Ready for another Cast novel? The ninth novel in the House of Night series, DESTINED has been released. Overall, this novel is an exciting read for those who are fans of the series. If you are not a follower of the series, I will warn you that this is not the book to start off with. It would be better to begin with the first book Marked.

One of the main characters, Zoey is not in this book as much. Although this fact may disappoint some readers, it gives us a chance to get to know the other characters who have been introduced through out the series. Characters such as Stevie Rae, will become more familiar and you will discover that they are just as fun to read about. The characters we follow in DESTINED are very dynamic, mature through the story, and change with their decisions and actions-a great quality in a novel. The relationships that have developed within the span of the series continue to grow and change, with love interests coming together and growing apart.

As you continue the beloved House of Night series, the plotline may seem repetitive but any fan of the books will feel the excitement that has been found in the previous stories. The events varied, some were a great pace while others could have used the speed button. Any avid fan of The House of Night series will devour DESTINED and immediately beg for the next installment of the series, which is expected to be release in late 2012.
