Hunted: A House of Night Novel (House of Night Novels, 5)

What if the hottest guy in the world was hiding a nameless evil, and all he wanted was you?

At the start of this heart-pounding new installment of the bestselling House of Night series, Zoey and her gang must discover a way to deal with an unexpected danger that might bring them all down. Neferet guards her powerful new consort, Kalona, who looks gorgeous and has the House of Night under his spell. A past life holds the key to breaking his rapidly spreading power, but what if it shows Zoey truths she can't face? Meanwhile, the red fledglings have cleaned up well, but are they really as friendly as they seem? On the boyfriend front, Zoey has a chance to fix things with super-hot ex-, Erik, but she can't stop thinking about Stark, the archer who died in her arms, and she is driven to save him from Neferet's sinister influence. Will anyone believe the power evil has to hide among us?

The very first chapter of this book opens with the biggest villain we've ever seen... thirsting after Zoey. Everything that might have been good about the ending of the fourth book is immediately taken away by the fact that this spooky fallen angel/demon entity just wants to smash the main character.

That aside, I would like to know why Neferet, a victim of rape and abuse, chose to worship and fall head over heels for this demonic entity who raped hundreds of women. It's been two books now and this has not yet been explained, and I have very little faith that it ever will be. What was once a level-headed character who had an interesting personality has become nothing but a man-crazed lunatic, thanks to the Casts' seriously dreadful writing.

This re-reading is not going well rate wise. But I still know why I liked this series so much when I was a kid. The plot has a lot of potential (except Zoey's love life, I can't with that).
