House of Night: Because vampyre makes it trendy

Aug 23, 2010 12:12

I would like to thank the House of Night Series for showing me that, making nonsensical pop culture references and mocking my target audience will create an instant bestseller.

I'd like to thank you for reading this crap so I don't have to. I also agree that the NYT Bestseller's list is pointless. Rarely does anything land on there that I'm interested in which makes me sad as a budding writer myself.

Hi Melina, great review ,I was planning to buy this book tomorrow and you just save 20 bucks, thanks for that.

Have any recommendations on good Vampire book series (besides Sookie Stackhouse and Anne Rice's books, I'm already reading those) ? Anyways, keep writing and vlogging.

Ps : Sorry my bad english, I'm brazilian

I AM NOT ALONE!!! I AM GLAD!!!! This book drives me INSANE within the first 50 pages and I wanted nothing more than to beat it into pulp, except that it was a library book and i cannot destroy it.

Good Lord the HoN done got to you too! I tried, I really tried with this series but halfway through book 5 I just gave up. I think these books wiped out a few brain cells along the way.
I guess if one likes 'awesomely bad!" types of books then this is right up their alley.
My sis-in-law was talking about reading this series and I shut that down toot sweet! I was not about to subject her to this trash.
Thanks for putting the warning out there.
Love your review/rant btw :)
