The House of Night Series

This is a Fantasy based book about vampires by P.C. Cast and her daughter Kristen Cast. This novel is different from the twilight books because in this world humans know that vampires exist. Vampires are created and marked by a tracker. They are marked by a blue sapphire crescent moon on there foreheads. There is a school that newly changes vampires must attend for 4 years (the time is takes to transform into an adult vampire). During the 4 years at the House of Night boarding school they learn about the different changes that are taking place in their minds and body, and the rules they must follow as a vampire. BUT not ALL young vampires make it through the change, some may only last a couple of weeks until there body rejects the vampire change and they die.

This series is about a 16 year old girl named Zoey Redbird, who suddenly turns into a vampire.  Zoey’s is marked in high school (literally in school). Zoey’s friends and family leave her not wanting anything to do with the vampire race. There is only one person that she can count on and that is her grandmother. Zoey is different from any new young vampire that anyone has seen because her crescent moon is already completely filled in, which signifies that she is an adult vampire. In addition to the filled in crescent moon the adult vampires also develop beautiful tattoos that will be made up of some type of personality trait. Zoey still has to go through the 4 years of “schooling”, but things are different for her. Zoey thought that now being in a place where she is like others it would be easy for her, but with her crescent moon being filled in she feels more alone and out of place then she did when her friends and family rejected her.  Zoey goes through all of the typical teenage stuff, that a teenager goes trough. The House of Night School is more like a college where you live in a dorm. All of the classes are at night because the sun hurts them. They will not die from being in the sun it just causes them pain.

Zoey discovers evil while she is at the House of Night and while she defeats the evil she continues to receive more tattoos over her body, making her have more tattoos than some of the professors at the school. There are 11 books with the 12^th book is coming out in October 2014, read to find out why Zoey Redbird is so special and different than any vampire known to man or should I say vampire.
