CHOSEN

Things just keep getting more and more complicated in Chosen, the third book in the House of Night series by P. C. and Kristin Cast. (As you can see, I'm slowly becoming obsessed with this series, I'm zooming through them!)
Anyway, Zoey is having a lot of BOY TROUBLES in this book (that's right, smell the drama coming). First there's her vampyre boyfriend Erik (and don't think this is Twilight, because Zoey's a vampyre too) and she likes him A LOT and they have a lot in common, physically and emotionally. *hint hint!* Then there's Heath, Zoey's exboyfriend from when she was human. The thing is, she drank his blood so now they're Imprinted, meaning they have a special bond that makes sucking his blood almost a religious experience for Zoey, that's how good it is. So she can't exactly cut ties with him either, even though she wants to. Lastly there's Loren (gay first name, huh?) Blake, the poet/part-time professor living at the House of Night school. He seems to have a thing for Zoey too, only he's much older and much more experienced, and there's something almost dangerous about him.
Zoey is also trying to help her undead friend Stevie Rae, who died as a vampyre but is now alive again only she's lost her humanity. It seems to be an impossible task to hide Stevie Rae and keep her alive with what little sanity she has left.
Meanwhile she's keeping her whole three-timing guys thing and the Stevie Rae thing secret from her boyfriend Erik and her best friends: Erin, Shaunee, and Damien (plus Damien's new boyfriend, Jack). That's a lot of pressure for one fledgling vampyre, and sooner or later she will crack.
The suspense was definitely upkept in this book, and it was still told in a perfect teen voice from Zoey's point of view. She takes everything with sarcasm and even when there's dangerous situations she still retains her personality, so yes, the book was good. And aside from all the deep character development stuff that I love, the plot is just plain GREAT. There are also some good romantic vampyre scenes in here, for those who are interested. Just a warning. ♠♠♠♠
