Book one in the new House of Night Other World series. This is essentially the beginning of a new series that picks up about year after the end of the House of Night series and yes you should really read that one first if you want this one to have the full impact. While their are efforts made to kind-of explain things it is a far cry from having all the information from reading the previous series. I loved it so had no problems reading it first and I really enjoyed the beginning of this one as well even if it does get off to a slow start. The whole nerd herd gets back together for Zoey's birthday (who is High Priestess by the way) after scattering all across the country. Most of them are severely home sick and wish to return and they all grumble about how hard adulting is (this made me giggle as I have been doing this for quite a while by this point). Once the book got past all of this things started to heat up. We have zombie vampires from an another world that crave flesh while being contagious as well. Amongst the invading group are a few members that happen to be dead or estranged in this group which makes things a little weird. Discovering the cause of the problem and the solution takes the rest of the book which has some surprises and twists to keep the reader interested. This is a great addition to the House of Night world. It is great to catch up with characters that I fell in love with and to see that things are not running smoothly even after all they went through. Great for fans of fantasy supernatural type books. Not sure if this falls into YA or the new MA since they are all 18 and above but I really enjoyed so it gets 4/5 stars.
