I read up to like book 8. I enjoyed it when I was a 7th grader but I cant speak for my tastes now?

My sister did. She said it always ends on a cliffhanger and is brilliant. I didn’t like because it’s vampires.

I have read them. I stopped at like 9/10. I really liked them then just stopped when I had to wait on another one to come out. I may start over soon.

I’ve read them all. Quick books, lots of drama I enjoyed them and sometime reread as a filler for when I have a book hangover!

It gets into it fast, high drama and keeps you entertained. Quick read and always gets me back into reading after a book hangover. The last few get a bit dull but if you read them all you can go back between books and it’s just fun ?

I’ve read them and stopped at 9th. I can say they were good though there was too much drama. I wasn’t a fan of book series that were too long.

Yeah, it wasn’t great, but reasonably entertaining, up until about book 11, when it got really bad really fast and I quit. It was like the author ran out of plot but had a contract to keep writing. Very weird.

I read the first 8 and a half I think? And I’m surprised I got that far. Supporting cast was great (Aphrodite and Stevie Rae in particular) but Zoey was awful and I hate the main antagonist (Neferet? It’s been a while lol).
It’s a very formulaic series so the more you read the fewer surprises there are. It also suffers from the trope I can’t remember the name of but when they have to keep creating bigger and badder things to throw against the protag that it just becomes ridiculous.
Also gross: Zoey has three boyfriends at once, none of whom know about the other, and ONE IS A TEACHER! EW!

@Dana yes I agree I hate extra long series and that’s partly why I stopped reading them but now looking back I miss the characters so I think I’ll give it another shot hopefully I’ll still love them…hopefully??

Yep! Definitely a recommendation if you like vampires. Story line was a little too fast paced for me, but nonetheless awesome storey! ❤️

The series was enjoyable but I didn’t like Zoey that much. I found her to be hypocritical in her views and a little bit of a Mary Sue. Near the end, the story line kept going all over the place and there was a lot of plot holes and mistakes that could have been fixed with better editing. All in all they are a fast read with indeed lots of drama. I’d recommend if you want one of those series where you don’t need a lot of brain power to keep up with the story. Honestly though my favourite books were the 4 novellas about the side characters so I’d give those a look at if you ever finish the series 🙂

I loved them. Literally loved them. But the author kept pumping out more and more books in the series. My intrigue started to die as it went on. It was fun to read at the beginning.

It was a fun read when it started but somewhere along the 6th book I lost interest. However, I did read till the end. It’s not that great of a series in my opinion.

I tried, think I gave up at the end of the first book. Mind you I gave it a couple tries but it never really grabbed me.

I have I couldn’t put the book down like I read book 3 & 4 within a day but I only got up to the burned book because someone who used to go to my school took out the awakened book so I couldn’t read it so I’m hoping to save up my money and get all the books and novellas ?? and it’s gonna be worth it ?

the main character Zoey has so many love interests. Basically this book is full of hormonal teenagers?

I love it at the beginning. But towards the end of the series it wasn’t anymore interesting to me. I just kept reading because i don’t like starting something and not finishing it. But i didn’t like it to the end. Zoey really got on my nerves
