The fifth installment in the bestselling vampyre series House of Night continues to make our hearts pound faster. The title is Hunted. Zoey Redbird let us into her world again where everything looks like our real world except that there are vampyres. Sounds like Twilight? Well, yes, the vampyre angle is very Twilight but not totally.
I enjoy reading this series more because of the way Zoey tells us about her adventures and her inner views about growing up, being a teenager and relating with friends and enemies. She speaks like a normal teenager and it is just interesting how a normal teenager is the most special vampyre.
How will you react if you’re just living your life, going to high school and doing normal stuff high school girls do and then suddenly you learn that you are a vampyre and a part of a group of vampyres? I remember Harry Potter when he realized that he’s a wizard. But the House of Night series is more riveting because it uses first-person narration.
I don’t feel that I am reading when I follow Zoey’s storry. I feel like I am listening to a friend who’s telling me a very interesting story. Yes, Zoey has become a friend to me already. And who wil not? After 4 installments, readers really feel that they know Zoey through and through.
I think the reason why House of Night fans have this kind of feeling about Zoey is because Zoey lets us into her world and telling us how it feels to be like her. Whenever I open any of the book in the series, I feel as if I am Zoey and I am the one who’s fighting enemies and having fun with my fellow fledgings. When I read it, I feel that I am a normal person and at the same time, I feel that I am extra-special with special adventures and special friends.
That’s the unique feeling that the series give its readers. No wonder it continues to be the popular young adult novel series in the market today.
