| House of Night Other World Book 3 |
Before he was freed by Neferet, Kalona was imprisoned within the earth for centuries because of the Darkness in his heart. But what happened to the Other World's Kalona? It's as though he's been forgotten, or maybe he never existed at all
In the present, Other Neferet may have left her House of Night, but she has far from given up her goal of immortality and world domination. As she operates in secret to gain access to Old Magick, the new High Priestess, Anastasia Langford, works toward peace and acceptance for the vampyres of the Other World. But just as Other Kevin's broken heart will take time to heal, peace in that world will also take time and work--and not all of the Other World vampyres want peace. After all, why should they return to being shunned by humans, especially when they've had a taste of how it feels to be in power?
Meanwhile, Zoey is desperate to help rid the Other World of Neferet once and for all, and not knowing what's going on over there is eating away at her. But, as the Nerd Herd warns, it's far too dangerous to call on Old Magick time and again. As a distraction, she throws herself into her work and attempts to bring the humans and vampyres of Tulsa closer together with the first human-vampyre swim meet in history! It's too bad that something always seems to go wrong whenever the stakes are high.
What happens when worlds clash and powers that should be left alone are awakened? Can Other Kevin and his world heal from the wounds Neferet continues to inflict? Can Old Magick ever truly be harnessed and used for good? Or will Darkness extinguish Light and leave our heroes broken, hopeless, and as forgotten as Kalona of the Silver Wings? Don't miss this second to last volume in the House of Night Other World saga!

My Review: 3/5 Stars
So for what is apparently the last book in these series, it sure didn't feel like it. Not with the cliffhanger ending that was so open ended, how could there be nothing else coming? I will say I was a bit disappointed with this book because it felt like a transition book. It started off slow, but it was still interesting. A promise that something was coming but then we didn't see the results. It was broken up I would say in two parts. The first part was about Kalona, Nyx, and Erebus and how their story began and was different in the Other World. Then in the next part it jumped to the Other World with Other Neferet and a few new characters along with Other Kevin. And then we did get a glimpse of Zoey and all our favorite characters. It was a build up of what Other Neferet plans to do and how Other Kevin and his friends figuring out to heal after the war and track down Neferet. Like I said earlier, it was just more of a build up story. Get the information you need and see what is planned because the next book things are about to go down. But that's not the case. The Q&A in the back of the book did mention the possibility of more which honestly I hope happens because this wasn't as satisfying as previous books in the series. This book felt like a promise for more interesting things and stories left to be told yet we are told it's the last. Like I said, I hope that changes. If you love the series, of course read it, but be prepared for some questions and cliffhangers.
