A must read companion book thats nonfictional essays.UGGGH. If you are annoyed by this book, or bored, or...WHATEVER, just DON'T comment. For Wiccans and Pagans like me, or people who want to know more about my religion, this book, I'm sure, will be good for you. So I haven't read this yet, but I got this as a Yule present. I started reading this series when I was...13 I think? Because my Goddess is Nyx. And yes, Nyx is real. Vampyres, sadly, are not. Nyx is not the Goddess of vampyres. At least not irl. I'm actually really excited to read this.
I thought all the books were awesome and thank P.C. and Kristen Cast for creating such a spectacular and addictive books but my favorites are Tempted, Untamed, Burned ,and Hunted. Thanks again to the wonderful authors of this series, it's better than the twilight series by Stephenie Meyer but not better than the vampire academy series by Richelle Mead
FINALLY. I'm done this book. Holy, man. It was so boring. I mean, Hey. I learned some things about the series, but I don't really think it was worth all of this.. this torture! First of all, I thought there were going to be more pictures. That's what I assumed when I read a portion of it off the house of night site.. but nope. Plus. Who wants to read a book of essays? Not me. I mean, it's cool if you do but just don't recommend them to me.. God. It's a good thing I don't put down books. I have
Fantastic reference book for those who enter the House of Night series Explanations, historical underpinnings, mythological references and more. Lovely artwork too. I could see this being required reading in a modern vampyre class.
I thought this was interesting. It talked about vampire folklore, myths, and religion and relates it to the House of Night series. The stories are amazing and each essay was well written and thought out. Good educational tidbit.
If you had a question in the HoN series, this book will definitely answer them!
