Professional Review:

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.

   Summary: Nice Climax
Zoey truly screwed up royally in the previous books when she decided it would be best to keep secrets from her friends. In the end, strangely enough, her enemy was the only one willing to stand up for her and stick by her. Yet, even Aphrodite paid a price for doing so when she became human again at the end of Chosen.

Untamed begins with Aphrodite returning to school and meeting up with Zoey again, only this time it is because she has another vision of death--Zoey's death. Apparently, Nyx is sending visions to Aphrodite to warn Zoey that either she makes up with her friends, or she will die alone and that will cause all hell to break loose, literally.

I liked the fact that Cast+Cast didn't make everything just honky dory for Zoey. She mistreated two boys and was betrayed by one and now she's eating crow. She won't be easily forgiven for the part she played in hurting two good people who cared deeply about her. Because of that, this book was not all romancy like previous ones. Zoey has a mission and mystery to solve. This increases the pace of the storyline. I also liked the part Aphrodite plays--the reader gets to know her on a much deeper level since she seems to be the predominate friend in this novel.

This is definitely worth reading but I would recommend starting from the first and not skipping novels. Otherwise you would be truly lost.

   Summary: Enchanting Review: Untamed
UNTAMED
P.C. CAST & KRISTIN CAST
Paranormal YA

Rating: 4.5 Enchantments

Starting two days after 'Chosen' ended, UNTAMED kicks off with Zoey feeling isolated from her friends. After the 'outing' of her relationship with Loren as well as the realization that Stevie Ray was an 'undead dead' her friends are having issues trusting her. If they could only realize the reason they were left in the dark was for their own safety, but all they want to see right now is that Zoey kept secrets, important secrets from them. But when Aphrodite returns unexpectedly to the House of Night, she isn't alone. She's brought Stevie Ray back with her, along with news of a set of horrifying visions of the future--there's a war coming between the vampyres and the humans and its Zoey's demise that sparks it.

The fourth in the House of Night series, UNTAMED takes Zoey and her circle of friends down an unexpected and surprising path. Knowing that the target on her back is larger than anyone could have imagined, her new unusual alliance with Aphrodite and the growing tensions between her and the high priestess Neferet, Zoey's determined to keep Aphrodite's vision from coming true.
After the surprising deaths of Professor Nolan and Loren Blake, Zoey's willing to do whatever it takes to keep everyone she cares about safe.

While there were still a few good chunks of back story scattered through the first half of the book, UNTAMED moves forward at a brisk pace. Aphrodite's surprising infiltration into Zoey's circle of friends, or at least her friendship with Zoey, continues which I was so glad to see as she's become a favorite of mine in the last two books. Actually, at times I thought she stole a few scenes, especially early on when she was helping Zoey and Stevie Ray. But my favorite thing about Aphrodite I think is her continual comebacks to the Twins comments. I loved Zoey's sheer will to keep Aphrodite's vision from coming true and the ending, well there really isn't another way to describe it but heart pounding and jaw dropping.

After an ending that will leave you breathless and wondering what lies ahead for Zoey and her friends, I can't wait to see what happens next! One of the best and possibly my favorite book of the entire HOUSE OF NIGHT series, UNTAMED will keep you riveted till the very last sentence.

   Summary: Very entertaining...can't wait for the next one in the series
I thought this was the best book in the series so far. I can't wait for the next one to come out! I recommend it for both teenagers and adults.

   Summary: riveting
Like all the other books this book keeps wanting more. I just didnt like the ending too much because the Cast girls leave almost open ended which is driving my crazy since the next book wont come out till this summer.!

   Summary: Thanks for the cliffhanger...
I wish I had waited to buy (or to read) this book because it will be some time before the next installment is out. If you have been following Zoe's story, the only things about this book that will disappoint you are the cliffhanger ending and the wait for the next book...
