Book Review: Marked by P.C. and Kristin Cast (House of Night #1)

Synopsis from Goodreads

Title: Marked

Authors: P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast

Publication Date: 2007

Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin

Enter the dark, magical world of the House of Night, a world very much like our own, except here vampyres have always existed.

One minute, sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird is a normal teenager dealing with everyday high school stress: her cute boyfriend Heath, the school’s star quarterback who suddenly seems more interested in partying than playing ball; her nosy frenemy Kayla, who’s way too concerned with how things are going with Heath; her uber-tough geometry test tomorrow. The next, she’s Marked as a fledgling vampyre, forcing her to leave her ordinary life behind and join the House of Night, a boarding school where she will train to become an adult vampyre. That is, if she makes it through the Change—and not all of those

My Review

The concept of the story was sensational. A whole new world was introduced to us where chosen people are being marked to be vampires. After being marked, the students are then transferred to the House of Night Academy during their changing period. However, some of the marked students either successfully change into vampires or end up dying as their bodies reject these changes. Zoey becomes part of that world, and the book is based on her experiences and advnetures in the House of Night. It was absolutely an interesting read; it definitely did not get boring

Totally worth it

4/5
