Marked kristin cast5/27/2023 ![]() and Kristin Cast have created a matriarchal vampyre society that’s a treat to read for the concept alone, even if at times the male vampyres feel superfluous. As her powers emerge and strengthen, she becomes aware that things are not as they should be at the House of Night … and that maybe she’s the only one who can change things for the better. It soon becomes apparent that Zoey has powers beyond that of a newly Marked vampyre. And what’s more, Zoey kind of likes Erik, who happens to be Aphrodite’s not-by-choice-ex-boyfriend. The school’s most powerful student, Aphrodite, has it in for her. But first Zoey has to figure out her new high school. On the way to the House of Night, Zoey has a vision of the vampire Goddess, Nyx, who tells Zoey that she’ll be the first of Nyx’s true disciples. Although she’s Marked, there’s no guarantee that she’ll survive the Change from human to vampyre. When 16-year old Zoey Redbird is Marked as a vampyre, she leaves her family and friends to live in the House of Night-referred to by human kids as the Vampyre Finishing School-to spend 4 years learning about her new life and undergoing profound physical changes. Marked has an interesting premise, but it’s let down by preachy writing, stilted dialogue and heavy-handed foreshadowing. ![]() ![]() and Kristin Cast (House of Night, Book 1) ![]()
