"Very good," she said in her emotionless voice. "Let us leave this place before the authorities descend."
Aurox followed her. He walked heavily, his hooves gouging furrows in the dirty alley.
Weak. He felt weak. And more. There was something else.
"What is it?" She snapped at him when he hesitated before entering the car again.
"I do not know. I feel--"
She laughed. "You don't feel at all. You're obviously overthinking this."
"Yes, Priestess." Aurox got in the car and let the world speed past him.I do not think. I do not feel. I am a weapon.
Zoey is finally home where she belongs, safe with her Guardian Warrior, Stark, by her side, and preparing to face off against Neferet -- which would be a whole lot easier if the High Council saw the ex-High Priestess for what she really is. Kalona has released his hold on Rephaim, and, through Nyx's gift of a human form, Rephaim and Stevie Rae are finally able to be together -- if he can truly walk the path of the Goddess and stay free of his father's shadow.
But there are new forces at work at the House of Night. An influx of humans, including Lenobia's handsome horse whisperer, threatens their precarious stability. And then there's the mysterious Aurox, a jaw-droppingly gorgeous teen boy who is actually more -- or possibly less -- than human. Only Neferet knows he was created to be her greatest weapon. But Zoey can sense the part of his soul that remains human, the compassion that wars with his Dark calling. And there's something strangely familiar about him . . .
Will Neferet's true nature be revealed before she succeeds at extinguishing Light? And will Zoey be able to touch Aurox's humanity in time to protect them all? Find out what's destined in the next thrilling chapter of the House of Night series.
Goodreads Summary
P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast deliver another interesting novel in the House of Night series. The characters are just as interesting and somewhat frustrating as always, the plot was constantly slightly changing, and the events were fast-paced. The ending is somewhat unexpected-a nice plus to a series where many events are predictable. Several characters make different decisions that will surprise themselves and the reader. The characters are dynamic, they change throughout this latest novel.
Zoey is not in this book as much as usual-allowing some of the other characters to shine. The reader will be reacquainted with some characters as he/she says good-bye to others. Overall, the book was ok...not the biggest fan here though.
