Things I didn't like:

1. It tries too hard with the popculture references and what adults perceive as 'teenager' speak. HoN's timeline starts on 2007, and not much time has passed between Marked (book 1) to Burned (book 7). A year plus a few months at most. Popculture references to Glee (circa May 2009) and Godrick's suicide by sunrise in season 2 of True Blood (approx. August 2009) doesn't make sense, unless the HoN universe had those shows earlier. The constant (irritating) teenage-speak and popculture references remind me of adults who try too hard to understand the "hip cool thing those younguns are into these days" and fall flat.

Extra minus points to the stereotypical way the token black girl slash red-fledgling speaks. Black people are capable of speaking in grammatically correct sentences. It's true. I'm not going to complain about the stereotypical gayboy stuff the token gay couple do, because I understand that not all gay characters can be as badass as the ones they have in Caprica, but the token black girl stereotype borders on offensive at times.

2. The point of view shifts remind me of amateur fanfiction. You know, the ones where the fanfic authors label "so-and-so's POV" then "Normal POV" back and forth throughout the story. This is why they should've stuck to third person when they expanded to more than just Zoey's point of view. And I really don't get why or how they got away with labeling it "Zoey" and then using the "I" point of view, then stick to "he/she" third person when it was told from everyone else's eyes. Not cool, publishers and/or editors. What is this, fanfiction.net?

Overall, I had to put the book down and do something else for a while because it was almost frustrating to read. Zoey Redbird is - MORE superpowered than her superpowered BFFs, all the hot guys are attracted to her, and blah blah blah - a mary sue. Stevie Rae is - trapped in a smaller love triangle, a smaller web of lies, has actually died, and is the super speshul first evah Red Vampyre and Red High Priestess who has supah awesome powers of Earth - also a sue. Aphrodite is - a fledgling High Priestess in training who can see the future, turned back into a human but still has visions because she's just as speshul to Nyx as Zoey is, has her own Warrior hunk, is the fairest of them all but don't worry she has a flaw! She's a bitch! - is another sue. And they have to battle an evil high priestess who can out-think, out-power, out-sue, out-everything them, but that's okay because there's an interesting plot.

It might not be the most interesting series ever, and it might not require a lot of brain activity to understand, but it's entertaining. I wish the books could've been just a tad bit thicker, with more happening instead of them running around snapping at each other, crying over Zoey's soulless body, or inserting comedic bits now and then, but this is the 7th book. I've kinda resigned myself to the fact that the plot will drag, so as to extend its life up to 13 books.

I've bought a lot of better, thicker books for less than $8 though. It doesn't deserve its full listed price of $17.99/$19.99Can, so I highly recommend buying from a sale somewhere, or through Amazon.

1.5 stars

*No Spoilers!

I am a fan of the House of Night series, even though i don't find it to be a spectacular series, specially compared to so many amazing YA series out there, I have always enjoyed reading the adventures of Zoey and her friends.

For that reason, it pains me to admit I did not enjoy Burned. I actually enjoyed the changes in POVs that featured on Tempted [House of Night, #6] and I was really looking forward to Burned and I can't help feeling disappointed with the way it came out.

I feel like nothing really happened in Burned, that the story hasn't really moved forward and we are just going around in circles. The characters don't seem to be evolving and the book was sort of repetitive and it got tiring at times.

Another thing that also bothered me was the amount of cursing going on. Don't get me wrong, i curse a lot, but everyone seemed to be cursing in this book and it felt like too much most of the time, it got me squirming in my seat.

Burned starts right where Tempted ended and the books takes place in less than a week's time in the characters life. There wasn't enough story to hold a full novel in my opinion.

There were a couple things I enjoyed, though. I like the storyline with Stevie Rae and I love seeing Stark around. Other than that, I found that I had to force myself to keep reading =/

I haven't lost faith in the series though and I am going to read the next installment, Awakened.

When you have a series and the books get up to a dozen in the series, you'd have to be a series fan to continue when this story could and should have easily ended around book six.
When the main character keeps being childish, even after all that has happened, it gets tiresome.
Hearing Zoey say bullpoopie over and over again is extremely annoying.
I DO think however, its good to resolve the Neferet/Kalona story line however, but it definetely should end the series after that.
Ten bucks apiece for books that often end at 88% pisses me off when you don't get a full book for the price and when kindle editions cost more than the paperbacks, somethings wrong.
The editing issues are numerous and mistakes appear too often to ask such a high price for each book.
There are easily more than two dozen errors in every installment.
Regardless of the annoying teen personalities, it is a decent series.
The portrayal of a mid-fifties grandma being feeble and old pissed me off. That is considered pretty young these days and grandma Redbird constantly referring to herself as an old woman was wrong.
My mom is 54 and is stunning. Why this particular grandma was old and falling apart at this young age baffled me. If the author said she was in her 80's or 90's, then it would have made much more sense.
I could never give these higher ratings unless the price went down, or an excellent editor repaired all the mistakes & things wrong in the text.

For me, the story has been resolved and going further isnt necessary at all.
