Are You Ready to Enter the House of Night?


Who said you can never get enough of vampires? Basically every teenager across the country. Vampire novels are sweeping the nation. You may have heard of the popular book series Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, or Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz. If you've enjoyed those, then you are guaranteed the thrill of your life with The House of Night Series by P.C. and Kristin Cast. The first novel to the series, Marked, starts out with your not-so-average teenage girl, Zoey Redbird. Zoey's life is chaotic when she has an ex-boyfriend to avoid, an on and off best friend, a new step-dad, and a mother that barely pays attention to her. As if her life wasn't crazy enough, she becomes marked by a vampyre from the House of Night. Leaving everything behind, she sets off to stay with her grandmother before taking off and start her training as an adult vampyre. Along the journey, she meets new friends; Stevie Rae, the ultimate Kenny Chesney fan, Erin & Shanee, the "twins" thought to be separated at birth, Damien, gay but loyal, and Erik Night, her knight in shining armor. The following novels; Betrayed, Chosen, and Untamed, takes you through Zoey's journey from being an uncomprehensible teen, to a vampyre priestess trainee with powers that turns the House of Night upside down. P.C. and Kristin Cast's House of Night Series makes a big distinction between what a vampire was known to be, and how vampires are seen in the 21st century. Be sure to look out for the 5th addition to the series, Hunted, coming out in March, 2009!
