There is a lot about this series I don't like; how Zoey stays knee deep in ever evolving love interests, the teen-speak, constantly explaining past plot devices etc. But there is also a lot of stuff I do like; the evolution of Zoey and Aphrodite's friendship, the mythology/world building, and the similarity of Christianity and the Goddess.

I started this series when it first came out and then I went off to college and life happened. I remember really liking the first few books so I decided to restart the series. As I'm listening to it this go around book 4 gets a new narrator, and I find her voice very annoying. I feel like the story does a lot of back explaining when realistically someone is probably reading the whole series and not just starting the middle. I'm sure probably because I'm no longer a teen is the problem, but Zoey just seems so young. It didn't really end so I felt I had to jump to the next book. If I wasn't curious about how things are going to end I would probably DNF the series. Not the best series, but I could see it being a decent teen t.v series.

I return to this series when I don't know what else to read or I don't feel like reading anything to heavy. That means this books has been on my shelf for a very long time until I read it three days ago. This is a good series if you want a vampire novel that doesn't follow the norm. This is a very different young adult series and as someone who left vampires behind a long time ago this series seems to stay with me for some reason. Well written with alright characters this was a good book and I felt it came to a great conclusion and well thought up build up of events.

To put it simply, this book didn't end, which I found quite annoying. I realize that if the authors would have included the ending it would have been longer, probably significantly longer if they're going to make a whole new book out of it.

But this was not the type of ending that made me screech and complain for the next one to be in my hands already; I simple had the "Oh, okay..." attitude and went on with my life. I think that any time a book ends without finishing, the author(s) should definitely hook and snag the reader so that s/he will be dying for the next one.

Oh well. The book itself wasn't bad. It also wasn't something to get too terribly excited over either. Zoey's infatuation over ever guy she meets is getting quite annoying to the point where I'd personally strangle her. Can we have more story and less middle-school drama please? I'm confused because this series mixes some content leaning toward adult in nature, but is generally geared toward a younger crowd otherwise.
