It is now 2 month since Zoey has been marked, and a month since she fund out that Neferet was evil and that she changes the vampyre kids who dies to monsters. It is christmas, december 24 and also Zoey birthday. When you have birthday that day most people come up with gifts with a christmas/birthday theme whick Zoey doesn´t like, but doesn´t tell anyone. So when her friends holds a party for her they give her does kind of gifts, only when a package from Heath with a bracelet shows up in the middle, they get mad that Zoey didn´t tell them that she didn´t like the theme. Zoey goess out with her Grandma and have a good evening except for her mom and loser-stepdad who showed up in the store they where. Before Zoey gets back to the school she finds Stevie and with hard work get her to meet her the next day so she can clean herself. When returning to school her and Erik makeup, but in the middle of their makeup session they are interupted by Loren, and Erik tells Zoey he don´t like the way Loren looks at her. When Zoey the next morning go to the library, Loren finds her and they end up kissing and he gives her a present, earrings and tells her she was the reason he came back early from his holidays.

Zoey has to replace Stevie´s position in the circle when they do the ritual in The Dark Daughters, so she askes Erik, but as it turns out the circle rejects Erik and Apfrodite who is just nearby become the new member of the circle as the Nyx has given her the feeling of earth. After when all of her friends and her are going to the movie, Zoey tells them she will meet up with them so she can talk to Apfrodite. The 2 of them agrees that they have to save Stevie and they have to bring down Nefert. Apfrodite tells her they can bring Stevie to her house guest apartment because her parents are on vacation. Zoey pack up blood and some of Stevie´s things, drives to Apfrodite´s house with her, and Zoey then drives to get Stevie. Stevie ans Apfrodite is at each others throaths, but they agree to settle a truth all 3 of them so they can find a solution to this problem. When Zoey and Apfrodite is on their way back to school, Zoey drives her to the secret passage to the school so they wont be seen together, but here they discover Prof. Nolan´s dead body. They hurries back to the school and runs right into Neferet, Loren and another teacher and Apfrodite breaks down and Zoey tells them what they saw. Zoey goes with the teacher to show it and Loren takes her back to school were he tells her it was the People of Faith (her loser stepdads organization) who did it, because there was a note.

The next morning The Sons of Erebus shows up to protect the school against the war there are coming with The people Of faith and the vampyres. Zoey is going to meet Heath, who has just gotten home to break up with him, and she has to get the blood Apfrodite comes with in the morning to Stevie. When Zoey arrives back at the school, Neferet do a ritual so no one can leave or come into the school without her knowing. After it is time for Zoey´s The Dark Daughters Full Moon Ritual and when they are finished Erik breaks down and they think his is dying, but instead he complets his change to vampyre. They all leave and Zoey breaks down. Then Loren comes, he comforts her, they kiss, they drink each others blood so Zoey´s inprint with Heath is broken and that she now has one with Loren, and they have sex, and she tells Loren almost everyone of her problems. After Erik finds them, and when Zoey walks back to her dorm Erik comes, breaks up with her and tells her Loren is using her. Zoey is sad so she goes to Loren´s apartment, but she finds Neferet there and listen to what her and Loren are discusing. She finds out that Loren has been using her and that he is on Neferets team and loves Neferet.

Zoey breaks down outside and her friends comes to her been dragged by Apfrodite. Erik is also there and he blows in their faces that Loren and Zoey has just had sex. Erik walks away, while Zoey tells that Loren is a asshole. Suddenly Stevie comes and Zoey tells them what Stevie are, but leaves Neferet out. The twins and damien get mad, but they have to do the ritual and call Nyx so they can fix Stevie. Under the ritual Stevie attacks Apfrodite and takes her blood. When the ritual is done Stevie is herself again and has completed the change, but Apfrodite has lost her mark. Apfrodite runs out of the school and Zoey gets Stevie to follow her and make sure she is okay. Then Neferet calls a meeting, but just a minute before Zoey gets pain all over her body, but the meeting gets interupted when they find out Loren is dead the same way as the other prof. and that was why Zoey had the pain because the bond got broken. 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.
