Untamed: House of Night Series, Book 4

Read these books a few years ago when I was a teenager and loved them. Rereading them now because I remember how much I liked them and just felt like reading them again. Although I still like the plot and most of the characters and the storyline; this time I have a more than slight twinge of annoyance when I read the dialogue and the over explanation thought process the characters go through. The dialogue is cheesy, super corny and too simplified. It’s like okay i get it I’m not an idiot. And anything that has to do with sex is seen as a nasty or slutty thing to do which is only shaming any teens reading this. The writer acts as if the reader isn’t mature enough or smart enough to follow her storyline. So that’s annoying.

I usually hate audio books, but because I have to drive a lot I thought I'd give it a try. I have already read this series twice, and still love it. I dont like that the audio voice changed though, this voice is too young sounding and a little annoying. She just doesn't do it as well as the last one. I couldn't even finish listening to this book and to top it off you have to pay extra for the audio. Money wasted this go round! Very disappointed

This series up to this point has only improved. The evolution of the characters is really great and the "nerd herd" are really coming into their own and filling the big shoes that Nyx has gifted each if the characters with. I have stated in a previous book review that the repetitiveness of events was a bit exhausting and annoying but this book really cut down on all that and I'm appreciative of that. This book ended on a big cliff hanger and I can't wait to find out what happens next. Zoey and the gang WILL PREVAIL!

I love the series so far. I think the authors are talented storyteller’s but things start getting a bit redundant. I just finished book 4 and the meaning of “Uh-we-tsi-a-ge-ya” is still repeated almost every time it is mentioned. It’s the small details that seem to stand out the most. I wish there were more more words to be used for painting the scene and less words that simply describe other words. If I need definitions I can get a dictionary or google it. Also there is a huge misprint in book 4. It seems there is an entire page missing and a duplicate page in its place. Hope nothing important happens there.

I have loved the House of Night series. I’m sure that obvious since I keep moving on to the next book. What I struggle with though is the retelling at the beginning of the book. These books aren’t stand alones so I’m not sure why I waist the first couple chapters on having to catch up on something I’ve already read. It makes for a super slow start that struggles to keep my interest.However, after that, love it!!

I'm still waiting for one of these books to just blow me away. All of the books so far (with the exception of book 3) have been quite good. I'm waiting for one of them to be great.This book takes off right after Chosen left off. All of Zoey's friends are mad at her and she has no boyfriend. A few days ago she had 3. I really like that the authors didn't make this a cake walk for Zoey. She kept secrets from her friends, she's paying the price. She fooled around with all of her boyfriends and again, she's paying the price. I really feel that Zoey's character has grown leaps and bounds in this book. She's realizing how much power she really has and she's starting to grow up. She's also starting to have confidence in the decisions she makes knowing that they affect the people closest to her.One thing I'm really suprised about is how much I'm loving Aphrodite's character. I think she's my favorite in the series right now. She's hanging on to the sarcasim but she's letting people into her life and really starting to be a friend and a rock for Zoey. Kind of a reality check when Zoey needs it. LOVE IT!I still think this is a really good series, but I'd love for there to be a standout book and there hasn't been yet. I still think the series is worth reading but only if you read it in order. If you don't you could get lost.

I must say that this book was definitely much more enjoyable then the last one! It was really exciting and I am looking forward to starting the next one. I enjoyed it so much that I stayed up until 4:30 in the am to finish reading it. It was nothing like the last one and really dove into what the series is about. Z and her faithful friends are going to once again take on evil and hopefully save the world. I am hoping the rest of the series focuses on the important aspects that were brought up during this book, like family, friends, faith and of course some love. (not dating 3 guys at once but true love) Overall this book was excellent (minus a few typos and spelling errors which were easily overlooked). I gave it 4 stars because there were quite a few spelling errors but no one is perfect. =) Definitely give it a try, especially if you were disappointed by the 3rd book but loved the other two, this one is much better and will make you fall in love with series again.

Addicted to the series. Always a good read. I love me some supernatural. I do like the author's style of writing, which feels natural and compatible to the way we talk and think. Good character development. Love the fact that the author references modern icons, movies and events. Story lines are interesting and filled with drama and edge of your seat excitement and anticipation. I do love to hate the villain and this one is evil. Only negatives are ones that waste good story space and time, such as, the repetitive descriptions of past events and characteristics of people and then the romantic events or inner insecurity issues can definitely use some editing as it can, in places, be blah blah blah....tedious and over descriptive for what is needed. I usually just skip over these sections and get back to what's really happening with the story. There are also some typos here and there that bug me on rare occasion because I wish I could just fix them myself! Oh, and though the length of these books are typical, I would love if some authors would just make books that are seriously think again, like 500 pages or more! Other than that. I highly recommend this series. You won't regret it.

Great book, I'm working my way through the house of the night series so this one was next. They all look great on my bookshelves in their bright colours too which is a bonus. This is more a young adult fiction which some sexual references. I enjoy the easy read of this fantasy style book. There are vampires but different to as I've seen them I'm books before.

untamed is another fast paced read which was better written than the previous in the series.The story begins to develop in this book as it moves off from Zoey's personal life to actually having a purpose.Aphrodite's character becomes more in depth likewise with the rest of them. The voice of Zoey is more mature and it is a much preferred read.With a few humorous lines in the story to lighten it up this is probably the best so far in the House of Night series. The only annoyance is that things are repeated constantly, such as description of her grandmas use of cherokee words and the twins likeness. This book is a series and is bound to be read in order the need to repeat everything is unnecessary and i did skim read in total of about ten pages of what i didnt need to know.

I have every book in this series. If you are buying these, you may want to get the first books that explains all the characters and how they became who & what they are. (personally I started from book 1 and then at the end I went back to the book of the characters)Using my kindle i just kept clicking to the next page & next page & next page & found myself having read a book & a half in no time. Couldn't put them down. Really interesting characters.How many books have you read and its all vampires and humans full stop!!!? This one has powers, Indian legends, creatures and a lot more.Must read & well worth the money. ENJOY!!!

As Zoey starts to get her friends trust back new challenges appear to haunt her. The HON is in a terrible state and the High Priestess of the High Priestess appear to try to sort things out. Neferet is becoming more and more evil and now she manages to free Kalona the fallen angel. Zoey experience a strong connection with Stark only to be left broken heart after his death. With him and others becoming red fledglings and the threats to her life, Zoey needs to be strong and the Goddess is always on her side as the new tattoos prove it. Again and addictive and beautiful story. As soon as I finish one of these books I'm already with next one besides me!

OK, I'm a massive fan of the series and 'Ohmygodess!' talk about true colours, this book is very much about explaining whats going on in zoey's head. This book is all the story so far and how it all connects to everything!Beautiful intruging plot, now on hunted and believe me I am on the egde of my seat! :0 xx
