Part of House of Night, book 3

Zoey Redbird thought her biggest problem at the House of Night was managing three boyfriends at once. Then her best friend Stevie Rae died and came back wrong. Stevie Rae fights to hold onto what makes her human while existing as something undead. Zoey must navigate her complicated love life while bloodlust threatens to destroy everything she cares about. When vampyres start dying permanently, suspicion falls on the People of Faith. The religious group seems ready to end their uneasy coexistence with vampire society. Zoey and her friends dig deeper into the deaths only to discover the obvious explanation hides a more sinister truth.
