Welcome! This is The Review, my review on YA books that I have read. I try to Blog on every book I read after I read them and I read as fast as I can but it takes me a while to read a book if it's long. I use books to escape and I hope you can escape into books yourself because it's the best place to be for me, even though most of the books I read are quite dark. Just warning you. Leave comments!

House of Night: Marked by P.C. & Kristen Cast


Blurb:
So the BAD NEWS was that I'd have to move into the HOUSE OF NIGHT, a private boarding school, known by all my friends as the VAMPYRE FINISHING SCHOOL, where I would spend the next four years going through BIZARRE and unnameable physical changes, as a total and permanent life SHAKE-UP. And that's only if the whole process didn't kill me.
But the GOOD NEWS was that I wouldn't have to take the GEOMETRY TEST tomorrow.
When sixteen-year-old Zoey is marked by the Tracker, she knows her old life is over. Now she has to leave her friends and family to join the House of Night school, where there's only one subject Zoey needs to study: Vampyre 101.
Of course, there's always a catch, and this one's nice and simple: if you fail, you die...

Review:
I like the book... once I got into it and that took me twice. I started it and then put it down because I got bored. But once she got to the House of Night, it got better. The characters are utterly believeable. It isn't like a lot of books like this where all different cultures are influenced and a lot of different ways of life are there. The one thing I can put down on this book is that it had a slow start. But thats it. I liked the fact that the humans knew about vampyres but that fact that she was powerful and one of the only vampyre fledglings with a full mark and I found that quite predictable, but that's what makes a story, right?
