Zoey and her omnipresent struggle between different men and love interests came to an end when Heath died in the last part and saved me from starting to hate her for her naïve and mindless behaviour. Now that her soul is scattered, Zoey only gets to tell the subplot.
As we lost our heroine Zoey, the main plot is told from many different POVs, like Aphrodite's, Stark's or Heath's which is a very welcomed change.
This novel is structured like a quest with the purpose to save Zoe's scattered soul from being lost forever. Stark is on a mission and we are with him, totally swooning for our brave and fearless warrior.
Another plot point circles around Stevie Rae making friends with a creature of darkness. I know that they shouldn't be together or not even friends, but a forbidden romance makes the series more interesting and gives it a new exciting touch.
Furthermore a new setting is introduced, the Isle of Skye, a Scottish realm of magic and ancient power. The Queen Sciach introduces another kind of vampyr to us, who only know the modern world. Stark has to travel a long way of pain and bearings to become one of them.
All main characters have to go through a major change and are confronted with their worst fears. Zoey (finally) needs to let Heath go, Stark has to fight the dark powers within him and Stevie Rae her growing feelings for an evil and forbidden creature.
THE VERDICT
The average writing style doesn't weaken my first impression of Burned. I just loved the quest character of it. We've got action, a lot of tears and fears and of course a highly romantic love story. Burned will leave you on fire!
