Chosen (House of Night, Book 3)

Enter the dark, magical world of the House of Night series by bestselling authors P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast, a world very much like our own, except here vampyres have always existed.

“You’re changing, Zoey. And I’m not sure what you’re changing into.”

Bloodlust is rising at the House of Night, and dark forces are pulling fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird into a game where loyalties shift and the lines between friends and enemies blur beyond recognition.

When her best friend, Stevie Rae, is pulled back from death but left fighting to hold onto her humanity, Zoey is forced to keep secrets that could cost her everything.

Within the walls of the vampyre finishing school, nothing is what it seems—and the truth may be more dangerous than the darkness itself.

I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed about this series after taking a short break from it. Sure, there's a lot that's predictable in a way that's typical for YA urban fantasy, but I particularly like the connection between the main character and her dead/undead best friend, as it's refreshing to see friendship love serve as the kind of motivating power often reserved for romantic love.

In ‘Chosen’ the third book of The House Of Night series by P.C. Cast, I did like the book but it started out a bit slow for me. Zoey finally gets her wish that concerns Stevie Rae. In this book, she finds that she comes to have all the elements and best of she can call on them at any time.




Zoey finds herself with three boyfriends and two of them are an absolute no, no in The House of Night, and one being a teacher is definitely a big NO, she does not want to get rid of Heath because they have imprinted, so he becomes a good source of blood for her, and she really does like him.



The group knows they had to have another fledgling fill the place of Stevie Rae for the circle, but when they find out that, it is the most hated person at the House Of Night School, Aphordite that has the element of Earth. When the other fledglings find out that Nyx has chosen Aphordite herself, they are more than angry.



Then teachers from the House of Night start being killed, and of course, Neferet blames the humans and says there will be war if the humans continue to kill anyone else from the House Of Night School, than… I recommend this book to anyone who is in to vamp books.

The pacing of this book was off. I’d read 50% of the book and she’d only lived about 36 hours. Too much happened in that time. Like more than was possible.

This book made me feel confused. I get that this is very much set in highschool and I get there are vamps and where there are vamps there is sex. I'm sure I'm not the only one confused but man was this ever a ride.

The Cast duo has left me wanting to read every single book in succession. I am so involved in this series and engulfed by its narrative. I cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of the series!
