Burned by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast is the seventh book in the House of Night Series. I'm am continuing to enjoy this series and can't wait for the next book.
In case someone who reads this is interested in checking out the series, I don't want to put the details of what book seven is about and ruin the surprises found in books one through six. So here is what the series itself is about, as written on the House of Night website:

House of Night is a thrillingly engaging book series that follows 16-year-old Zoey Redbird, who gets “Marked” by a vampyre tracker and begins to undergo the “Change” into an actual vampyre. She has to leave her family in Tulsa and move into the House of Night, a boarding school for other fledglings like her.
It’s within the school’s walls that the heart of the action takes place as Zoey meets new friends, finds love, comes to terms with how her life will be different now and begins to realize her awesome new powers.

With that out of the way, I will say while reading Burned I thought about how life often times tries to break you. No matter if you’re a vampyre fledgling battling Darkness or a customer service rep battling Darkness (although he prefers to be called boss, well actually, he prefers President, but that is a whole different post).
More often I find it is fighting the challenge that causes a break in you rather than the experience itself. The problem is I’m among those who hate the whole idea behind the quote:
“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” - Charles R. Swindoll
Actually I only hate the idea when I’m in crisis. When everything in my life is flowing, I can hear that quote and say, “Right on!”
But what good is it if you can’t think that way when you really need to put that quote into practice? Well, I don’t have an answer. At least not yet.
In the meantime I’ll band-aid my crisis by saying to myself: “I’ll survive this too.”
Those words usually pull me through until I can get back to stomaching quotes like:
“How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.” - Wayne Dyer
At least when you are in crisis you can remember a quote, I have trouble on good days. Hang in there with the darkness. May Thor send a bolt straight into darkness that lights you way :)
