Marked by P.C and Kristen Cast

Cover: Enter the dark, magical world of the House of Night, a world very much like our own, except here vampyres have always existed. Sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird has just been Marked as a fledgling vampyre and joins the House of Night, a school where she will train to become an adult vampyre. That is, if she makes it through the Change – and not all those who are Marked do. 
It sucks to begin a new life, especially away from her friends, and on top of that, Zoey is no average fledgling. She has been chosen as special by the vampyre Goddess Nyx. Zoey discovers she has amazing powers, but along with her powers come bloodlust and an unfortunate ability to Imprint her human ex-boyfriend.To add to her stress, she is not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers: When she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school’s most elite group, is misusing her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself for the courage to embrace her destiny – with a little help from her new vampyre friends.
Summary: Zoey is thrown into hell when she is marked to be a vampyre at the House of Night. With her step-loser rejecting what's happening to her and her mother following his footsteps as always Zoey is left running to her Grandma Redbirds. When she hits her head and has an out of body experiance Zoey becomes the most gifted student at the House of Night. Her probems continue when her ex Heath shows up and Aphrodite the bossy mean girl makes her life an even worse nightmare. When Samhain comes Zoey ends up making the most grown up decision of her life, one that can alter everything that had happened to her in the past month. 

Review: I enjoyed reading this book very much and it still remains one of my favourites. I enjoyed the new out look on vampyres and the way they live. I would rate this book a eight out of ten because it does use some vulgar language.
