kosmond's review against another edition

Dear oh dear, where do I start with this book? It's book nine in the House of Night series. NINE!
I do like these books, the story is good, the writing it decent and the characters are fun. But I think the series should have been wrapped up in the 3rd book. It seems the authors are just trying to drag it on and on, like they don't want to give up. But seriously, what more can you write? If you haven't read all the books up to Destined, then maybe you shouldn't read my review, I dont want to spoil anything for you.
Here we go, first off, the fact that they are bringing Heath back into the mix is proof that they are running out of original ideas. I mean, he died, let him be dead and move on. And this "I used to be bad, and now I'm good" characteristic that half of the characters have, needs to be done. Neferet is back and still be head hancho of the House of Night, the nerd herd is living in the depot with Rephiam who is now human half the time, and lo and behold, Kalona is rethinking his badassness. *sigh*
I'm having a hard time writing this review, because it's a love / hate relationship. I want to be done with this series, but the darn cliffhangers that they have at the end of EACH (of the NINE books) is too much! I think they are the only thing that brings me back each time. I seriously curse myself while reading these books up until the last chapters, because I just can't stop. Good for you P.C. and Kristin for being able to get us hooked each and every time.
Zoey and her friends haven't changed much. They're still on each others case, Aprodite still the smart-ass, Stevie-Rae still the country girl and so on. Characters are being killed off and Zoey is trying to defeat Neferet, nothing new.
Honestly, I didn't find this book kept me interested as much as the previous others. But once again, I've been pulled in, and I am (not without reluctance) anticipating the book that will put this series up into the whooping double digits, Hidden, #10.

If you haven't read the rest of the books DO NOT READ THIS!!
Zoey gets a new guy too often dude someone should seriously stop adding them! I'm so freakin' in love with Heath and well when he dies i cried no joke lol and before that i thought she would stay with Eric but nooooo he ended up being a jerk gosh! i loved him too! Then Stark ..sometimes i feel it sometimes i dont.. right now i really don't I WANT HEATH BACK but himself not Aurox!!
and i would totaly stop if i could but once i start something i have to finish it so im fucked up until this series ends!!! hope it's soon!! And that it takes less than ten books! I'm getting blind for too much reading seriously!!!!! xP
P.S.
It is a good series though but it has too much guy-drama! xD besides that it's interesting

The story in this one was actually halfway decent.
Too bad they kept throwing slurs around every other word in the beginning and middle of the book.

hmmm what to say?? I was a huge fan of this series. I am always so excited when a new book comes out. But then as I am reading it I remember "oh yeah nothing really happens through out the books until the very end, and it is kinda boring". Well Guess what it happened again. It was a whole book of the "nerd heard" talking about the same things over and over again, being immature, and having sex. I just want them to grow up. And come on Neferet is still being bad and being high Priestess and they are still going to school. I don't understand. I feel like P.C Cast is trying to do too much at once and not developing the plot enough. The books used to be just from Zoey's POV but now every book seems to have a new POV. While I am reading it I am thinking "this is the last one I will read". But then right at the very end the action starts and it makes you go "what the??" and you have to read the next one. Agggghhh. I think the series needs to be wrapped up.
