I don't know what to say... 
 This is going to be one very confusing review, but please--bare with me :) 
 Okay let me start with expectations when I started this book. I actually bought this book last christmas, and I didn't want to read it at all. The only reason I bought it was because it was on sale, and hell, sale is a pretty good deal. I decided to read it nine months later. I didn't really expect much. 
 One of the things I didn't expect was that I'd actually finish it because I had struggled with the last book (Awakened). 
 This one was better than Awakened. 
 Okay... Dissapointments... 
 Stark. I loved him. I really did. Out of all the guys Zoey dated, Stark was my favorite. He was just simply Stark, and I loved him. I thought finally Zoey made a good descision. I hoped she wouldn't mess it up. Thankfully this book wasn't about Kalona trying to get with Zoey (though he did make one small comment, but that could easily be ignored), or about Erik trying to get with Zoey (he blamed her for messing up his life, but gosh is he such a whiner), there was only Heath. 
 I hated Heath in all the past books, but now I wish he was alive. I'm glad he's reincarnated into Aurox. At first I was pissed off, but by now I'm just glad. It's so obvious that Zoey always ALWAYS ALWAYS thinks about Heath. It's so obvious in this book, Heath this, Heath that, Heath Heath Heath... 
 I almost feel bad for Stark. 
 It's hard to feel bad for anyone. I hate all the characters in this book because it's hard to understand the things most of them do. The Twins were weird to begin with. Aphrodite is always just an ass, but she's saying what I'm thinking most of the time, how they're all lame and stupid. Stark wasn't the same anymore, and his dreams are just WTF. Darius seems like an outcast to me in a way, Mr. Goody Two Shoes. Lenobia--I have no idea what the chapters about her had to do with anything. Neferet is a freaky lady (at least she wasn't really a slut in this book compared to the other books). Damien is the genius who lost his love--Jack. Rephaim (well I gotta say I loved him a lot) he was pretty amazing. Aurox was sometimes confusing, but I loved him just a bit. Kalona has totally lost my love, I used to love his badboy side--back then he seemed like a bad boy teenager, now when I'm reading about him all I could think of is an OLD MAN--bleh. 
 this book is a trainwreck, but at least it caught me up in it and made me want the next book. Awakened didn't do that, but this one did. 
 I mostly want the next book because of Heath. I once hated his character, but now I think I like him now. Hmmm...odd... 
 Oh and another thing, sometimes the characters tend to bring up nowadays stuff, references to Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, True Blood, and Game of Thrones are mentioned. It's rather annoying because I've never watched Lord of the Rings, True Blood (though I read the first book), Game of Thrones. I've watched Harry Potter, love Harry Potter, but it was a bit annoying when I saw them using a reference to that. 
 All in all I'm going to rate this book a 3.60 stars~rounding it to 4. I'm feeling nice today that's why...
