Untamed (House of Night, #4)

by Kristin Cast and P.C. Cast

When I was younger, I was a huge fan of the House of Night series. That's why I decided to re-read them. Unfortunately, neither of the books has aged well so far. There's a lot of misogynistic, racist and weird/awkward comments on homosexuality.

The general storyline is good and entertaining (that's why I gave it two stars and not one), but the writing is not only bad but also redundant. The author describes everyone and everything over and over again. Plus the condescending tone and a lot of judgemental stereotypes.

To make things worse, most characters are terrible, especially the protagonist. Zoey is a mess and slut-shames a lot, which is ironic since she's the one who sustains multiple romantic relationships at once without being honest with any of them.
