Marked by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

Zoey Redbird has recently discovered that she's a vampyre. She soon learns that she is a vamprye fledgling after she is marked by a Tracker. Nyx, the goddess of night, visits Zoey and appears to have blessed and made her special compared to the others. It is proved that this is true as she is the only vampyre even known to have affinities with all of the five elements. But life still isn't easy for Zoey. Her family practically has abandoned her, she made her first enemy at the House of Night, she Imprinted her ex-boyfriend, and learned that her best friend has betrayed her. Even with her new friends, kind mentor and possible boyfriend, will she become a full-grown vampyre or will she die before?
The world that this book takes place is truly fascinating. Humans are aware of the existent of vampyres. The school is very similar to any normal school but has its own twist. The ending puts you on the edge of your seat. The beginning was slow but once Zoey arrived at the school, things started to get more interesting. The book definitely builds suspense since you never know who will be there one day and not the other if their bodies reject the change into a vampyre. A new take on vampires that is not only original but also entertaining.
Characters are just as interesting as the school they go to is. Nyx, Neferat, and Zoey's grandmother are very supportive and motherly while her own mother isn't; this makes them very likable characters. Zoey's friends are funny yet loyal to her. Aphrodite may seem to be a classic mean girl but there also is the feeling that there is something more to her. Many other characters make lasting impressions and make the reader feel as though they are really a part of the book.
