Zoey Redbird is a 16 year old who only wants to fit in somewhere. Her mom remarried a loser and that makes home life really lame. School is her only outlet where she can be around her friends and feel like she belongs. That is until a dead or should I say undead Tracker finds her at her locker and marks her. Now her whole world is turned upside down. She has to leave school and home and start a new life and a new species. Being marked means you have to move to the House of Night which is a vampire school. If you complete the change you will become a full fledged vampire, until then you’re a fledgling. A very special fledgling at that. Of course the down side is if your body rejects the change you really die.

While at the school, Zoey discovers new friends, a new boyfriend, and new powers that Nyx (the Goddess of Night) has given her. Although things are definately looking up, there are some bad things going on but Zoey has no idea what to do about it or who she should tell about it.

Very easy to read and well put together. I definately recommend this book as well as the others in this series. I loved them. The Casts give you dark but funny, and leave you wanting more.
