The House of Night series was recommended to me by several students. 'Marked' is the first in a long series. I'm not sure what to write about the book. The writing is not great and some of the sexual references seem a bit to vulgar to me, but the story itself has hooked me enough that I had to start the second book. In 'Marked', vampires are not that unusual and everyone knows about them. In fact, most of the major movie stars are vampires. A person is marked when they are about 16 years old. Once they are marked, they must go to live at a House of Night school until they complete the physiological change to being a vampire. If they do not complete the change, they die. Zoe is a student at a Broken Arrow intermediate school and she is sort of dating the BA quarterback. When she is marked her friends turn their backs on them as she moves into the House of Night school in Tulsa. Here she discovers that not only is she to become a vampire, but she possesses gifts never seen before in a 'fledgling'. She has power over the 5 elements: wind, fire, water, earth and spirit. This marks her as a high priestess in training. If you like to read vampire stories, you will enjoy the House of Night series. There is even a website to go along with the books: http://www.houseofnightseries.com/
