New Book

The book that I recently read is "Tempted: A House of Night Novel". This book was sort of interesting in a way, for me that is. The book is revolving around a girl named Zoey and her friends. It is about how Zoey Redbird and her friends having to try and save the world from Kalona and his new partner Neferet. Zoey and her friends have to stop Kalona before he tries to get Zoey to go with him/create a new world with him. Zoey is the reincarnation of a maiden named A-ya that was created to love Kalona. Zoey finds a clue to what she could do to destroy Kalona from Aphrodite's vision and starts to think about what she did to destroy him. The new book that I'm reading is called "Thirst NO.2". It is a vampire book. The story revolves around a girl named Alisa, or in other words, Sita. Sita is now human because she had turned into a human from a contraption made by her long ago lover. She now has to face the fact that she is now human, so then she is now more vulnerable, and in her thoughts KILL-ABLE. Sita is being careful about what she was doing until her recent lover, Ray, returned from the "dead" and came back to see her. Sita and Ray now have a baby to raise and once it is born, Sita notices that it is not normal, since it needs to drink blood for food. Once Kalika (Sita's baby) grows up, she starts to kill people and then kidnaps Paula's baby (Paula is one of Sita's friends). Sita tries to get the baby back and soon figures out that Kalika was trying to protect the baby and not hurt it, but it was when Kalika was dying, so then it was too late to save her.

Heath and Zoey

"I don't see how. I don't even know what to do about you" (on page 45). Before this happens, Zoey and her friends have just scheduled a meeting in Zoey's and Aphrodite's room (they are roommates) about what they can do to try and destroy Kalona. Stark gets Zoey and brings her to the empty cafeteria to drink blood from Heath to make her feel better. After Stark leaves and Zoey is left alone with Heath, Zoey and Heath start to talk to each other and Zoey says this after Heath says something about how Zoey will find a solution to all of her problems. I think that this quote is important in the book "Tempted: A House of Night Novel" because this shows how the main character, Zoey,  is trusting in her friends to give her some support for her decision of what to do about some things. Heath is telling Zoey that it is going to be OK and of how she will make it through the Kalona situation alright. I also think that this quote is important because this quote shows how Zoey and Heath have a close relationship and of how Heath will always put his support behind Zoey and that's just what she needed at a time like that.

Zoey's Gone

"When she threw spirit at Kalona, Zoey knew that she was too late, and her soul shattered. I know because I'm bound to her soul and I felt it shatter. Zoey's not here anymore. This is just her empty shell." (on page 317). Right before this happened, Stark found Zoey and was about to run to her, until Zoey threw spirit at Kalona and there her lifeless body falls to the ground. Zoey's friends (Aphrodite, Stark, Darius, Erin Shaunnee, and etc.) run to Zoey and Stark says this after all of her friends are trying to save her from dying. I think that this quote is important in the book "Tempted: A House of Night Novel" because this quote shows how the main character "dies". This quote is also important in the book because this quote shows the new situation that is occurring in the book and then it is also showing how the main character reacts to the loss of one of her friends/ her high school sweetheart.

Trouble!

"Zoey! She's in trouble!" (on page 315). Before this occurred, Zoey was going to find Heath because she thought she heard his voice through spirit, one of her many powers, asking her to hurry up and come help him. So then Zoey is trying to find Heath and find him with Kalona, with the fact that Kalona was going to kill him. Zoey runs and tries to save Heath. Stark goes to the meeting room and stumbles by Zoey's emotions. Her friends and Stark go to find Zoey. I think that this is an important quote in the book "Tempted: A House of Night Novel" because this quote shows how Zoey was in danger and needed some help from Stark. This shows Stark's ability to sense all of Zoey's emotions and how he would give his life to protect her no matter what.

Zoey's Dream

"So it seems I cannot escape you, even when I flee your presence" (on page 90).  Before this happened, Zoey was just going to bed and was followed with Aphrodite on her back. After they both went into bed and got comfortable, Zoey fell asleep. After she fell asleep, she was having a dream about Kalona. I think that this quote is important in the book "Tempted: A House of Night Novel" because when Zoey is having the dream, she realizes that she is alone, in her dream, with Kalona, in a deserted island, and now she has to find a way to wake herself up before Kalona does something to her. This quote is also important because Zoey figures out that she can't get away from Kalona even though she is sleeping/trying to rest.

Warrior and High Priestess

"As your warrior serves you longer, you will understand more of your bond with him. Your link with your warrior means he could develop the ability to sense many of your emotions" (on page 68). Just before this happened, Zoey was about to go into Stark's room to go check on how he was doing with the big burn wound on his chest and all, but then Darius stopped her and talked to her out of hearing reach from Stark (out of his room). This quote is important in the book "Tempted: A House of Night Novel" because this shows that Zoey and Stark will be having an even closer relationship to each other because of the new power that he is going to have. Stark is going to be feeling all of the emotions that Zoey is feeling and she feels uncomfortable with that little fact. This quote is also important in the story because this shows that the warrior and his high priestess should have a close relationship and that the warrior has to die protecting his "master" you would call it.
