Publisher's Summary

The best-selling series has returned! Join P. C. and Kristin Cast in celebrating the 10th anniversary of the House of Night series by going on a thrilling new adventure with your beloved Nerd Herd.

It's Zoey's 18th birthmas, and the Nerd Herd has been scattered across the country, busily adulting for almost a year when Stark calls them back to Tulsa to surprise Z. But all is not well in T-town. Strange, dark signs are appearing - could it be possible Neferet is stirring? Not willing to chance disaster striking again, Zoey calls on her newly reunited friends to circle with her and add a layer of protection over Neferet's grotto jail. Easy peasy, right?

Wrong. Nothing at the House of Night is ever as it seems.

With rabid red vampyres closing in, Zoey and the Nerd Herd must come together again and battle evil. But a year is a long time. Have these old friends grown too far apart?

When the world fractures and allies become enemies, will darkness devour friendships, or will light save those she's loved?

Had Me Hooked But Was Still Disappointed

What did you like best about Loved? What did you like least?

As always I liked the way Ms. Davies reads and acts out each character. Getting to see some of the characters grow and deal with real life issues was also nice to see. However, I felt like this series was a cheap way of bringing back characters fans were mad about having been killed off during the original series.

If you’ve listened to books by P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast before, how does this one compare?

The reading was great but story line lacks substance. I was a bit disappointed feeling this series is just filler for the author's to have something to do in between their other projects.

Have you listened to any of Caitlin Davies’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to her read the other HON books and it is always a pleasure to hear her act out the characters.

Was Loved worth the listening time?

Yes and no. After awhile I had to give it a rest for about three days before finishing listening to it. The story does captivate you only because of the reader and the great job she does but the story line had me going "up and down" with how I felt about it.

Any additional comments?

The whole "zombie apocalypse" story line was lame and dry. There wasn't as much action as it kept hinting towards with the whole "while bull death and chaos" angle. Also, even though the audio book is missing the epilogue excerpt that leads into the next book "Lost" I was able to read it on ebook from the library. I found it rather silly to have Zoey going to the "other world" just because she wants to see her true love Heath who is dead in her world but alive in the "other world". I guess that is where all the action this book lacked is supposed to happen; hopefully. Thank goodness there are only three books planned for this series even though I will still listen to them only because I want to know what happens next.

fabulous book

I'm so glad they came back with it well written book :). . . .

wow! so friggin good!!!!!

I bought the hard cover to add to my collection and bought the audio. so worth it on both!!! I was so surprised and happy to see the authors decided to continue on the series of characters and their new lives bringing them back to Zoe, well written, great story line, I was afraid that it would be so different from the original series but it's like slipping on ur favorite sweater so easy to get back into the characters even if u have never read any of the other books before. u will want to, after finishing this book. I so hope there r lots more to come. thank u P.Cast and K.Cast. I can't say enough!

One of my favorite series!

I've loved every second of this series since high school and still enjoy it enough to re read the entire series even into my adulthood! The characters are so well written, the story keeps you on the edge of your seat (I've actually teared up reading these books) and the narrator, Caitlin Davies, does such a good job with voicing them! I would definitely recommend reading this series. You won't be disappointed!

I missed the Nerd Herd

Great story!!! I want more of Kevin! I'm glad to see the how the characters have grown.

Loved it

I really loved it. It seems like no time has passed since HoN ended. Caitlin Davies was really excellent.

Should I go on?

I'm not quite sure how to start off with this review so I guess I'll just dive right in with my confusion. Was this a necessary move on the author's part or was she bored? It was kind of hard for me to finish this one because it felt rather forced. Don't get me wrong, I loved the HON series! Huge fan. But this book, for me, just wasn't it. After listening to 12 great books about the characters development and the defeat of Neferet, I didn't feel there was much else to write about. I'm not the author so it isn't my choice but I really think this lacked a sense of importance. It sort of feels like someone was just playing around with the idea of an alternate universe and slapped something together because fans didn't want it to end. Everything must come to an end at some point. I hope I'm not being too harsh, I just didn't like it but I at least listened to the entire book. I don't think I'll continue with this set of books and will just move onto a whole new idea. Still really loved the narrator though!

apparently header is NOT optional

I had read the hard copy before with so much hope, I was not as thrilled as I had wanted to be. The second time around on audible was a little better. I still heavily noticed the gaudy verbiage used by the guys and lesbians. it was excessive and unnecessary. I also noted the heavy politics insinuation pitting democrats against Republicans in the beginning. Caitlin Davies did a great job narratoring but I could not get past the 80 year old voice for Stevie Ray or Damian's 10 year old boy voice, That's why she got 3 stars. Overall the story was good once we got past the first few chapters.

Love their books!

I find it so hard to put down one of their books once I've started it!

The narrator is fantastic!

Once it's finished I find myself searching for something else they've written.
