Personally, if you ask me whether or not you should read this book, I would say no. Keep away from this book if you are a lover of great books like Hunger Games, Chemical Garden, Matched, Harry Potter etc. Don't touch this book with a ten foot pole
. 
How do i know this? Because I read it. Don't get me wrong. I suffered through the first 4 or 5 books and I kept hoping the series would improve following the example of the other books of P.C Cast. But unfortunately, my wish did not come true. By then I had to know how this crappy excuse for a series would turn out.
I do not mean to like, hurt the feelings of the lovers of this series but this tops the list of worst ever vamp stories. Seriously who swears like Zoey. It is designed for you to laugh at and mock her. The character that I could tolerate the most in the series is Kalona because he is the bad ass villain.And at the end of the 10Th book he decides to go all good on me. Ahhhhhh......
Oh my god.... I just found out that there is a GRAPHIC novel for the series. How in the world did the series become graphic worthy? *disbelief* The graphic part is soo not appealing. In the book they characters are casted in such a way that they seem to be trying desperately to seem like a normal teen. But then the graphics sort of casts them as other-worldly. It is plain creepy.
Another thing I hated about the book was the part where the characters are named after either Greek of Roman goddesses. All the images of Nyx, Aphrodite are totally rewritten. I hated that. And Nyx as in this series shows partiality. She appears to Zoey and Zoey talks to her mostly on a really familiar level and when she appears to the rest of the HON people they are all awed. Nyx as far as I see never visits any of the lesser talented fledglings.
What I liked about the series is the novella about Dragon and I intend to read the novellas about Lenobia, Neferet and Kalona.
