Um Livro, Um Mundo

“What if the hottest guy in the world was hiding a nameless evil and all he wanted was you?

At the start of this heart-pounding new installment of the bestselling House of Night series, Zoey's friends have her back again and Stevie Rae and the red fledglings aren't Neferet's secrets any longer.  But an unexpected danger has emerged. Neferet guards her powerful new consort, Kalona, and no one at the House of Night seems to understand the threat he poses.  Kalona looks gorgeous, and he has the House of Night under his spell. A past life holds the key to breaking his rapidly spreading influence, but what if this past life shows Zoey secrets she doesn't want to hear and truths she can't face?

On the run and holed up in Tulsa's Prohibition-era tunnels, Zoey and her gang must discover a way to deal with something that might bring them all down.  Meanwhile, Zoey has a few other little problems.  The red fledglings have cleaned up well--they've even managed to make the dark, creepy tunnels feel more like home--but are they really as friendly as they seem?  On the boyfriend front, Zoey has a chance to make things right with super-hot ex-, Eric, but she can't stop thinking about Stark, the archer who died in her arms after one unforgettable night, and she is driven to try to save him from Neferet's sinister influence at all costs.  Will anyone believe the power evil has to hide among us? “

Finda a leitura dos cinco livros que até ao momento compõem a saga “Casa da Noite”, a ideia geral com que fico é que a saga se encontra adequada ao target que visa atingir: adolescentes. Os livros têm a dose exacta de acção, de confusões amorosas, de amizade e zangas. A própria escrita está de acordo com o mesmo, sendo extremamente simples, e com uso recorrente de calão. Para quem lê todos os livros, por vezes a distinção de onde começa um e acaba o outro é pouco clara, dado que há, por exemplo um livro que decorre no espaço de dois dias, daí que para mim tenha sido extremamente complicado comentar cada um dos volumes individualmente.

Para quem decidir ler este livro, não pertencendo ao target, é preferivel não começar com grandes perspectivas. As personagens são muito pouco desenvolvidas, as descrições quase nulas e deparamo-nos constantemente com repetições acerca do que aconteceu nos livros anteriores. O que impulsiona a leitura é a acção em si, que apesar de tudo consegue ser viciante.
