3.0

Better than book #1. The authors seemed to have figured out that the non-stop body-shaming and slut-shaming was annoying to read. However, it's not 100% gone in this book. Just less. The rude language is also decreased. There were a few instances of author intrusion regarding their personal opinions on certain subjects (i.e. sex) and it was extremely distracting.

Zoey is still pretty judgmental, and she still has a woman-hating problem. Her overall growth as a person isn't great, but this book only takes place a month (ish) after book #1. There's still hope.

This book was slower than book #1, but the story overall was more interesting.

Another aged-like-milk edition in the House of Night Series, but the teenage characters do feel accurate. Some parts of this book read more like a fanfiction than an actual novel. The "plot twist" is very predictable, at least to me. Will probably still continue to read these books.
