"it could’ve really explored what it would be like if vampires and humans existed side by side in the modern world, instead 99% of the book is about Zoey being a judgemental bitch."
Indeed! Although if you're looking for a GOOD vampire book that has that idea, "Vampire High" does use it, though not to a huge extent. Basically, vampires live with humans in this little town in Massachusetts and have been their since colonial times and, by this point, are basically an open secret. The humans know they're there, but treat them like an elephant in the room. Also, the book actually has the vampires being elitists snobs be a genuine flaw and the protagonist is likeable and genuinely snarky and overcomes being a jerk at the start. It's awesome!
"As for the counts, I have a feeling that the Miss Judgemental count is gonna go over 9000, and Vampire Elitist Snobs and Interfaith Smoothie won’t be too far behind (especially the latter, since butchering mythology especially Greek mythology seems to be PC Cast’s favourite hobby, judging by her other books)."
It probably will, yeah. I think this is the crowning mother of PC Cast's screwing up of mythologies, if only because she usually limits herself to just one Parthenon in her other books.
"Nest of luck to the both of you, House of Night pissed me off so much I couldn’t even finish the first one. It’s on the same level as Hush Hush—mind-blowingly awful."
Thanks! It just keeps getting worse and worse and WORSE. And it goes on for TWELVE BOOKS. Plus the three (soon to be four) novellas. Plus the "supplementary" handbook and graphic novels (which actually aren't as bad, if only because one story has Zoey admitting she was needlessly rude to someone and apologize and actually being a good sister).
