I wouldn’t have predicted how much I’ve enjoyed this series based on the first book. I hated most of the characters and found the teen drama overwhelming. But the author built up some interesting personalities and the plot shaped into an intriguing supernatural story.
Zoe is back with Aric and I couldn’t be happier. They make a great team and pretty much all the Evils are aligned against them. Someone is going all out to frame Zoe for all the crazy things that have happened on campus since she arrived, and the police are following her every move. The murders are coming fast and furious while Zoe and Aric struggle to find out who is behind all the mayhem.
I wasn’t very surprised when the mastermind was revealed, but I had fun getting to the climactic reveal. Lots of people to both love and hate here, plus some of those frustrating “are you seriously going to do this?“ moments.
I’m glad I stuck around and finished the story. Make sure you read these books in order or you’ll ruin the experience....more

The more I read about Zoe Lake, the more I actually start to be interested in her. In the first two books of this series I found her to be obnoxious. Now she’s starting to develop into less of a brat and more of a person. Her nasty personality and tendency to lash out at both friends and enemies has mellowed into a sarcasm that can be funny at times: “Shiny objects could distract Tally. Kristy needed me to explain how the shiny objects worked before she could be distracted.”
After a disastrous encounter with a sorority of witches wanting her dead, Zoe discovered that her heartthrob, the werewolf Aric, had kept vital information from her. No longer able to trust him, she broke up with him. Although there are plenty of other guys who would be thrilled to date her, including the handsome and moody vampire, Rafael, Zoe isn’t ready to dive into another relationship.
She’s also busy trying to figure out what Professor Blake and his Academy of zealots are up to. They’re planning some major offensive against the supernaturals on campus, and both the werewolves and vampires are stirred up. There’s going to be a blowup and Zoe will be at ground zero.
The tension builds as the book reaches its finale, and I wasn’t disappointed. Just one more book in this series and I’m already reading it....more

We’ve met werewolves, vampires, a ghost and a sphinx, but a coven of dark witches is more than Zoe can handle. Unfortunately, she has no choice because their nefarious plans seem to be directed at her. She still hasn’t figured out what she is or what powers she may have, but all the supernaturals on campus are focused on Zoe. And one of them wants her dead.
The story is fast and furious, culminating in a ritual that will be the end of either Zoe or her enemy. I was caught up to the very end and, again, I’m raring to read the next book....more

This story is better, even with an incredibly pugnacious teenager in the lead. The mystery, while not difficult to solve, presented an opportunity to explore the different characters and types of supernatural creatures running around this tiny college campus.
I enjoyed the book and have already picked up the third in series....more
Snarky is not a word I would use to describe Zoe Lake. She’s mean, snotty, overbearing, and full of herself. She lashes out indiscriminately at any anSnarky is not a word I would use to describe Zoe Lake. She’s mean, snotty, overbearing, and full of herself. She lashes out indiscriminately at any and everyone, including her roommates, teachers, and even boys she’s attracted to. A main character I love to hate.
I do, however, like some of the other characters in the story, which is why I didn’t just drop this book like a hot rock. Zoe’s roommate Paris is a girl with a lot going for her. I fail to understand why the hottest guys are attracted to Zoe when Paris is prettier, nicer, and far less infuriating.
Aric, the gorgeous werewolf, is also a fun character, but seems to be obsessed with Zoe. He rescues her when she belligerently throws herself headfirst into dangerous situations, and flirts with her even when she’s busy putting him down.
The story doesn’t make much sense, but I’m intrigued by all the paranormal activity on campus and interested by how things will develop....more

I was rooting for Aisling from the get go. She’s smart and snarky and holds her own with four brothers who alternate between making a joke of her and being so overprotective it must be hard for her to breathe.
Jerry, her bestie and roommate, is a live wire, constantly blurting out the most embarrassing observations in front of her brothers, as well as the hot detective who’s taking far more interest in her than the job requires.
This is a fun romp in the paranormal, fast-moving and action-packed. I couldn’t put it down and can’t wait to pick up the next episode in the series....more

That said, this is yet another stellar collection of his short fiction. These stories are replete with King’s yankee wisdom and humor. I pulled a late-nighter the day my book arrived, promising I’d put it down after one more chapter (I lied).
Do yourself a favor and get this book, then sit in a dark room and devour it. You won’t be sorry....more
