Blurb: 
Exonerated by the Vampyre High Council and returned to her position of High Priestess at Tulsa’s House of Night, Neferet has sworn vengeance on Zoey. Dominion over Kalona is only one of the weapons she plans to use against Z. But Zoey has found sanctuary on the Isle of Skye and is being groomed by Queen Sgiach to take over for her there. Being Queen would be cool, wouldn’t it? Why should she return to Tulsa? After losing her human consort, Heath, she will never be the same – and her relationship with her super-hot-warrior, Stark, may never be the same either…
And what about Stevie Rae and Rephaim? The Raven Mocker refuses to be used against Stevie Rae, but what choice does he have when no one in the entire world, including Zoey, would be okay with their relationship? Does he betray his father or his heart?
In the pulse-pounding 8th book in the bestselling House of Night series, how far will the bonds of friendship stretch and how strong are the ties that bind one girl’s heart?

“My love, speak to me. Tell me everything.” Neferet went to Kalona, kneeling before him, stroking the soft, dark wings that unfurled loosely around the immortal.
“What would you have me say?” He didn’t meet her eyes.
“Zoey lives.” Neferet’s voice was flat, cold, lifeless.
“She does.”
“Then you owe me the subservience of your immortal soul.” She started to walk away from him.
“Where are you going? What will happen next?”
“It is quite simple. I will ensure Zoey is drawn back to Oklahoma. There, on my own terms, I will complete the task you failed.”

My own translation:
(Molto libera in quanto con così poco testo è difficile riuscire a dare la giusta connotazione all'episodio e tradurre alla lettera a me fa schifo, quindi ragazzi...easy)
"Amore mio, parlami. Dimmi tutto.” Neferet andò da Kalona, inginocchiandosi davanti a lui, accarezzando le morbide, scure ali che liberamente spiegate circondavano l’immortale.
“Cosa vuoi che ti dica?” Disse senza incrociare gli occhi di lei.
“Zoey è viva” la voce di Neferet era piatta,fredda e senza vita.
“Lo è.”
“Allora mi devi la piena sottomissione della tua anima immortale.” Lei iniziò ad allontanarsi da lui.
“Dove stai andando? Dopo cosa succederà?”
“ E’ molto semplice. Mi assicurerò che Zoey venga riportata indietro in Oklahoma. Poi li, a modo mio, porterò a compimento la missione che tu hai fallito.”


OMG!!! L'excerpt che sono riuscita a trovare fa pensare a tutto e di più, ora mi aspetto che in Awakened succeda il finimodo.
Le copertine sono fantastiche, anche se io preferisco quella della Atom, credo che acquisterò l'edizione della Little, Brown Book Group. Mi scoccia avere un libro di un'edizione diversa da tutti gli altri... Mannaggia!
Dovrò meditarci su un po'.
Voi che ne pensate delle Copertine???

ANTEPRIMA: Awakened by P.C. & Kristin Cast - House of Night #8 -

Il plot contiene spoiler... se non avete letto i volumi precedenti a vostro rischio e pericolo ;)

At the start of Awakened, the pulse-pounding eighth installment of the bestselling House of Night series, Zoey has returned, mostly whole, from the Otherworld to her rightful place as High Priestess at the House of Night. Her friends are just glad to have her back, but after losing her human consort, Heath, will Zoey—or her relationship with her super- hot Warrior, Stark—ever be the same? Stevie Rae is drawn even closer to Rephaim, the Raven Mocker with whom she shares a mysterious and powerful Imprint, but he is a dangerous secret that isolates her from her school, her red fledglings, and even her best friends. When the dark threat of Neferet—who is coming closer and closer to achieving her twisted goal of immortality—and Kalona returns, what will it take to keep the House of Night from being lost forever, and what will one desperate girl do to keep her heart from being irreparably broken?
