`The door closed with a sickening thud of finality, shutting my friends out and leaving me alone with my enemy, a fallen angel, and the monstrous bird creature his ancient lust had created. Then I did something I`d only done twice before in my entire life. I fainted.` It`s all happening, though Zoey Redbird wishes it wasn`t. She has her friends back, which is great. But a dark angel has taken over the House of Night, supported by High Priestess Neferet. Not so great. This leaves Zoey hiding out with the (supposedly friendly) red fledglings in Tulsa`s prohibition-era tunnels. The not greatness continues. Zoey has some boy-thoughts to distract her, with a chance to make-up with super-hot-ex Eric. But thoughts of the archer that died, semi-permanently, in her arms also keep distracting her. Then he shows up as Neferet`s newest minion. Well, hell. Zoey and friends need a plan to put things right, soon, if she`s to keep both head and heart intact. - Not suitable for younger readers?
