Zoey is left without friends and her boyfriends when she loses their trust. Her teachers have turned against her, and she has to regain her friends’ faith. This book sets up the battle between the good and the bad of the vampyre world. Also the most recent title released in the series.

Zoey must deal with a good friend’s return as the undead and questions about humanity, all while attending classes. One of her sworn enemies becomes the only person she can trust in the third book in the House of Night series. Again, great read with sharp banter and pop culture references. Great suggestion for readers interested in the vampyre or fantasy genres.

Zoey is starting to settle into House of Night (even though she is unique even in the vampyre world). She has become the head of the Dark Daughters, but all is not well; humans are being killed and the deaths placed on the House. While she fights to protect all those she loves, a betrayal might threaten everything she has worked to achieve. This book is dark, but there is humour. Zoey’s friends are well fleshed out personalities with odd quirks, and the authors play this up well, as well as Zoey’s attempts to date.

This story is based in a world aware of vampyres, but not one in which they are accepted. Zoey Redbird becomes ‘marked,’ and moves into the House of Night. There they teach those blessed with this gift how to control it; but this does not mean that all of those marked will survive the change. Zoey is given a special gift by the goddess and she must begin to learn how to use her gift while navigating the treacherous waters of (essentially) high school. Marked is the first book in a series by the Casts, a mother/daughter writing team. Great dialogue, sharp characters, and a solid plot make this an entertaining read for those interested in the vampire/fantasy genre.
