Today we read the second half of the last chapter of House of Night: Untamed! Just so we’re all clear on this, it is still unclear what in this story was actually the untamed part. House of Night: Untamed Chapter 33 (continued) The gang decides that shit is FUBAR’d, what with Neferet releasing rape Satan into […]

It’s the penultimate chapter of House of Night: Untamed! Don’t be misled because the word “ultimate” was technically in there. Do not raise your expectations. House of Night: Untamed Chapter 32 The last chapter ended with Zoey’s surprise reveal of Stevie Rae and the other recently dead students as red fledglings, which they seemingly just calmly talked about […]

House of Night: Untamed Chapter 30 Zoey tries call Stevie Rae to bring yet another character up to speed on the events of the last few chapters, but thankfully Stevie Rae doesn’t pick up. Thankfully for us, I mean. This will unquestionably have dire consequences for Stevie Rae and Zoey. Darius arrives at the hospital […]

I don’t know much about search engine optimization, so I’m super sorry if this post title pulls in some very misdirected searches. House of Night: Untamed Chapter 28 Five chapters ago, Zoey’s grandma filled her in about the series’ new bad guys that attack people close to death and joked that, haha, good thing she isn’t close to death. Just […]

It’s that time again. We’ve only got about another month of House of Night: Untamed. This will mean we’ve read four House of Night books, two of them in succession just now. Should we keep going? House of Night: Untamed Chapter 26 Zoey is a bit more nervous about her meeting with the highest of high priestesses […]

Yes, we are on our fourth straight chapter of Zoey and co. trying to understand the prophecy that Aphrodite received in a vision. This is how slow this fucking book is. House of Night: Untamed Chapter 24 Damien reads the second stanza and the couplet at the end of the poem again. This part: Through the hand […]

Currently, we’re in the middle of Zoey’s Grandma explaining what the poem means. This obviously required two chapters to accomplish. House of Night: Untamed Chapter 22 Because such evil forces are the subject of the poem, Zoey’s grandma refuses to explain further until they smudge – a cleansing ritual that I’m not 100% certain I […]

I love the new Justin Bieber song. I understand if you can’t read my opinions about whether things are good or bad anymore. House of Night: Untamed Chapter 20 Last chapter, Erik Night used his very first drama class as a teacher to publicly humiliate, slut shame, and forcibly kiss one of his students by making […]

I know, I know. Every time Heath comes back into the world of House of Night, it’s a double-edged sword. I would argue he’s the books’ worst-written character (which is saying something, given the competition for that particular distinction) but sometimes he crosses the line into so-bad-it’s-hilarious territory. This time is – weirdly – neither of those. It’s […]

House of Night: Untamed Chapter 16 Zoey and Stevie Rae are finally reunited BFFs! Which means it’s time for them to slut-shame Aphrodite: “Darius said he’d escort me and Aphrodite. She said she’d keep him busy so that we could talk.” “Bet that’s a real hardship for her,” Stevie Rae said sarcastically. “Please— we all […]
