    About this audiobook

    When friends stop trusting each other, Darkness is there to fan the flames….

    Things have turned black at the House of Night. Zoey Redbird's soul has shattered. With everything she's ever stood for falling apart, and a broken heart making her want to stay in the Otherworld forever, Zoey's fading fast. It's seeming more and more doubtful that she will be able pull herself back together in time to rejoin her friends and set the world to rights. As the only living person who can reach her, Stark must find a way to get to her. But how? He will have to die to do so, the Vampire High Council stipulates. And then Zoey will give up for sure. There are only 7 days left…

    Enter BFF Stevie Rae. She wants to help Z but she has massive problems of her own. The rogue Red Fledglings are acting up, and this time not even Stevie Rae can protect them from the consequences. Her kinda boyfriend, Dallas, is sweet but too nosy for his own good. The truth is, Stevie Rae's hiding a secret that might be the key to getting Zoey home but also threatens to explode her whole world.

    In the middle of the whole mess is Aphrodite: ex-Fledgling, trust-fund baby, total hag from Hell (and proud of it). She's always been blessed (if you could call it that) with visions that can reveal the future, but now it seems Nyx has decided to speak through her with the goddess's own voice, whether she wants it or not. Aphrodite's loyalty can swing a lot of different ways, but right now Zoey's fate hangs in the balance.

    Three girls… playing with fire… if they don't watch out, everyone will get Burned.

      It was good to see some of the other characters get a chance to shine forward...
    • 1/5
      Absolutely vile and boring, do not recommend the series in general
    • 5/5
      I've always enjoyed the series but the past few books just lost my interest slightly, to the point that it was months before I finally read this one. Now I'm really glad I did as it was superb, I loved the new lore and information that has been added into it and given the series a whole new depth. It also helped me that there was a LOT less of Erik and lot's of Stark :D

      The only down side was a spoiler for True Blood series 2. Pop culture references are great but preferably when they're vague enough not to spoil something for someone who hasn't seen that particular show.
    • 5/5
      Very good series can’t wait to read the rest and hear what happens to zoey and the rest of the group even though it was really sad that heath died.
    • 4/5
      Burned is the seventh installment in P.C. Cast's House of Night series. I absolutely loved this book. The characters, and the plot of the story, the fact that it is a continuation of the previous book and its conflict within the previous books. In this book, things have turned black at the House of Night. Zoey Redbird's soul has shattered. With everything she's ever stood for falling apart, and a broken heart making her want to stay in the Other-world forever, Zoey's fading fast. With the death of Heath by the hands of Kalona and her shattered soul, her friends are left to figure out how to save Zoey so they figure out together how to defeat Neferet. I love the plot in this book, the setting, the characters. I love everything about this book and series really. It is well-written I thought. Two thumbs up to P.C. and Kristin Cast. I highly recommend this book and the series.
    • 5/5
      This was the best book, I loved it. Thank you Casts for this wonderful series.
    • 4/5
      This is the 7th book in the House of Night series so don?t read this review unless you?ve read the other books you have been warned!I?m not ashamed to admit that I am super addicted to this series. I love the plot, I love the characters although I?m not blind to this books faults. The language can be rather shocking for a YA book. Some parts are cheesy, some annoying but I always want to find out what?s going to happen next because the world that P.C and Kristin have created is addicting. With Zoey in the Otherworld this book needed a new narrator and that narrator is Stevie Rae which I didn?t like all that much seems as her character annoys me sometimes since she turned into a red vampyre. So this book is mainly Stevie Rae?s take on things although you do get chapters narrated from the other cast and sometimes even Zoey. Needless to say I preferred the parts of the book when somebody else was narrating but I didn?t dislike the Stevie Rae moments. In fact by the end of the book I felt like I understood her a lot more and I even started liking Raven mocker Rephaim! All in all I enjoyed this book as I have with all of the books in this series. If you love the other books get this one. Be warned though this book is a little bumpy it has its awesome parts and then not so awesome parts, but then again so do the others. Over all worth the read and I?m still as addicted to this series as ever and cant wait to find out what happens to the gang in the next book Awakened. 4 stars.
    • 4/5
      I think I liked that this story centered more around Stevie Rae then the Zoe, Stark, Heath, Erik and Kalona pentagon that has consumed the last couple of books. Granted to we still got to check in on everyone else but I was more thrilled to get everyone else's story.

      4 stars
    • 2/5
      I'm rapidly falling out of love with this series. I don't know if it's the flat characters, constant, world-ending drama, or the predictability of the story that's putting me off. It could also be the lame, hoky dialogue style. Or maybe it's not the series that has changed, it's my interest.
    • 4/5
      Like with almost all the other books in the series I had a hard time to start the book but when I got to the middle of it, I couldn't stop. There is just something in these books that makes it hard for me to start. In the end I'm still happy that I read it, it was pretty amazingly good.
      I liked how Stark and Zoe's relationship developed and how they became even closer. Also I can't wait to know what happens to Heath because he is one of my favorite characters.
      I also like Rephraim and Stevie Rae's relationship so it's nice to see where that goes in the end.
      In the end the house of night series is getting more serious and I like it. It gives me something to look forward to. And it is not anymore just some teen novel, it really has a true story and I can't wait to see what happens. So I'm looking forward to the next part!
    • 3/5
      Even though plenty happens in this book, it felt like it didn't go anywhere fast. It was interesting what was going on, but without Zoe having as large a POV role as the earlier parts, it was missing something. Although there is obviously more to the story after this, at this stage I don't feel compelled to continue with the series.
    • 4/5
      This installment felt much more complete, more educated, more adult... all except for one quote, "wrong like manboobie." Brought me right back to remember this is YA fiction in all it's teen angsty drama. Possibly my favorite book of the series right now.
    • 3/5
      House of Night Burned was another entertaining book in the series, however it dragged on a bit. The relationships develop a little more, but the book needed a better plot line. I don't really like the multiple perspective writing but if they are going to drag it on into more books I guess I will have to deal.
    • 3/5
      Another good one, but when will this series ever be over?
    • 2/5
      I really didn't like this book in the series, it is full of crab, though there was some good parts but they were filled with bad words! the book was so slow. the only part I liked that Stevie Rae and Rephaim might have a chance.
    • 1/5
      This was the book that finally pushed me over the edge to stop reading this series. They just get worse and worse.
    • 1/5
      One of the most horribly written books I've ever read.
    • 1/5
      So this book is definitely up to the same standard as the first books in this series but definitely not as bad as Tempted that was more like filler than an actual book and then after a horrible filler story it left off with a serious cliffhanger. Not the best book...but this one kicks it up a notch and I am happy to see everyone working hard to get to a resolution toward the end of the book. I do not like the continued creepy visions of this and that and the like teasing that the author is doing, I mean, I know that teasing is part of a good story but this is starting to get ridiculous.

      I enjoy the characters to an extent. I am starting to not feel the dialogue of the characters are bit, they sound to young in some parts but too old in others and it is messing me all up. Does any teen say bull-poopie? EVER? I almost closed the book and left it right there.

      Other than the above, I really heart Stark and I am just to invested in this series to give up on it so...next up with be Awakened and I am hoping it is good.
    • 2/5
      The story line in the House of Night series is interesting. I like a lot of the folklore and some of the twists and turns... but wow, the badly-written dialogue and awkward responses of some of the characters really detract from the story (like Damian and Jack randomly hugging whenever one of them actually does something mildly helpful - I can't see people doing that).

      I liked the Scottish element and how the Isle of Women was handled. I like a lot of the basic plotting, but it is REALLY hard to get past the dialogue. Teenagers do not talk like that. And too many characters have nothing to do (the Twins, for example).
    • 3/5
      2.5 stars****SPOILERS for previous book(s)****Zoey's soul has been shattered and she will die if she can't get it put back together. ****SPOILER end****I was just not very interested in this one. Mostly the book was told from the points of view of others (not Zoey). I'm not sure if that's why I disliked it, or if it was something else. Either way, this was book 7 and it seems there are now 17 books in the series. I think this is the last one for me. I gave it the extra ½ star because there were parts near the end that I found more interesting, but overall, I really didn't care all that much.
    • 2/5
      I don't like it.I am so disappointed.House of Night is one of my favorites.It made me sad that it went so downhill.
      I just cant believe in this whole story what they only did is bring Zoey back from other world.That's it.The story didn't move an inch from the previous one.
      And so many slang.I get it that people use slang when they are angry or pissed or in pressure.But in here they were using slang at every other line.They were using slang in deadly serious situations like discussing strategy to bring Zoey back.So many "F" words,it just made my head ache.
      Not one of the characters had grown up even a little bit.They were just annoying.The whole story was told in spiritual and hypothetical way and I couldn't understand any of it.What stark did to get to Zoey in the other world is still a mystery to me.I mean with whom was he really fighting and why?I know they said it with himself.But I just don't get it.And all those personification of Light and Darkness through two bulls,I was having a hard time getting it.I mean Light is good and Darkness is bad,right?It's simple enough.I don't know why they made it sound so complex.And why the white bull is bad and the black one is good?It seems to me they just said it because Stevie Rae accidentally had to call the wrong one,no other reason.
      The only thing I like about it is the relationship between Stevie Rae and Rephaim.That's why I am giving it two stars.I really love this series.I just hope the next one will not be vague like this one.
    • 3/5
      This book was a bit different than the previous 6. The pace was a little less fast, however it still had the urgency. Zoey's spirit has been shattered by Heath's death, and she is trapped in the Other world until she can literally pull herself together. Unfortunately she only has a week to do it before her body will die and she will become something terrible. The council tries to decide what should be done about the whole situation, but once again Neferat manipulates the situation. Once she knows what has happened, she sends Kalona's spirit into the Other world after Zoey to prevent her from leaving. Stark, with Aphrodite's and Darius's help heads to the ancient island of Skye to seek the help of it's ancient queen. Stark undergoes a ritual to become a shaman and Zoey's guardian which will allow him to enter into the Other world after her. Once there, he must convince Heath to leave so that Zoey will come back and save the world! Meanwhile in Tulsa Stevie Rae picks up where Zoey left off with two guys (one the lead Raven Mocker who Killed Dragon's mate Rephaim). She invokes the two Bulls personifying Light and Darkness because of one of the (terrible) prophetic poems their new poet gives her. However Dallas finds out about her new crush(?) and chooses darkness, which changes him into the second red vampyre. Luckily for everyone Zoey pulls herself together and her and stark make it out of the Otherworld alive, but not before a showdown with Kalona that ends in Nyx making Kalona give Stark a piece of his immortality!
      There was more feelings in this book, but don't let that fool you, it was still an action packed book!
    • 2/5
      These books are fine and all but has anyone else realized that there are going to be TWELVE of them in total?! After Burned you have Stolen, Burdened, Touched, Cloaked and Wanted. No wonder they are starting to tell the story from multiple perspectives. (Speculation is now at fifteen books).

      Loving the U.K. cover by the way, disappointed its not Stevie Rae like the U.S. but it will look good on my shelf anyway.


      Finally, time for me to actually review it. Okay, so this took me a while to read seeing as I have to study for the state exams the Irish government insist I take.

      Well, I enjoyed this far more than I thought I would, I really did. I still hate Zoey, and speaking of hate, I despise Damien, Jack, and the Twins too.

      But now for things I like, Stark for one, and pretty much anything to do with Stevie Rae and Rephaim, I hope that ends well.

      This book still has the shameless pop culture references and I hate the really over the top "And I suddenly realised what I must say..." moments but all in all, its a good book.

      Lets just hope Rephaim, Stevie Rae and Stark get their happy endings now.

      Oh, I must also compliment the authors for the research they did, although I obviously don't speak Scottish Gaelic, I definitely recognised the words that are identical to Irish.
    • 5/5
      I just finished reading Burned by P.C. And Kristin Cast. It is the seventh book in the House Of Night series by them. This book takes place in both Tulsa, Oklahoma and Italy. Zoey's soul is shattered after her childhood love is tragically killed. Her spirit is in pieces in the Otherworld. Her friends back on Earth are trying to save her life by finding away to get her soul back together so she can return to her body.This is my second time reading this book. Like the first time, I had to resist temptation not to jump over all the sad parts and get to the ending. I loved it as much as I did the first time. I also find that I skipped over some important details the first time as well. I love this series so much! I'm completely and totally addicted to it. I didn't really find anything wrong with this series. However, I do feel that maybe since the chapters are clearly defined as who's perspective it is they could all be in first person. However, it's still good the way it's written as well. Zoey is the only perspective written in first person. The others are written in third person. I fully recommend this book to anybody who loves dramatic and thrilling supernatural series. It's targeted at young adult audiences, but anybody who loves this kind of genre will love it. I fully encourage reading the books in order though. Reading them out of order will get you confused.
    • 4/5
      Not as good as the previous ones, maybe I've missed something?

      Still good, but the "Scottish" was very cringey. Embarrassing to read.
    • 4/5
      Actual rating: 3.5/5.

      I felt like the book was just some blah blah blah...
    • 2/5
      The first few books in this series were good. They were fun, easy reads and guilty-pleasure material. The last few books have been a chore to read, though. While the characters were not as annoying in this book (due to Zoey not really being present) the writing was irritating. I did not understand the reason for switching narrators every few pages. It added nothing to the story and broke it up too much. I have never been a fan of the Kalona plot which was particularly boring in this book. I really like Aphrodite as a character and I think it's a shame she's been pushed to the side and treated so badly by the other characters. I keep reading these books in hopes that they'll return to what they were at the start but I'm not sure how likely that is.
    • 3/5
      Better than some of the others in the series, but still feels like it's being extended out endlessly because it makes money.
    • 4/5
      I think this was the slowest of the books in the series for me to get through. Maybe I was feeling distracted- and I also think that though I'm fond of writing from multiple perspectives, I might not enjoy reading from them as much. It was frustrating to watch Zoey struggle, to watch Stark struggle, to watch everyone barely keeping it together. I think that was what made it longer for me.
    • 5/5
      The story was amazing! Love the suspense couldn't put it down til i finished it!
