Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Stephanie

In Zoey Redbirds world, vampyres are tolerated in the human world. Those special enough to get marked are enrolled into the House of Night, a school where there are only two choices: survive and become a vampyre or die because the body had rejected the Change. At first, Zoey is frightened about going to the House of Night but with her grandmothers help, is able to make it there. Her mark from the Goddess Nyx is special as it gives her power beyond her age. She matures faster than those her age and has to face with bloodlust, something that only older students would face, as well as the ability to Imprint her ex-almost-boyfriend. However, at the school, she finds true friendship, loyalty, romance and magic that she has never seen before. However, lies and mistrust lurks everywhere. Zoey soon finds that not everything is as it seems in the vampyre world and she must take action to fix it. The plotline is very fast, way too fast at the end but it is full of suspense as well. The reader is able to relate to the protagonist, Zoey, since she is a high school student as well. The book was very intense and kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading it.
