Now that I'm finished (and boy did that take a while) I feel like nothing has happened in this book, it's just dragging out the money the people can make and it's very annoying because like I said, it feels like nothing has happened. I has to stop reading this book for absolutely ages because it was boring me so much. But I still love some of the storylines so it's still a good book.

I liked how the author's go back and forth between different POV's. At first I felt bad for Dallas because of Stevie Rae lying to him. But after he called her those names, not so sure I feel bad for him anymore. But the book was good. <3 Stark

Once again the mother-daughter duo created another filler book. This book was purely made to deal with what happened at the ending of the last book. Sure all of them are sort of like that but this book takes place directly after Zoey's soul was shattered. I read some of the other reviews on this book and I believe them that this book could have been better but it really wasn't. I mean sure it kept me entertained as I read it but also I could see that it wasn't really edited and it also purely sucked.
I mean I know I said it before and I also know it's too late for what I say to take effect for the Casts but this series should have been put into third person, like in some of the chapters, and should have been told throughout her journey in the finishing school. I mean it's suppose to be a finishing school for vampyres but this book series only focuses on Zoey's first year. But like I said it should have been in each year. Like the first three books should have been her first year, the next three should have been her fourth year, the next three should have been her fifth year, and the last three should have been her sixth year. While at the end of her sixth year after she saves everyone she should have turned into a vampyre. Or something like that instead of pushing it all in her first year as a fledgling.
Also another thing I don't like about it is all of the stereotypes. I know I should have mentioned that before in my other sixth reviews but I just didn't think it would be important enough to do so. Anyways we have the gay stereotype(Damian and Jack), the black stereotype(Kramisha), the rich stereotype(Aphrodite and Venus), the blonde stereotype(Erin), and the country stereotype(Stevie Rae). I think that is it for the stereotypes but I could be wrong those are the only ones I have caught so far. But still each of those stereotypes are pretty much present throughout the book series. I didn't add in Shaunee because she isn't really apart of a stereotype really...or at least I don't think so. Anyways these stereotypes are pretty much obvious a whole lot throughout the book.
I love this series I do and I will continue on reading it until I get to the twelfth book but I just hope that it gets better or I'm not going to be too happy. Anyways this book is actually pretty good. It doesn't receive a five or four stars from me. It gets a three star. I usually start out with five then I take stars away if I need to. For this book sure it kept my attention and made me want to continue on reading it but what I didn't like was how this book to me was made purely to have as an after effect of the last book. Don't get me wrong it's a good book but it also could have used a little bit more editing and probably be reread from someone else and maybe add in some more things from the Otherworld from Zoey or Stark or even Heath's point of views. Oh or even Kalona's point of views. But oh well.
I'm glad though that Stevie Rae isn't dating Dallas anymore and that some things are a little bit better about the book but not by much. Opps that is totally a spoiler but you could tell by reading the plot up above this review that something was going to end up happening about that. But yeah hating the stereotypes and other things. Oh and I even more hate the whole abbrevations I mean yeah it's target to teenagers and I was a teenager when I started out this book series but the whole way they made the teenagers act in the books are also another thing that I hate about the book series. I mean I know that the two aren't teenagers anymore clearly but they should have at least let a teenager read the books as a beta reader to see what they think of it. But again oh well it's already over with. And I think I am done with my rambling of this book review. I hope this review has helped you out.

It was cool to get different perspectives in this book and not focus so much on Zoey, even though I love her. I also really like the Scottish element added with Skye Island! I can't wait to read about it more!

I think I liked that this story centered more around Stevie Rae then the Zoe, Stark, Heath, Erik and Kalona pentagon that has consumed the last couple of books. Granted to we still got to check in on everyone else but I was more thrilled to get everyone else's story.
