room, is he then going to follow her?? She doesn´t know and for the first time at a party she doesn´t wanna get too drunk or have sex, but she almost doesn´t follow that rule. Suddenly Jordan sees Michael outside the party, so Jordan drags a friend who is too wasted to that person car, so she can get out of there. They drive all night until Jordan sees her message´s with a message from Lisa, her old best friend who has just gotten out of rehabe, telling her that she is at Jordan´s house, is scared and that Michael is alive. She talk to Lisa and finds out that Lisa was at the hospital instead of rehabe, because of some diseas. Lisa tells her they have got to do something about Michael, but that Jordan has to wait for Lisa before she does it. When Lisa is gone Jordan makes a stake out of the tree outside her window, she also calls Danny and they decides to start over. That night Michael comes and she finds out that he doesn´t love her, and she tells him she broke up with him because they had nothing in commen. When Michael says he is going to go after Lisa, Jordan invites him in, but he tricks her and tells her he is going after Lisa anyway and that he will just come back for her anytime. Jordan calls Rachael and tells her everything, and she brings corse and holy water and go after Michael. They find Lisa with him, but they ends up killing him. 3 month after Jordan and Rachael aren´t friends with the other 2 anymore. Jordan is going out with Danny and Rachael with Danny´s brother, and Jordan has been sober for 3 months.

So i was really looking forward too a great, mayby with action and scary things, book. And guess what??...I didn´t get it. I didn´t thought that this book was well developed, there could have been so many other things in it, but there wasn´t. Sometimes you where one place in the book and then a person say a sentense and then you are a whole other place. I didn´t thought that the book knew how to discribe its suroundings. I thought that there was going to be more in the fact with Michael been outfront calling for her, but i just got a pathetic feeling out of it, you know, and it was only like 2 times he showed up, made a bad effort and their conversation lasted for like 1-2 pages? Really a letdown. I thought it was going to be an exiting book, but it was just: party, stupid people, and kids who suddenly knew how to defend against a vampire and you don´t even get to know how they know to do it. I also didn´t thought that the characters were developed well as well as the story And the whole thing just happened way too fast. The author might have thought to make the book longer and better developed.

The only 2 things i really like was the fact that she put down the tree in the end. And the cover that is really beautiful. When i look at the cover and the title, i thought it was going to be a different book, with more suspence, more scary, better discriptions of things and then i read it and it was such a letdown.
A thing for insects?? ...cockroaches!!! Now that is just weird plain weird, and utterly disgusting. So really not a book i wanna read again and i definently don´t recommend it.

Stark undergo massive pain as a warrior has to cut in him for him to get to the Otherworld and when he finaly gets there he has to fight his evil self, but before he does it he comes back to the normal world where Aphrodite - who has just tried to get a vision herself and got it tells him that he need to get Heath away from Zoey and make him move on, or else the world will go under if Zoey doesn´t come back.

*-*Stevie Rae also gets the new about Zoey and through the imprint between her and Rephaim, he feels it too and calls to her, 2 days after her accident. They talk and come up with the fact that Neferet is using Kalona - which he is. She calls Aphrodite and together they find out about Neferet´s darkness and her trapping Kalona´s body and making sure Zoey dies. So they talk about finding a way to get Stark´s soul to the Otherworld so he can protect Zoey and they can come back. She also vists Rephaim. Aphrodite then calls her again so she can find out something about the Light And Darkness bulls, through her earth element. But when Stevie calls a circle she calls the White bull who is darkness. He give Stevie her answer but want payment inform of blood so Stevie almost die, but Rephaim and the Black bull shows up and help her. When her circle is broken all the black smoke dissaperes and Dallas who was with her hurries to her sight, and Rephaim flyes away. But Dallas of course sees him. After when Stevie is back on the school and on the hospital, she calls Aphrodite with the news. Later Stevie and the others go to the tunnels to throw out the evil Red fledgling, Stevie sends all the good fledgling home after, but Dallas stays and they almost have sex, but Rephaim shows up, because he can feel what she is about to do through the bond. Dallas acts crazy, when he finds out that Stevie has something to do with a Raven Mocker and the darkness takes him over, so Stevie calls the school and tells that he gave over to darkness and that anything he tells them is a lie. Stevie then goes back to the house where Rephaim lives right now and it seems like they almost admit their feeling, esspecially when they sit outside by the fountain the day after and Rephaim reflections changes to a hot indian guy. But they are interupted when Rephaim feels that Kalona is back in the world and when Stevie feels Zoey being back. She then tells him that he can come back when he will choose Love over darkness.

Arhh Stark love her - see that is what i have been waiting for. Now Zoey has just to open her eyes and forget about the other boys, who is actually out of her way now. So finally they have a change to be together.
Words they day a lot is: Dang, oh goddess and Zoey always says Ah Hell - esspecially in the end of the chapters.
I really didn´t understand the scottish - just very little of it and that annoyed me. It was also a little difficult to understand the american southern slang sometimes.
I Thought it was a little boring hearing about was Stevie was doing all the time, because she had a lot of time in this book, and i would rather want to hear more about saving Zoey. Of Course the others have to have some time too, but then let it be Aphrodite - she is so funny and i like her a lot, or Stark.
Sometimes i thought it was alittle to annoying that we didn´t hear about the person emotions, like Stark and Aphrodite sometimes. Mostly it was just the things that was good discriped and not the things the person thought and felt.
I am really hoping that Zoey wont screw it up with Stark, because he loves her so much and we all know that she loves him too and that she herself have suggested soul mates! i am just saying. So it really piss me of the whole reincarnation of Heath thing they talk about. Just get it in your head Zoey, Heath doesn´t belong in this worls and he never will and he was really a pain in the butt, when i wanted her with Stark and Heath just keept showing up putting everyone in danger trying to protect him. Now he is dead so move the hell on!
I am really looking forward to the next book and to see with Zoey and Stark, i just cant believe we have to wait until January 4 2011.

And on top of that Stark has just had a near dead expirience. After Stark has been taken care of by Darius, Darius tells Zoey that because Stark took the warrior oath he is now bound to Zoey and can feel what she is feeling a much stronger bond than imprint, and Darius tells her that it would be Zoey blood he should drink to heal, but that it wouldn´t just be blood he took it would be spirit.

The next morning they have a big meeting, where Stevie also tells that there are other evil red fledglings in the tunnels and that she wanted to give them a chance to come around, but obviously haven´t and Zoey is okay with that. All of them goes back to the school, where they finds out that the school is not at all back to normal. One of the teachers, Anasticia on Zoey´s side is dead, because of the Raven Mockers that went balistic when Zoey and the others escaped, and her mate Dragon also a teacher on Zoey side is absolutly broken. Zoey and her circle goes to the mini hospital on school and help the Fledgling who are hurt, after trying to help Anastacia, and they are apparently not under Kalona spell anymore as the rest of the teachers and students at the school is. After this Zoey group collects in Zoey´s room, where they discuss the new poem on of the Red Fledgling made and where Kalona might be. They connect the visions and the dreams Aphrodite and Zoey have had and the vampyre Twitter pages Jack shows and comes up with Kalona being in Italy. In Zoey´s dream that night, eventhough Heath is with her, Kalona comes to her, because he only has pure intentions. He shows her his past where he was Nyx warrior, but loved her so much he couldn´t do his job, and Nyx eventually let him fall to become a dark angel instead of white. The next day the gang including Heath and without Stevie goes to Venice to see the High council. While they go Stevie wants to give the rest of the red fledglings in the tunnels another change to choose good, so she goes out to see them. Stevie then gets trapped on a rofe by the evil Red Fledgling´s, because they tell her that the have beaten the Raven up and left him there. Eventhought the raven knows it is a trap. Stevie´s skin burns but she and the Raven manage to get away and open a hole in the ground. Here she drink his blood and forms and imprint with him, that is different than the one with Aphrodite, that then breaks.

Zoey and the others stand before the High Council when they come to Venice, but it seems like the council believe Neferet and Kalona that are there too. Zoey friends tries after to tell her that Kalona is messing with her head, but Zoey is confused. Stark is mad and storms of and Heath goes after him, to stop him. But when Heath goes he overheards Neferet and Kalona, about them luring Zoey in, and about Neferet killing the teachers. After Neferet leaves Kalona discover Heath there and Heath knows he is dead and calls for Zoey. Zoey gets there but Heath is already dead when she trows the spirit element after Kalona, and her soul shatters. This leaves Zoey friends left, who was right behind her, and Stark who is devastated.

This book is the first book in the serie, that isn´t just from Zoey´s perspective, it is also from so of the others but mostly of the other is Stevie Rae, because she is becoming bigger in the whole community herself. I don´t really have much else to say to the book than this: I just love Aphrodite, really! She is so much fun and stay on top of things eventhough she is human and i love that her and Zoey are friends now. And what is up with her calling the nuns: penguins? Haha so much fun. And then there is the whole boyfrind 1,2,3 that is so much fun also. I am getting really tired of Zoey going from one boy to the other, I just want her to be with Stark. I really want Heath to fuck of, and Erik to stop being such and ass and for Kalona to stop entering Zoey dreams and just go away, so she can be with Stark.

The next day Aphrodite and Zoey goes to the Street Cats and Stevie Ray comes too. Aphrodite gets a cat who chooses her and Zoey and Stevie talk about Stevie coming to the school and doing the ritual they have to do in front of the school the next day. Zoey tells her about Stark and she tells Zoey to keep and eye on the mourge and take Stark body, because he may wake up. When Zoey and Aphrodite is on their way back to the school, they have to get some food and bumbs into Heath, who tells Zoey that he is in pain, still loves her and always will, but that he don´t ever want to see her again. When they get back to school Zoey has drama class wit Erik as teacher and Erik puts Zoey up on the stage to do a play with him, but it ends being more about the thing that has happened between them, than the actual scene and they kiss passionet twice. After Darius (A Son Of Eden and Aphrodite´s boytoy) finds Zoey and gets her to go to Aphrodite. When Zoey finds her in her room she has totally blood red eyes and has just had a vision of a poem she has just written down. And the poem has the writting of Zoey grandma, but it is Aphrodite who has just written it. So they call Zoey´s Grandma, who tells them the poem is about Cherokee demons/witches - terrible things. Zoey and Aphrodite tell hers grandma she has been hearing raven´s at night, her Grandma tells her that they are Raven Mockers - the spirits of the demon children of Kalona (and that they can´´t hurt people unless they are close to death) - who is told about in the poem. And her grandma is afraid that the poem is the Ravans song, that tells that Kalona will soon return and get his revenge on human women. Zoey and Aphrodite agrees that her Garandma need to come to them tonight and that her grandma has got to play a role in this somehow.

Afterward Zoey find the twins, Damian and Jack and bring them to Aphrodite´s room where they tells them everything, even about the other dead kids and about Aphrodite. They agree that the poem is a prophecy and that Neferet and Stevie might have something to do with it. Zoey also gets Jack to go to the morgue to install a nanny cam so they can keep an eye on Stark. Afterward when Zoey is on her way to ask Shekinah if her Grandma can stay on the school, she gets attackt by the Raven but her friends power help her, she also overhears Neferet telling Shekinah lots of lies about Zoey. And when Zoey´s Grandma gets there they all tell her everything. Before Zoey gets to bed one of the ravens is outside her window and her and her Grandma fight it away. The next day when Zoey awakes she is visitet by Shekinah, Neferet and Aphrodite who tells her that her Grandma was in an accident because of a bird (A Raven Zoey figures). Afterward Zoey and Aphrodite goes to the hospital, later Aphrodite goes to the school and Zoey stayes with her Grandma until a non from Street Cats shows up.

When Zoey gets back it is time for the ritual. Aphrodite, Damian, Zoey and The Twin stands on their place in the circle while all the teachers, Sons Of Eden and Vampyre Fleglings stands outside and Erik is in the middle of the circle with Zoey to read a poem and sacrifice blood. When it is Earth and Aphrodite turn Stevie appears and takes her place. Zoey explain that her and the other fledglings who comes into the circle are a new kind of vamp and Aphrodite tells that she is human but special. Suddenly Neferet is there with Stark and tries to give Zoey the blame for everything. And everywhere there is caos. Neferet gets Stark to shot stevie with a dark in the chest, but they hold the circle because Aphrodite and Zoey have a bad feeling about closing it. Suddenly Aphrodite tells to move the circle and as they do Kalona appears from the big oak tree, and he call the Ravens and Neferet appears as his queen and the Ravens begin to become human and feed on all of the people who is not is the circle. The circle moves with Damien, Jack, Erik, The Twins, Stevie, Zoey, Darius (Son Of Eden), Aphrodite, the fledglings, Stark´s dog and 3 cats. The disolve to a mist and makes it to the underground tunnels where they hide and has to start making plans.

I just think the books gets better and better. This is a really exiting book, because so much happens and all the exitment is in the end of this book. I like the whole friendship thing going on between Zoey and Aphrodite and i am totally loving Stark the new character and i hope that him and Zoey will be together for real, because he is a really good character. I also think this is my favorite cover of all the House Of Night books.

Neferet and Zoey talk after, not so friendly. Erik overhears and Zoey tells him that yes Neferet is evil, his only answer is that it doesn´t change things between them, and Zoey says she knows. After Nyx gives her a message to be ready.

Issues... they all got some dang issues. Well just like the other 2 a good series. And i totally understand that Erik is breaking up with Zoey, because she really has to stop with all the guys and just choose one. That is what is the most irretating about Zoey that she can´t seem to choose the right guy and when she does its the wrong.

Like the first one, I really enjoyed the book and i think the series is getting better and better and developing. The series isn´t The Vampire Diaries or Vampire Academy, but i like this book, but i also like it another way than i like the 2 other series. So not much else to say.

At night Rose is at a dinner with Adrian´s parents, thigs go pretty well and his mom doesn´t seem to have a problem with Adrian dating Rose. While at the guardian headquarters, Rose has just taken the files over the prison, when a guardian Mikhail Tanner who was involved with Ms. Karp a dhampir, who became a strigoi the same time Demitri did, walks in on her. She tells him his theori and he agrees to do her a favor. At the service the next day Rose ask Eddie, who she knows will do anything to help her, to help her. And by night Eddie, Rose and Lissa meets with Mikhail, who gets the out of the court and to the airport so they can go to Alaska. They break Victor our of prison, eventhough it is hard and he tells them that his brother, Robert Doru lives in Las Vegas. They go there on a private plane and when they get to a hotel they get Victor to call his brother.

A couple of hours before the are meeting Robert, Adrian shows up having tracked them down with the credit cards he gave Rose to go to Russia. He gets mad when he finds out what this is really about (Dimitri), but goes with them to dinner anyway. At dinner Robert tells them that if you charm a stake with spirit and let the spirit user kill the strigoi, then the person will become itself again without being shadow-kissed. As they are one the way to a room so Robert can show this Dimitri and some other Strigoi shows up, they all escape but they lose Victor and Robert. So now there is no more else to do than to go to the court, when they get back her and Eddie gets send to do all the work at court nobody wants, and one day Christian show up and he see through Rose and gets the whole story, after through the boond Rose sees him coming to Lissa, telling her that he can teach her to stake a strigoi, if he comes with her to the college she is visiting the next day, and that they can get help from Mia when they get back and Lissa accepts. While visiting the college that weekend Lissa and Christian guardian teach them some few fighting things and let them use a stake on a pillow. But when Lissa and Christian and some guardians is out to celebrate Lissa´s birthday, they get attackt on the way home by Dimitri and strigoi. They kill all exept Lissa snd Christian whick Dimitri says he will use for bait to get Rose, and Rose sees al of this through the bond. It isn´t long before a lot of guardians is on their way to save them including Rose. While they get there they fight and after a lot of trials Lissa gets a charmed stake into Dimitri´s heart. He is now dhampir again, but the guardians and others have a hard time believing and they lock him up.

The morning after she sees Dimitri, Adrian comes and tells her that the council has decided to drop the age from 18 to 16 when you get gratuated, and that it was that Rose got called into the council to testifide. Rose gets mad and storms down to the court where things are still going on and everything is caos. A couple of our after this Dimitri is outside to get tested if he is still strrigoi, Rose helps him and he gets permission to get a room but still with guards around him. Rose tries to talk to him, but Lissa tells her to give him time, so she does. She after runs in to a man she reconice as working for her father Abe and he gives her a laptop and some papers to follow. It turn out it is a video conference call with Sydney, who tells her that The Alchemists just have had some stolen records of Lissa´s father Erik askes if it was Rose or if she knows who it was. Rose begins to wonder what the hell they wanted with Erik and why when they where in vegas they talked to a man who said he was in vegas a lot. Dimitri and Rose talk some more the next 2 days, once in churcha and the next morning when Rose is going for coffee, but at the cafe a lot of the queens guards suddenly comes wanting to take Rose away, but Dimitri stands up for her and try to fight them of, at last Rose just goes with them and she finds out that queen Tatiana was killed last night, and Rose is the only and main suspect.

Spirit Bound is the fifth book in the Vampire Academy series. This book definently had a lot of things going on, and the ending was just shocking. The book just had so much suspence. And as always i would love to be like Rose with her whole attitude towards things and stuff. It was just such a roller coaster ride and i read it on one day because i knew i wouldn´t be able to put it down to sleep. I really loved that Dimitri came back, but i was so sad for Rose that he wouldn´t talk to her and stuff, because they belong together. And Rose has done so much for him, so i can´t say that i wouldn´t be a little jealous of all the time Lissa gets to spend with him. But i am hoping that it will change in Last Sacrifice, because I love the way that Dimitri stood up for her at the cafe that really seems like a turning point for him. 3 characters i really think bring a good thing to the book is Adrian, Christian and Abe. They have there own way to look at things and that makes it funny and good and makes me like them. I really loved to see more of Rose and Lissa´s old friends and enemies, because it was like a great reunien.
I just loved, loved, loved this book and it may be just a matter of time before this become my favorite in the series, but not quite.

Marked Review

Marked By P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast
(Book 1 In The House of Night Series)

Zoey Montgomery was just a normal 16 years old teenager going to Broken Arrow's South Intermediate High School, who wants to be done with school and get the hell away from that city. Everyday she has to stuggle with her crazy God obsesed stepfather who is totally fake, and she has hated him since her mom 3 years ago married him. Her mom, who hasn´t been her mom since she married him, who is always on his side. Her 2 sibling, who pretends to be happy, but really isn´t. Zoey is coming down with a cold and then one day at school she gets Marked with the symbol of a dark blue crescented moon, by a vampyre Tracker. She knows that she now has to move into the House of Night, in Tulsa's Midtown, a private vampyre school and go there for 4 years or else she will die if she doesn´t complete the change. Her best friends Kayla is with her when it happens in the abandon hall, but she quickly flees, being as scared as everyone else by the vampyre thing, eventhough Zoey is still Zoey. She tries to talk to her mom when she gets home, but before long her mom has called her stepdad and her stepdad called the priests and shrinks and blaming Zoey for everything. So Zoey runs away to her Grandma Redbirds house. Zoey and her Cherokee heritage Granma are close and share the same opinions, a heritage Zoey also have.

When Zoey tries to find her Grandma she trips a hits her head and gets her spirit out of her body. In her spirit she meets Nyx The vampyre Goddess, who names Zoey her eyes and ears in the world today. When Zoey wakes up she is at the House Of Night with her Grandma and gets introduced to her mentor and full vampyre high priestess of Nyx, Neferet. What the 3 of them can´t seem to figure out is why the tatoo in her forehead is fully grown with color, and that is unnormal for a girl her age and a girl who has just been marked. Neferet shows her around, but when she has to go away for a minute, Zoey accidentally sees a girl trying to give a guy a blowjob. The guy tries to get the girl of, and after sees Zoey who runs. When Zoey gets to the girls dorm a girl named Aphrodite is friendly, but as soon as they are alone she is a cold bitch who thinks everything is about her, and Zoey realises that she was the girl with the guy. Zoey then meets her roommate Stevie Rae Johnson, and later at dinner she meets her friends, who quickly become Zoey´s friends: Damien, Erin and Shaunee - who is called the twins. She gets explained that she herself is a third former and that it goes up to six and then you are done with school That night she gets invited by Aphrodite who is kind of leader of the popular to join The Dark Daughters/sons, who Stevie explains is a group for the most popular kids who thinks they run the school. Eventhough Zoey doesn´t want to have anything to do with them, Stevie and the other says that it is best because Neferet already has approved of it. The next day Zoey has her classes who is much more interesting that it was in high school. At The Dark Daughters ritual that night, as part of the ritual they al drink something from a cup, she after finds out it was wine with blood and gets mad at herself and thinks she is a monster, because she really wanted the blood. Zoey then runs into a cat outside who chooses Zoey as her person, as cats does. While outside Zoey thinks she sees a girl who died today, because she couldn´t complete the change, ghost. After that Heath her almost exboyfriend and Kayla shows up wanting to bust her out, Kayla is only interested in Heath, but Heath loves Zoey, and zoey ends up drinking some of his blood before they leave and he doesn´t freak out. Erik the show up having seen the whole thing and tells her that it is only at your last year of the change when you are sixth former, that you get bloodlust, and that Zoey like everybody else says is speciel, he also tells her he is interested in her.

Zoey and Stevie talk at night, where Zoey tells her that under the ritual in the temple earlier she felt the elements when they were being called, Stevie tells her that Zoey is the first priestess ever to feel all the elements, and that she needs to talk with Neferet about it all. Zoey also thinks that she has been giving these powers so she can take the bitch Aphrodite down, so her and her friends do a ritual, were they all see that Zoey really can feel all the elements. Later Erik shows up, they kiss and make a date. The next day a boy dies from the change too, but later Zey see him thinking he is ghost too until he shows his eyes that is red, just like the girls and you can actually touch him. And by night it is time for another ritual with the Dark Sister, but something goes wrong with the summoning to celebrate and spirits comes and think they can kill heath who suddenly shows up. Zoey friends shows up and Zoey has to take the lead and close the ritual, when Aphrodite wont, and by the end Zoey has a lot of tatoo´s on her shoulders, arms and face. Neferet shows up having seen the whole thing and makes Zoey the new leader of The Darkest Sisters. In the end Aphrodite tells her that from the vision she had that Zoey saw earlier, things have only just begun.

I liked the humor Zoey had in her thoughts and in person. I also liked the fact that the language was so modern and young, because that also gave it humor. I know that many people think the way it is written is immature and too young, but i just think that it made it more funny and better. But i must say that NOBODY says: poopie. I thought it was a good idea that the book and the other books in the series, is written so the story is over a couple of days, because it isn´t rushed and you get a better feeling about the story and characters. I also think that some people judge the book too fast, because like we all know that Aphrodite is bad and that Erik is the perfect boyfriend, but all of that changes if you just read the next couple of books. Okay so a thing i can´t handle is the whole God thing, it was so ridicules. And i really hated Zoey mom and stepdad - Parents doesn´t know everything. So I totally understand Zoey´s feelings, i would want to get out of that house imedietly. And how can they blame this on her and her behavier? Really horrible parents. And shouldn´t a good mom think about her children before she marries a stranger and total asshole. What about the children is just what i am saying. I totally love the whole cat thing, that they have lots of cats there. I just love cats and it just seems so nice and sweet, and the fact that the cat chooses you. I thought the book had so good characters, and lots of new idea´s to the whole Vampire thing, like getting marked. What i didn´t really understood completly was the whole getting marked thing, with the vampire tracker, because the author doesn´t explain it at all, so i was just so confused. and i thing i really hate is that they call it Vampyre instead of Vampire

Sea Change Review

Sea Change By Aimee Friedman

16 year old Miranda has always like science over being a pretty girl, and she was about to start her dream internship at The Museum Of Natural History in New York City where she lives, but her grandmother just died and left a house on Selkie Island, Georgia to her mom, eventhough her mom and grandmother haven´t spoken for 30 years. So her mom asked her to come and help her clean out the house so it could be sold, ánd then Miranda would start her internship later. So Miranda takes the faire to the island, where she on the way gets told stories from the sailer about kraken, mermaids etc. When her and her mom arrie at the house, her mom tells her they have gotten a invitation to the Heirs party the next day. At the party she meets her moms old friends, and her back then best friend Delilah. Delilah daughter 15 year old CeeCee is all over Miranda pretty fast and gets her dragged over to her girl and guy. Miranda thinks that CeeCee and her friends are not her type, but a boy T.J seems a bit inersted in her. Instead of hanging out with them Miranda takes a walk on the beach where she meets a boy named Leo Mccloud, they have barely said hello when Míranda´s mom comes suprised that Miranda just walked away. But what Miranda can´t understand is why her mom is suddenly so good friends with everybody again, when she just yesterday could scream of the thought of being with them. The next day CeeCee shows up and her and Miranda have a day together, where at Miranda´s request they first go to the science center, where she finds out Leo works. He finds out that she likes biologi and stuff, and tells her she should come by at 6 to do a beach walk and she agrees. On the walk it is only him and her and they share their first kiss. At the same time Miranda finds a book in her grandmthers studie with tales of the mystical creatures that lives on Selkie, like mermaid/mermen and how you can discover them, like if a person last name on the island is Williams/Mcclead or if the person lives close to the water and swim at night.

That monday her mom has invited, what Miranda now know is her mom old boyfrind Mr. Illingworth, T.J dad, and T.J over for tea, where Miranda shares af kiss with T.J. Miranda can´t understand why her mom is suddenly so different toward her old frinds and why it suddenly seem like she wants to set her and T.J up. After T.J and his dad goes, Miranda wants to be by herself so she runs to the beach, where she finds Leo and they talk and take her out to eat at the Fisherman´s village, but when he tries to shows her his house, Miranda drews back and realise she doesn´t even know him. So her and Leo ends up fighting. The day it is 4 july, Mianda gets dressed up with CeeCee and her 2 friends, because by night when thre will be fireworks they will be on a boat with the 5 guys. But while on the boat Miranda finds out that T.J doesn´t really wants her for who she is and then realises that she was o fast to judge Leo. The next day she is about to find Leo to apologize, but he bets her to it, she then tells him about how her best friend and ex boyfriend 2 months ago had sex, because she wouldn´t. They get interupted by her mom and they decides to meet that evening. Miranda finds and old box with letters from a guy and a gown, and she begins to think that her grandmother had an affair before her mom was born with a local called Henry Blue Williams. Miranda know that it is crazy, but as she connect the dots it seem like Leo might be a merman, that night she almost drowns trying to prove to herself that Leo when he gets in water becomes a merman, but she ends up even more confused. The next night her mom tells her about her past, and how she knew that her father is Henry Blue Williams. Miranda then tells her about the box with the letters and the gown, that is her mothers. And finally her mom tells her that they are keeping this house.

This story was mysterious, enjoyable, sweet anf fun. But it was missing some closure, because the point of the whole story is the creature and we are left with nothing than a tale. I definently loved the whole water part of the whole story, the island and stuff. I don´t know why, but i really love water/swimming and that just made the book more interesting and drawing. I will definently make a good vacation book, when it is also one it self.
When talking about her grandmother and her mom and Miranda, i don´t know why but i kind of get a picture og the movie The Princess Diaries with Clarice, Mia and Mia´s mother and how they at first mom and daughter hated Clarice and stuff like that.
I really hope there is going to come a sequel, because the story is not even finished. The book was a lot about Selkie´s mystical creatures, but we doesn´t know yet if it is true? Or if Leo is one? Or if she herself is one?
I thought that the cover was really beautifull and you kind of get the feeling of the sea, and that they are underwater at the cover. I really hope she is going to make a sequel, because there are so many things that i think is half finished, because you don´t know if it is real or not, even the main character was confused. But the lose ends also make the book on the same time more mysterious. I also thought that we actually would find out if he was a sea-creature or not because of the discription you get of the book and all kinds of homepages.
