Okay. It's not great writing. It's not even very good storytelling. Some of it is pretty stupid and predictable. Repetitive, too. But, as Romantic Times Bookreviews says on the book's cover, "A highly addictive series." It's got s-x scenes that are uncomfortable for one of my male sixth graders, so it's really a YA. But that's what makes so many 8th grade girls love it.....
Zoey, in a month's time, has become the school leader. She's much too smart for a girl of her age, if you ask me. She throws up very easily and constantly. She has the most stereotypical friends that you'll ever meet in a YA novel.
SPOILER ALERT: Her mentor, beautiful, powerful Neferet now becomes an untrustworthy nemesis. She begins to befriend the previously rotten Aphrodite. Her best friend "dies", but doesn't exactly. She imprints with her human boyfriend, Heath, but also has a fledgling boyfriend, Erik, and is mutually attracted to a vamp poet/teacher, Loren. Just a little too...."romantic? ? ?" for me. But I guarantee that I'll read the next book in the series, Chosen because there's still so much unresolved. Darn.
