Book #6 of House of Night stands at a pretty even keel with the previous book.

My biggest pet peeve: the authors were not consistent about what kind of entity the villain is.

They consistently call him either a fallen angel or a nephilim. These are not the same kind of creature no matter which way you look at it. Even from the original Hebrew possibly meaning "fallen ones," it's still not talking about actual fallen angels.

Do better research; don't just say whatever. So because of this, I'm wondering what parts of Cherokee lore the authors have totally butchered for their own uses.

Anyway, I'm interested in the side plot going on with Stevie Rae and the red vampires and Rephaim. BUT I'm not enjoying the multi-guy aspect Stevie Rae is getting too. It's getting old. Multiple love interests at the same time are not a requirement for YA, you know. However, I'm happy to see Zoey taking her relationships more seriously rather than either stringing people along or putting up with abusive behavior to keep a sense of normalcy. So, good for you, Zoey.

I did remember correctly that this arc is dragged between at least three books; if it doesn't end about halfway through the next book (#7, Burned) then I'll definitely been in "this is taking too long" territory.
