Zoey is still pretty judgmental, and she still has a woman-hating problem. Her overall growth as a person isn't great, but this book only takes place a month (ish) after book #1. There's still hope.
This book was slower than book #1, but the story overall was more interesting.

Okay, this one is a little worse....still aged like a beautiful bottle of milk that sits behind Grandma's fridge, but the teenager characters feel a little more accurate. Some of the writing in this book kinda reminds me of the viral Harry Potter fanfiction, My Immortal.
Though, not mentioned in the last book, I actually find this series' version of Vampires to be kind of cool. I haven't read enough vampire literature to know if its particularly creative, but I do enjoy the Indigenous and Spiritual motifs woven within as well as the consequences of turning into a vampire. The moon tribal tattoo stuff is also very much a nice visual.
Plot twist at the end was very predictable to me and the stakes weren't that insane to me, but I also had hindsight that there are like thirty million of these books (there's like twelve?)

I love how we got to see both positive and negative sides to each character, and exactly the depths of Zoey’s powers. I also absolutely loved Aphrodite in this book! Even though she was crazy mean in the first book and quite a bit in the second, her true self shined through as she helped zoey and her friends. I hope she gets some redemption in the next books.
I didn’t like the recap in this book. It seems like the way the author recapped the first book was so repetitive. So many small details were said multiple times that it felt dumb and annoying. I really hope the next book there isn’t any recap, if we want to remember what happened in the previous book, just reread if.
