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.

- InterestingI truly enjoyed this book, it was interesting and definetly a different take on the way we look at vampires.

- Excellent seriesThis book was too simple for my liking. However, it is a great set up for book 2, which I loved. If you are a fan of Twilight or the Gemma Doyle Trilogy, you will like this book. It is has elements of "Mean Girls" and talks about Gossip Girls and cool clothing. I recommend it for teen girls.

- Good...but i wouldn't call it memorableI recently became interested in the Vampire novel genre after reading Twilight. Since reading it i have read about 10 other vampire series, including this one. Sadly this one is at the bottom of my recommendation list for other to read. The first few books from this series were very promising, which made me read all of them that are released but i was very disappointed afterward. I did not feel as close to the characters as i wanted to, or become attached, at all. And i felt as though there were many ... Read More

- A Step Above Others Plot-Wise, but Still not FantasticAfter being severely disappointed with the Twilight series, I was a bit skeptical of Marked. However, being stuck in a waiting period while a book was coming in the mail and having nothing to read, I decided to give it a try. It came highly recommended from a friend...but this was the same friend who ranted and raved about Twilight, so I wasn't really sure how much I could trust her recommendations. The back-of-the-book synopsis of Marked seemed...eh...rather typical of teen vampire books. The cover ... Read More
