Description
Before he was freed by Neferet, Kalona was imprisoned within the earth for centuries because of the Darkness in his heart. But what happened to the Other World's Kalona? It's as though he's been forgotten, or maybe he never existed at all . . . In the present, Other Neferet may have left her House of Night, but she has far from given up her goal of immortality and world domination. As she operates in secret to gain access to Old Magick, the new High Priestess, Anastasia Lankford, works show more toward peace and acceptance for the vampyres of the Other World. But just as Other Kevin's broken heart will take time to heal, peace in that world will also take time and work—and not all of the Other World vampyres want peace. After all, why should they return to being shunned by humans, especially when they've had a taste of how it feels to be in power?Meanwhile, Zoey is desperate to help rid the Other World of Neferet once and for all, and not knowing what's going on over there is eating away at her. But, as the Nerd Herd warns, it's far too dangerous to call on Old Magick time and again. As a distraction, she throws herself into her work and attempts to bring the humans and vampyres of Tulsa closer together with the first human-vampyre swim meet in history! It's too bad that something always seems to go wrong whenever the stakes are high. What happens when worlds clash and powers that should be left alone are awakened? Can Other Kevin and his world heal from the wounds Neferet continues to inflict? Can Old Magick ever truly be harnessed and used for good? Or will Darkness extinguish Light and leave our heroes broken, hopeless, and as forgotten as Kalona of the Silver Wings? Don't miss this second to last volume in the House of Night Other World saga! A Publishers Weekly Pick of YA Books for Fall.

This story starts with Other Erebus, Nyx and Kalona, which I enjoyed reading but it seemed odd that they would have an Other self, why wouldn't Nyx have access to all the realms? I can guess why but it just didn't seem right and I'm disappointed we never get back to them in this book after the beginning.
Then we go right where 'Loved' ended. Neferet is on the run with her nasty tentacle pets, determined to become immortal she makes a deal with the White Bull.
The other world House of Night are trying to recover from all the damage Neferet caused with the humans and the red vampires, as well as prevent her from becoming immortal.
This story is mostly about the changes and plans happening to the otherworld Neferet and her handmaiden Lynette, show more with just a little bit about what's going on with the House of Nights in both worlds.
This book has heavy influences from Native American cultures and clearly has a lot of underlying messages it wants to convey about how we treat each other and the environment. It can be heavy handed at times detracting from the story.
While I enjoyed the previous series, I'm disappointed that this book took a long time to progress the story so little, it spent a lot of time in repetitive sermonizing and left the reader with a cliffhanger that didn't seem necessary. I'm unsure at this point if I'll read the next book I'm just that annoyed.
