The seventh book of The House of Night series.
Tropes:
- Beautiful All Along: Burned reveals that if Rephaim were to choose good and become human, he would look "hotter than an Oklahoma blacktop in the middle of the summer." Just how attractive he could be is the only thing Aphrodite and Stevie Rae can agree on.
- Cliffhanger
- Light Is Not Good: There are two bulls and the white one is evil and the black one is good, meaning it's bad when Stevie Rae accidentally summons the white bull thinking it's the good one.
- Love Hurts: At the end of Burned between Stevie Rae and her consort Rephaim. The returning of Zoey's and Kalona's souls to their respective bodies serves to keep the two apart.
- No One Could Survive That!: What practically every vampyre says about Zoey's Heroic BSoD. So naturally, we all know what's going to happen by the end of the next book...
- Protagonist-Centered Morality: The entire series is seen and judged through Zoey's sense of Morality. Even in this book (when different POVS and new characters are introduced) and someone has a different opinion than that of Zoey's having, they're considered to be having an Out-of-Character Moment at best or they're automatically considered to be a horrible bitch and/or in cahoots with the Big Bad.
- Supernatural Gold Eyes: Rephaim, gets them in this book.
- Verbed Title
