ENTER THE DARK, MAGICAL WORLD OF THE HOUSE OF NIGHT
a world very much like our own, except here vampyres have always existed. Sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird has just been Marked as a fledgling vampyre and joins the House of Night, a school where she will train to become an adult vampyre. That is, if she makes it though the Change--and not all of those who are Marked do. It sucks to begin a new life, especially away from her friends, and on top of that, Zoey is no average fledgling. She has been chosen as soecial by the vampyre Goddess Nyx. Zoey discovers she has amazing powersm but along with her powers come bloodlust and an unfortuante ability to Imprint her human ex-boyfriend. To add to her stress, she is not the only gledging at the House of Night with special powers. When she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school's most elite group, is misusing her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herselkf for the courage to embrace her destiny--with a little help from her new vampyre friends.

==The author tries too hard to act young. I thought it was just me, that I found it annoying. Just because an author can throw in some of the latest Gossip Rag headlines, doesn't make teens relate immediately to the author. Big Deal.
I did find the book flow easily, if you could skip over some of the boring parts like the pop culture references or the extended flashbacks to previous parts of the story.
It is a little disturbing how they are trying to evolve Wicca and Cherokee rituals into the vampires. Oh well, I guess they needed something to entertain the readers and try to show off.
Yeah...I'll read the rest. I don't like to stop with the characters unless the book is truely horrid, which this isn't.==
