The story picks up right where the book 7 left off. There is very time wasted with re-capping (which I was very thankful for...I don't like to waste time with a recap). Neferet and Kalona are as bad as ever...Zoey and Stevie Rae still know how to find trouble (or maybe it is that they can't hide well enough from it)...and there are two deaths in the book that totally caught me off guard. I really enjoyed the book and forgot how much I enjoyed these characters and the writing style.
The next book in the series doesn't come out until Nov 2011...so I am again stuck waiting. Sigh. I can't wait for the whole series (15 books in all) to be out so I can read them from beginning to end. I think I'll find a nice beach somewhere to just sit and read the story beginning to end...anyone wanna join me??
“My love, speak to me. Tell me everything.” Neferet went to Kalona, kneeling before him, stroking the soft, dark wings that unfurled loosely around the immortal. “What would you have me say?” He didn’t meet her eyes.
“Zoey lives.” Neferet’s voice was flat, cold, lifeless.
“She does.”
“Then you owe me the subservience of your immortal soul.” She started to walk away from him.
“Where are you going? What will happen next?”
“It is quite simple. I will ensure Zoey is drawn back to Oklahoma. There, on my own terms, I will complete the task you failed.”
Exonerated by the Vampyre High Council and returned to her position of High Priestess at Tulsa’s House of Night, Neferet has sworn vengeance on Zoey. Dominion over Kalona is only one of the weapons she plans to use against Z. But Zoey has found sanctuary on the Isle of Skye and is being groomed by Queen Sgiach to take over for her there. Being Queen would be cool, wouldn’t it? Why should she return to Tulsa? After losing her human consort, Heath, she will never be the same – and her relationship with her super-hot-warrior, Stark, may never be the same either…
And what about Stevie Rae and Rephaim? The Raven Mocker refuses to be used against Stevie Rae, but what choice does he have when no one in the entire world, including Zoey, would be okay with their relationship? Does he betray his father or his heart?
In the pulse-pounding 8th book in the bestselling House of Night series, how far will the bonds of friendship stretch and how strong are the ties that bind one girl’s heart?

I am jealous!!! I can't WAIT to read this one! I didn't know it was coming out in Jan!?!?!?!
This is on Madison's wish list. I would let her get it, but she has seven more books to read from Christmas.
