I can't believe I've put off reading this series for so long. It's a great new twist on the vampire story, with intriguing characters and great plot development. I'm immediately putting myself on hold for the next book in the series.

Marked by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast, 306 pages

Zoey Redbird is 16 years old and has just been marked as a fledgling vampyre. She goes to the school the House of Night to train to become an adult vampyre, if she survives the change. As if it wasn't difficult enough being a teenager and a fledgling, Zoey has also been chosen by the Goddess Nyx as a special servant. Zoey must learn to handle her special powers, make friends, deal with her human ex-almost boyfriend, and deal with the power-hungry leaders of the school's Dark Daughters group.
I've put off reading the House of Night series because I thought they were just teen fluff. I read this for the Creatures of the Night book club since this month was a teen read. I was forced to admit to my 15-year-old that she was right and this is a really good series, at least the first book is. I will be picking up the next book very soon, hopefully it will be as good as the first book.
