Editorial Review: 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.

 Rating:  - MarkedAs I started to read this I went purchased other books in the series. Now I am planning to make this series as part of reading for my upcoming trips.

Rating: - Twilight, hold the sparkles, add decent writingWhile the writing is a little on the weak side and the characters are a bit cliché (okay, quite a bit) this is still a book that drew me in. It's not a 'good' book in the sense that it's great literature or the most creative thing ever, but it is a fun read. It draws you into the story and won't let you go. It leaves you wanting more. Because despite some of the obvious, overly predictable traits of the characters, I liked them. They're enjoyable to read about. The whole environment ...

I loved the theme of tolerance in the book and accepting others the way they are. I thought some of the racy scenes and cursing was a bit much for a YA novel, but to each his own. If you're looking for a teenage vampire novel with a little romance and self-indulgence, then look no further, the House of Night series is for you. Rating:  - Almost good without the ParenthesisI picked this book up while waiting for Breaking Dawn to release. The cover was nice, the story had promise, the reviews looked good...Then I read the book and it was an awful experience. I'm of the opinion that the mother wrote an ok book and then handed it to the daughter to "Teen" it up for her. Most of this is apparent in off-topic side comments, too many current pop culture references, and parenthesis. In fact, because the book was so awful to read through that I grabbed out a pen and started ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
