I've really enjoyed the House of the Night Series so far. P.C. and Kristin Cast do a great job of making the characters seem real. It doesn't sound like adults writing in a teen's voice. This might be a problem for some people, because the language used by the characters and the slang may get annoying. The angsty feelings of, "I hate my parents..." and, "Oh no! I have three extremely hot boyfriends! What am I to do?" Could actually grate on the nerves as well. But for me, I enjoy stepping out of my, oh so overwhelming adult life, and jumping into the shoes of a teenager (again). It's refreshing.
Now onto the story. Yes, Zoey Redbird has a ton of problems going on in Chosen, and no the ending is not a happy one. She has pretty much lost everything at this point. It's nice to have a book end, and there not be rainbows and happy kitties prancing around. Oh wait. There is a kitty at the end. Alright, little puppies prancing around. I don't think all books should have happy endings. Especially, if there is another in the series following hot on it's trails.
I have to say though, I saw the major plot twist coming from a mile away. Even though it seemed predictable to me I hope some people were shocked by how things ended. I also like the take on how these humans become vampyres, and the struggles they go through to complete this change. A lot of new developments to the story, and a lot of unsolved mysteries to take care of in Book Four. Which is due out in September of 2008.
Chosen is a good follow up to betrayed and it's packed tight with drama, drama, drama. If you have read the first two in this Young Adult series there is no reason for you to not pick up the third. If you haven't read any of this series yet, I suggest picking up Marked first, then Betrayed. You wouldn't want to miss out on anything.
