Product Description:
The House of Night series is set in a world very much like our own, except in 16-year-old Zoey Redbird's world, vampyres have always existed. In this first book in the series, Zoey enters the House of Night, a school where, after having undergone the Change, she will train to become an adult vampire--that is, if she makes it through the Change. Not all of those who are chosen do. It’s tough to begin a new life, away from her parents and friends, and on top of that, Zoey finds she is no average fledgling. She has been Marked as special by the vampyre Goddess, Nyx. But 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 club, 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.

What is interesting about this book is the unusual world this story is set in. It really drew me in with it's take on the vampyre myth and wiccan culture. I had gotten it from the library and read it in one day.

I was so disappointed when I finished the Twilight series...I wanted MORE! LOL! Amazon suggested this book when I purchased Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, so I ordered it. These are very cute books...good for tweens...maybe a little more appropriate that Twilight...not as intense. PC and Kristen Cast are wonderful authors and I have odered the rest of the series...

This was an excellent follow up book to the Twilight Saga. I had just got done reading all the Twilight books and was looking for something else that was just as good. Though I do not think this was just as good as those books, it was a nice transition. The only thing that I did not like about the book was the over abundant sarcasm that was used. Some is good, but this had a little too much for me. Still a great book!

Just finished reading this book. I've been reading other Vamp books (aka Twilight and Vampire Academy). This books is NOT as good as those but it's definitely a great start to the series. I enjoyed that it didn't end on some major cliff hanger and call me crazy, but I enjoy a happy (or at least not tragic) ending which is what this book appears to have. It was definitely enough to get me to go out and buy the second book in this series. The only problem I had was how juvinile they sometimes make ... Read More
