Marked: House of Night, Book 1 Book Review
age 15+ Vampire series start is more gossipy than gory. Parents need to know that the violence is much milder here than in other vampire books -- two teens are presumed dead, but it's barely described. There's some swearing (including "f--k"), teen use of alcohol and pot (looked upon unfavorably by the main character), and a teen receiving oral sex in the dorm hallway -- it's barely described but often referred to.
Loved: House of Night Other World, Book 1 Book Review
age 15+ Spin-off more chummy reunion than zombie apocalypse. Parents need to know that Loved: House of Night Other World, Book 1 is the first in a spin-off series launched 10 years after the first House of Night novel, Marked. Readers get a character refresher in a quick foreword, but overall it helps to have read the previous series before delving into this one.
The Dysasters Book Review
age 14+ Teen superhero tale has potential but also some cliches. Parents need to know that The Dysasters is the first in a planned superhero-fantasy series by the mother-daughter team behind the popular House of Night Other World series. It's sprinkled with black-and-white illustrations, graphic-novel style. Violence mostly involves teens and adults with superhero abilities using air, water, fire, and earth to cause large-scale destruction like tornadoes and hurricanes.

Review: The Key To Fear by Kristin Cast
I jumped at the chance to get an early copy of Kristin Cast’s latest novel, The Key to Fear. At the time, I was intrigued by the strong science fiction, dystopian setting because it was so different from reality and so different from what I normally read. But with current events, this outlook changed. Although it no longer provided a much needed escape from reality and at times it felt too real to be true, I ended up interested in wanting to know more.
Q&A: Kristin Cast, Author of 'The Key To Fear'
Without fail, science fiction novels seem to be just the right thing to get me out of reading slumps and The Key to Fear by Kristin Cast has been one of them. It’s uncanny how close it is to real life as we all deal with this global pandemic and you would think that you wouldn’t want to read a book when it’s so close to reality, but this is one you don’t want to miss. It was incredibly interesting to read and it had great in-depth character development that showed one way to handle a virus.

Review: Awakened by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast
Review: Awakened by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast 26th Jan 2011 Jess @ Gone with the Words Book Reviews First of all…I love this cover! Kalona is one hot evil, immortal ex-warrior!! And the inside of it is even better! Awakened had a lot of the two things I love about this series, Stark and Rephaim.
Godin bij vergissing
Al heeft Shannon Parker als lerares Engels voor heel wat hete vuren gestaan, zelfs voor haar is het wat bizar om eerst op mysterieuze wijze te worden aangetrokken door een Keltische pot, dan met haar auto in een heftige storm verzeild te raken en door haar spiegelbeeld een vuurbal in gelokt te worden, om uiteindelijk geradbraakt wakker te worden in een andere wereld.
Het huis van de Nacht – De complete serie
Als de zestienjarige Zoey wordt uitverkoren door een vampier, weet ze dat haar leven voorgoed zal veranderen: op haar voorhoofd verschijnt het teken van de vampiers en ze zal haar familie moeten verlaten om naar het Huis van de Nacht te gaan, een school waar ze maar één ding leert: hoe word ik vampier. Er zit echter een addertje onder het gras: als je faalt, sterf je...
Boek | Voorbestemd - P.C. Cast, Kristin Cast
Zoey lijkt eindelijk een veilige haven te hebben gevonden, met Stark aan haar zijde. Ze is klaar om Neferet te verslaan. Maar het Huis van de Nacht wordt bedreigd door nieuwe krachten. En wat moet Zoey met de mysterieuze Aurox? Ze voelt dat hij de worsteling tussen goed en kwaad dreigt te verliezen en vermoed dat Neferet hierachter zit. Zal Zoey op tijd Neferets verwoesting van alles wat ze liefheeft tot staan kunnen brengen?
Boek | Godin van nature - P.C. Cast
Zij, de incarnatie van een godin? No way! Morrigan mag dan altijd hebben geweten dat ze anders was dan haar oppervlakkige vriendinnen zeg nu zelf, echt normaal is het niet als je stemmen hoort, vlammen uit je handen kunt laten komen en met bomen kunt praten maar zoiets bizars heeft ze nog nooit gehoord. En dat wil wat zeggen, na alle absurde verhalen die haar grootouders haar hebben verteld over Partholon, de mythische wereld van haar moeder, Rhiannon.
Boek | Ontwaakt - P.C. Cast, Kristin Cast
Neferet, uitgestoten uit de Hoge Raad, keert terug naar het Huis van de Nacht in Tulsa. Ze zweert wraak op Zoey, en het feit dat ze de onsterfelijke Kalona beheerst is maar één van haar wapens in die dodelijke strijd. Zoey heeft haar toevlucht gezocht op het eiland Skye, waar koningin Sgiach haar probeert over te halen haar opvolgster te worden. En zeg nou zelf, koningin worden zou best cool zijn, toch? Waarom zou ze teruggaan naar Tulsa?
Godin uit vrije wil
Het was even wennen, maar het bevalt Shannon Parker eerlijk gezegd prima in Partholon. Het leven als de incarnatie van de godin Epona is... nou ja, goddelijk! Ze wordt bediend door ijverige dienstmaagden, en haar huwelijk met ClanFintan mag gerust ideaal genoemd worden wie had ooit gedacht dat getrouwd zijn met een centaur zo romantisch zou zijn. Ze begrijpt dan ook niet waarom haar de laatste tijd zon onbestemd gevoel bekruipt, alsof er gevaar dreigt, alsof er in de schaduwen iets op haar loert.
Boek | Verbrand - P.C. Cast, Kristin Cast
Drie meisjes spelen met vuur, en als ze niet oppassen, zal iedereen zich branden... Het zijn onheilspellende tijden in het Huis van de Nacht. Zoey Redbirds ziel is verbrijzeld. Nu alles waar ze voor stond uiteenvalt en haar hart gebroken is, verlangt ze ernaar om voorgoed in het hiernamaals te blijven. Zoey's krachten nemen snel af en het lijkt er niet op dat ze zichzelf op tijd bijeen kan rapen om naar haar vrienden terug te keren en de zaken weer op orde te brengen.
