Det tredje bind i serien er for unge fra 14 år, nok primært piger, som kan lide moderne vampyrromaner. Serien bør læses i rækkefølge, som forlægger gør opmærksom på i følgemateriale til anmeldereksemplaretBeskrivelseHistorien fortælles i 1. person, af Zoey, og det gør den ekstra intens og levende, og hjælper på det fantasifulde univers den foregår i omkring en vampyrskole med elever/yndlinge, inden de går igennem forvandlingen, som de måske overlever, og bliver vampyrer. Den klassiske gotiske gysertradition er moderniseret, og bruger satire og ironi og elementer fra fx chick-lit genren. Sproget er forfriskende, afvekslende og humoristisk funderet, men virker også effektivt spændende i lange stræk, og slutningen er intens for Zoey og læseren. Samlet repræsenterer de hidtil tre bind en udviklingshistorie om en ung pige der får smag for blod, samtidig med at hun får kærester, og i dette tredje bind har Zoey tre kærester og får også smag for sex og magt. Disse elementer er symboler for vigtige elementer i puberteten. Flot forside ligger fint i tråd med bogens indholdSammenligningSerien har umiddelbart meget tilfælles med Meyers Tusmørke-serien, jeg-fortæller, emne og miljø, men er også på flere punkter anderledes, den tager ikke sig selv helt så højtidelig, er ikke så romantisk og har i stedet en ironisk satirisk tone, samtidig med at den underholder med bl.a. gysSamlet konklusionEt fint tredje bind til de gyser-hungrende unge (især piger) i en ret original og underholdende vampyrserie

He took my palm in his and turned it over so that the sapphire-coloured tattoos that covered my palms were visible. Then, much as I had just done, he lightly traced his finger across my skin.

"e;I guess it had gone okay with Stevie Rae. I mean, she had agreed to meet me tomorrow. And she hadn't tried to bite me, which was a plus.

I'd known it before we saw the fire trucks and the smoke. I'd known all hell had broken loose at the House of Night the moment it had been proven beyond all doubt that Neferet was on the side of Darkness. Only now I had a terrible feeling that outing Neferet would serve more to free her than to force her to pay the consequences for her lies and betrayals.At last, Zoey has what she wanted: the truth is out. Neferet's evil has been exposed, and the High Council is no longer on her side - but she's far from done wreaking havoc in the vampyre world. With the seeds of distrust sown and Darkness breeding chaos at the House of Night, everyone must band together - but that's proving to be more difficult than ever before. The twins are barely speaking and the House of Night's former enemy, Kalona, has now become their warrior, pushing their trust to the limits. To top it all off, Zoey is pretty darn sure she might be losing her mind - she saw something when she looked at Neferet's minion, Aurox, through the Seer Stone that she can hardly explain to herself, let alone her friends. Zoey knows that following her instincts might be just what they need to defeat evil... but if she's wrong, it could cause the destruction of those closest to her.With the tension at a breaking point and friendships on the line, can the nerd herd come together to stop the spread of Darkness before it's too late?
