“Joy isn’t easy or inherent. It is a
choice, and not always an easy one—not at first.”
― Forgotten
House of Night: Other world
It’s Zoey’s eighteenth 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?
Things have settled down at the Tulsa
House of Night since Zoey and the gang closed the tear between worlds and sent
Other Kevin back to the Other World. Neferet hasn't stirred. Damien and Jack
are falling in love all over again. Stevie Rae and Rephaim are back in Tulsa
where they belong. The Depot Restaurant is being rebuilt with the enthusiastic
involvement of local humans. A new school year has begun, and Zoey's exchange
student program with public schools is really taking off. All is well.But if
all is well, why is Zoey increasingly withdrawn and moody?
Sadly, Stark is sure
he knows the answer to that question. Zoey can't stop thinking about following
her brother to the Other World, and Stark isn't deluding himself about why. Of
course she wants to be sure her brother is okay. Of course she wants to help
defeat Neferet in yet another world and be sure the balance between Light and
Darkness is restored. But the real reason Z is so drawn to that other House of
Night world is because Heath Luck, her childhood sweetheart, is alive in that
world-alive and mourning her death.In Lost, we follow Zoey, Stevie Rae, and
Rephaim to an alternative version of the House of Night, where dangers take the
form of friends and allies are found in the strangest places. Will Z return to
our world and leave Heath to his? And if she does, will Stark forgive her for
leaving? Find out in the second part of this exciting new House of Night Other
World adventure!
In the present, Other Neferet may have left her House of Night, but she has far from given up her goal of immortality and world domination. As she operates in secret to gain access to Old Magick, the new High Priestess, Anastasia Langford, works toward peace and acceptance for the vampyres of the Other World. But just as Other Kevin's broken heart will take time to heal, peace in that world will also take time and work--and not all of the Other World vampyres want peace. After all, why should they return to being shunned by humans, especially when they've had a taste of how it feels to be in power?
Meanwhile, Zoey is desperate to help rid the Other World of Neferet once and for all, and not knowing what's going on over there is eating away at her. But, as the Nerd Herd warns, it's far too dangerous to call on Old Magick time and again. As a distraction, she throws herself into her work and attempts to bring the humans and vampyres of Tulsa closer together with the first human-vampyre swim meet in history! It's too bad that something always seems to go wrong whenever the stakes are high.
What happens when worlds clash and powers that should be left alone are awakened? Can Other Kevin and his world heal from the wounds Neferet continues to inflict? Can Old Magick ever truly be harnessed and used for good? Or will Darkness extinguish Light and leave our heroes broken, hopeless, and as forgotten as Kalona of the Silver Wings? Don't miss this second to last volume in the House of Night Other World saga!
My Review
Fog rolls into
Tulsa, and with it comes Darkness. Zoey knows something is up, and that the
something involves Neferet, but Neferet can t possibly be freed, right?
Other Neferet and
her companion, Lynette, arrive in Woodward Park to set this world s Neferet
free from her grotto prison, and discover there may be those who sympathize
with their cause. Meanwhile, Other Kevin and Other Stark are hot on their
trail, but how can the new friends travel to this world without invoking Old
Magick and paying a costly, perhaps deadly, price?
In Found,
the culmination of the House of Night Other World series, a surprisingly
talented fledgling, an immortal, and the unlikeliest of allies will band
together with Zoey and the Nerd Herd. Will they be powerful enough to defeat her
old nemesis, or will two worlds be destroyed and claimed by Darkness? Find
out in the thrilling conclusion to the House of Night Other World series!
