Book 102 "Burned" by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

I told myself I would slow down on reading, but once I picked up this book I had a hard time stopping. =) I finished "Burned" by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast this morning very early...let's just say 2:30am. I just wanted to finish it. It took me longer than the last one to finished "Tempted" because I tried to savor it...but it still was too quick for me and now I have to wait until January 4th, 2011 for the next book to come out..."Awakened". Ugh!!! Okay seriously, this book was amazing. It was slow at first...but it was leading up to the BEST parts. Zoey's soul was shattered from the last book and was now in the Otherworld. Stark, her Warrior felt like a failure and blamed himself so he was going to do anything to get her back. Steve Rae meanwhile was dealing with the Red Fledgings that almost killed her and her Raven Mocker, Rephaim. This book was mostly going back and forth to Italy to Okalohoma and then to Scotland (which by the way I can't wait to visit in a couple of years with my hubby since he was born there). I loved the ending the best because everything fell back into order...while somewhat in order and of course Zoey gained something else in the end with Stark. I'm so GLAD, Erik is not on her mind and was hardly in this book. Now Zoey can focus on her next step which comes later in Awakened. I still can't believe I have to wait until January though. Oh well...thank goodness I have other books to keep me company until then. Here is the exercept from the back of the book for anyone who is interested in reading this book or even this series: "When friends stop trusting each other, Darkness is there to fan the flames…. Things have turned black at the House of Night. Zoey Redbird’s soul has shattered. With everything she’s ever stood for falling apart, and a broken heart making her want to stay in the Otherworld forever, Zoey’s fading fast. It’s seeming more and more doubtful that she will be able pull herself back together in time to rejoin her friends and set the world to rights. As the only living person who can reach her, Stark must find a way to get to her. But how? He will have to die to do so, the Vampyre High Council stipulates. And then Zoey will give up for sure. There are only 7 days left… Enter BFF Stevie Rae. She wants to help Z but she has massive problems of her own. The rogue Red Fledglings are acting up, and this time not even Stevie Rae can protect them from the consequences. Her kinda boyfriend, Dallas, is sweet but too nosy for his own good. The truth is, Stevie Rae’s hiding a secret that might be the key to getting Zoey home but also threatens to explode her whole world. In the middle of the whole mess is Aphrodite: ex-Fledgling, trust-fund baby, total hag from Hell (and proud of it). She’s always been blessed (if you could call it that) with visions that can reveal the future, but now it seems Nyx has decided to speak through her with the goddess’s own voice, whether she wants it or not. Aphrodite’s loyalty can swing a lot of different ways, but right now Zoey’s fate hangs in the balance. Three girls… playing with fire… if they don’t watch out, everyone will get Burned."

Well, I'm onto my next book before I have to get ready for work...Yes, slowing down is not a option right at this moment. LOL
