Marked by P.C. Cast


Zoey Redbird Montgomery is marked by a vampyre tracker and must go to the House of Night, a vampyre finishing school in Tulsa, Oklahoma where she will learn to become a vampyre. There she meets Neferet, the High Priestess; Stevie Rae Johnson, her new roommate; Erin and Shaunee who act like twins; Damien, who is gay; Aphrodite, the school queen bee and head of the Dark Daughters Society; Erik the new love interest. Zoey learns that she has extraordinary powers and pits herself against Aphrodite. With the help of her friends, she takes over as leader of the Dark Daughters and begins her training for High Priestess.

This reminded me of the Harry Potter series for vampires. She goes off to a special boarding school, meets new friends, separates from her parents, takes special classes, has more powers than the ordinary fledgling, must overcome the evil student who is in charge. Not very well written. The author's daughter helped write the book so that the dialogue would be true to the way teenagers talk. It is, but it will be quickly dated because of all of the slang used. This is the first in the House of Night series. Some sexual activity and profanity but not too bad.
