Product Description
Life sucks when your friends are pissed at you. Just ask Zoey Redbird – she’s become an expert on suckiness. In one week she has gone from having three boyfriends to having none, and from having a close group of friends who trusted and supported her, to being an outcast. Speaking of friends, the only two Zoey has left are undead and unMarked. And Neferet has declared war on humans, which Zoey knows in her heart is wrong. But will anyone listen to her? Zoey's adventures at vampyre finishing school take a wild and dangerous turn as loyalties are tested, shocking true intentions come to light, and an ancient evil is awakened in PC and Kristin Cast's spellbinding fourth House of Night novel. (Recommended for readers age 13 and older)

 This Series Just Keeps Getting Better! October 11, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Untamed picks up almost immediately where Chosen, its predecessor, left off: Zoey has lost not one but all three of her boyfriends (and one in a particularly gruesome way), and her friends are hacked off because she's been keeping secrets from them, regardless if it was for their own good. But Zoey's strong, and she decides to face her issues head on: she plunks herself among her friends and get them to see her motives and even gets them to begin to accept the not-quite-so-hateful Aphrodite. But there's still plenty of angst to go around as Zoey must decide what to do about evil High Priestess Neferet and the red fledglings, one of whom is her undead best friend, Stevie Rae.
Untamed definitely continues the darker themes that gathered steam in Chosen. After Aphrodite shares her visions that show Zoey dying and Zoey is attacked in the night by unseen forces, the group moves forward in trying to discover what Neferet is planning and how the red fledglings will fit into it. The arrival of High Priestess Shakinah brings Zoey some sense of comfort because Neferet has someone to answer to, but soon things become even more tense with the death of yet another fledgling and the arrival of Erik as a teacher at the House of Night. When Zoey's Grandma becomes a target of the darkness, Zoey brings her to stay at the House of Night as both a help and a comfort. While all of this takes place, Zoey also discovers help from a most unusual place: a Benedictine nun named Sister Mary Angela becomes not only a source of comfort but a strong ally against the coming Evil.
While Zoey's romantic struggles take a back seat to the events taking place during Untamed, the friendships become stronger. I love the developing bonds between Zoey and Aphrodite; I think they need each other. I love the animal antics involved in this book as well because they provide a necessary comic diversion that keeps the novel from being only dramatic. I love the relationship between Zoey and her grandmother, and the fact that her friends are included in their feelings helps to bring some stability in a wild situation. And while Zoey is still unsure of herself, she is also learning to trust her instincts. My only complaints with the novel come from the almost instantaneous connection Zoey feels for the tragic Stark, and the rather neat way safety is obtained for some late in the story. But this series just keeps improving, and I am hooked. I can't wait to see where Nyx is going to lead her Dark Daughter next, and March seems like an awfully long time to wait. I'd actually give this novel a solid 4.5 stars. Recommended.
A must read series! October 7, 2008
I am really loving The House of Night series! Untamed was such a page turner and the ending was truly intense. I cant wait to read the next book in this series.
can't wait for the 5th October 2, 2008
to me this book was slower to read than the last 3. not to say i didnt like it, i did. But it felt like it should hae moved at a much faster pace.
Z finally started thinking about her choices and Aphrodite is more in this book, she is one of my fav characters, the girl you love to hate.
it's my favorite in the sense that Z is learning more and becoming her own person.
bt overall the book is great it has action and, even if Z should avoid it,love .
Untamed is right!!! October 2, 2008
I loved this book!! It was surprising and edge of your seat exciting. I was anxious about it because of how the third book ended with the desertion of her friends in the end. But I was glad that that part of the story was resolved quickly in the beginning of the book. It made me relax and enjoy the book even more. I can't wait until the fifth book comes out next year!!
Awesome is all I Can Say September 30, 2008
Love this book. This is the best book in the series. Zoey finally has all her friends back. So many unexpected twists and turns in this book. Plus it has it moments. The End of this book was magnificent and sets everything up for the next book. The Casts also have some pop culture references that most people know. Besides Nefret has developed into a great villaness and now theres a new bad guy. Even Aprohidite is being developed into a likable character. I want to read the next one.
