Burned
P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast
St. Martin's Griffin
ISBN: 978 – 0 – 312-38796 – 9
We return to the battle of good versus evil in ‘Burned’ the seventh installment in the House of Night series. ‘Burned’ takes on a more morose and dark feeling. Zoey’s soul has shattered and with that brings a very real life or death situation to the whole group. As the team works together in Italy figure out how to help piece Zoey back together. Stevie Rae is back at the House of Night fighting her own battles literally.
What everyone doesn't know is that Stevie Rae is dangerously teetering on the edge of light and darkness. She knows that a lot of her actions are wrong and she shouldn't feel the way she does. But unfortunately she doesn't know where to turn or what to do and that is showcased in this book. In the end who will Stevie Rae’s true loyalty lie with?
Will Zoey be able to overcome her guilt and heartbreak over Heath’s death and pull herself together to continue to fight the forces of evil, Kalona and Neferet? Or will her friends be left to face them alone without their high priestess?
So, ‘Burned’ was by far my favorite book in the series yet I felt like this installment was the first book where all the characters left all the childishness behind them and became adults. There is much more depth to the characters in this one. They actually stood for something and fought for what they believed in. Stark blew me away in Burned his character really shined in this one he stood for something beautiful and powerful, loyalty and honor.
This book really kept me hooked until the very end. There were lots of twist and turns, loyalty and deception, love and hate all the things you need in a good book. Again I was happy to see less typos in this installment, which is always a good thing nobody likes typos.
I really love what is happening with Stevie Rae. I am very interested to see where this road leads her and what Zoey is going to do when she finds out about Stevie Rae's larger-than-life secret! ‘Burned’ was the best one in the series yet and it definitely pulled hard at the strings of light and darkness. Highly recommended, I give it five stars.

A refreshing break from what could have been a long, drawn out, way to just make money from a series. This book was great - interesting conflicts - lots of thought-provoking situations; subliminal "what would you do?" things. I think I enjoyed this one more than I expected.

I love this series so much!! The house of night series I started reading in summer 2022, after years and years of never picking up a book. And I can say with a certainty that this series is definitely what made me fall in love with reading all over again. I love the fantasy / supernatural themes in this book, but I also get Harry Potter vibes, not to do with wizards and magic, but because j k Rowling has a lot of subtext in her books that are in regards to good and evil, light and dark, and how those who are fighting for good are successful mainly due to their support system of loving friends and family and council around them. There’s definitely some good morals and lessons to be found in these pages

This is the last book that I've read in this series. I really enjoyed it in the beginning, I thought the story was original and creative. But as the story progresses it seems like less and less is happening... and it's just being dragged out. I will continue on.. eventually, but my interest in this series has died quite a bit ! Stevie-Rae is my favourite character though and her relationship with a certain individual is most intriguing !!!
