House of Night Series

I posted previously about the House of Night Series by PC and Kristen Cast.  But as you can plainly see from the previous post, I didn't give much information on the series. So here is a new post about the series, and hopefully you can get a better feel for what the series is about.

The series has 8 books so far and I am not sure of plans for additional books. I have read the first 7, and will be reading the 8th soon.   The series includes

Marked: A House of Night Novel  (special for Marked on Kindle: 2.99- limited time only!)
Betrayed (House of Night, Book 2)

Chosen: A House of Night Novel
Untamed (House of Night)
Hunted (A House of Night Novel)
Tempted (House of Night, Book 6)
Burned (House of Night, Book 7)
Awakened (House of Night)

I have linked the titles of the books to the Amazon pages directly, these are also all available on the Kindle.

As for the series---

Marked starts off with Zoey Redbird, as ordinary 16 year old in high school. Within the first few pages of the book, Zoey is marked as a vampyre and forced to join the House of Night, which is a school for young vampyres (fledglings) to learn to become adult vampyres, so that they can function in the world. The series follows Zoey as she is chosen by the Goddess Nyx as special and through the challenges that she faces. There are a lot of twists and turns in the series, which makes it completely unpredictable, which is excellent in a series, especially a series that goes on for 8 books. the first 7 books tell various aspects of the change from fledgling to adult vampyre. She looses boyfriends, friends and family, not to mention teachers. It is a great story that really takes a different spin on the origin of vampyres and the world that they live in. It is not the typical vampire story and is a completely different story than the others that I have read.

A word on the website for the series---it is phenomenal. It has pictures, videos, all sorts of stuff that really give you a little more to work with in your imagination as you sale through the series. I would highly recommend jumping on over and getting a feel for what they have to offer. The also have excerpts from the series. And yes, as they say over there, they are addictive, so don't start if you have to wait a week for the book...it could be painful!

I am a sucker for a good vampire story. And these definitely are worth the time to read. They do not take very long to read and are a fun story. As always, if you have read the series, post a comment and tell everyone what you thought. It never hurts to have some different perspectives!
