House of Night: Marked ~ PCCast, Kristin Cast
Just when I thought worse, can not this day, I saw the dead guy next to my locker with ...
blurb:
as on the end of the 16 year-old Zoey Redbird aufscheint a sapphire blue crescent moon, she knows that you do not have much time to the House of Night, a boarding school for vampires to come. For now, she is drawn. In the House of Night, they should be trained to be a real vampire, provided that they survive the change. Zoey is not absolutely thrilled to have to start a new life, without her friends, the only good thing is that her stepfather unbearable nerve can no longer there.
But Zoey is no ordinary Vampyr she is a chosen one of Vampyrgöttin Nyx. And it is not the only one in the House of Night with special powers ...
opinion:
I have long wondered whether I start the series, the vampires I was really fed up. After lengthy back and forth, I bought Volume 1, but after all and I have not looked back!
For here not expecting a worn-vampire romance, a la innocent human girl / woman meets handsome vampire and falls in love. In "Drawn" revealed to the reader a completely new world in which the people of the existence of vampires (the authors have chosen this particular spelling) know, but still this fear and they are suspicious about.
protagonist is the 16 year old Zoey. Zoey is chosen suddenly one day, and thus drawn. As a result, which appears on its face, the outline of a crescent, and as quickly as possible in the House of Night must. For now it will make the change by a vampire. Assuming her body is strong enough, and Zoey is the conversion (which extends over several years) to survive. Zoey's only desire is actually quickly settle into their new home. But the goddess of the Vampyre, Nyx, a major task for Zoey already has ...
me the book has surprised positively. The History could hold me and carried away. Zoey was very sympathetic to me from the start and since it is all as new as the reader, we discovered by Zoyes eyes a completely new and unknown world.
Even the supporting characters are well worked out. All have their strengths and weaknesses, and loving, like Zoey you win it, or begins to hate (in this case, Zoey "enemy" Aphrodite).
The only thing that could pose a problem for some is the Sprachniveu of the book. The characters are still young and talk accordingly often in young people's language and use every now and then sometimes not so subtle words. I must say that I is not really very has disturbed. You get used to it pretty quickly and my reading pleasure has done no harm.
Conclusion:
Since this is Volume 1 of a series, the author takes time to the reader the world of vampires to get closer. The events of the book include a few days, but a good and promising start for the series. I'm curious how it goes!
