Also, fairly often it feels like the authors are trying to force their own opinions on things on to the readers. I cannot count the amount of times the words “hateful”, “ho” and “hag/s” were mentioned, and it really did my head in, “hateful” especially, as it’s not a common word with teens. There were some things I didn’t like about this book, though. Some of the things he said didn’t seem believable, in my opinion. Erik Night, Zoey’s love interest, seemed a little forced to me, too. I guess that’s just something I’ll have to deal with. Shaunee and Erin, another two friends, are cool enough, but the whole “twin” thing – they’re very alike – annoys the hell out of me.

Stevie Rae is just so cute and lovely, and such a great friend, and Damien makes me laugh with his jokey references to him being gay and the only guy in the group, and his wide vocabulary. Stevie Rae and Damien, some of Zoey’s friends, are awesome. I have a few suspicions about the next books, but I don’t think I can talk about them without spoiling Marked. Marked has a resolution of sorts, but there are more questions unanswered, the really interesting ones, which makes me think that the series will pick up a bit more in the next few books.

Unfortunatley, I can’t go into much more detail without spoiling the story, as the main action happens in the later part of the book. Nothing huge happens for just over half of the book, as Zoey adjusts to her new life and the changes that are happening to her.īut then things start picking up when things start happening to Zoey that aren’t supposed to happen to vampyres for several years, some students die due to their body rejecting the Change that happens as human becomes vampyre, and the rituals held by the House of Night and those by the Dark Daughters have some weird effects. Most of the book is setting up this new world that Zoey has to live in along with her, we’re finding out about the vampyre mythology is this novel, the lessons of the school and the rules. I liked Marked, it was a great start to a series, but it read very much like a first book. On the plus side side, the gorgeous Erik Night seems to take an interest. If it’s not bad enough that her friends now think she’s a freak and she has to leave, vampire queen be Aphrodite, high priestess in training and leader of the Dark Daughters, has made it her mission to cause hell for Zoey. Zoey is now a fledgling vampyre, and must move away from home to go to the vampyre school, House of Night. and Kristin Cast - Life changes for sixteen-year-old Zoey when a Tracker arrives at her school and marks her with a tattoo-like sapphire blue crescent moon outline on her forehead.
