" Of course we all love Zoey, but seriously this book reminded me of the beginning of the series because she is still trying to find herself. She was kinda immature in this book, like a whiney little child (as Thanatos put it). We did get to learn more about the new girl Shaylin and her true sight gift, as well as watching the twin relationship between Shaunee and Erin grow apart. Aurox came into himself in this book as well, and I enjoyed learning more about him. However, the plot went no where. Zoey and her friends seem to spend forever getting ready to act against Neferet (haven't we been reading this for about 4 books now?) and finally they get there, but we're left in suspense until book 11 (I guess that's a good thing, knowing that there will be a book 11- by the way, I hate cliffhangers!) wondering what actually happened and what will happen next. I didn't like this book as much as previous books in the series, but I did like the story line and the character development, but I also felt like there was a lot of fluff in this book and there was no need for it to be as long as it was. I feel like the author wrote this book in about a week just to meet a deadline. I feel very unfulfilled with this book. If you've read the previous books in the series, of course you should read this book, because it is going somewhere, but I also kinda feel like I could've skipped over this book and gone straight to the next and not missed much. Kinda like how you can go months without watching a soap opera and have not missed much because it's still the same day... "
