Marked is by P.C Cast and Kristen Cast. It is the first in the House of Night fantasy series. This novel is set in a world much like ours – except in Zoey Redbird’s world vampyres have always existed. Sixteen year old Zoey steps into this mystical society after being Marked to begin the change from human to vampyre – a change that takes about four years to complete. But not everyone who is Marked will change – many fledglings cannot survive the physiological adaptations and will die. As if that’s not stress enough, Zoey has been Marked as special by Nyx and given powers never before seen in a fledgling. When all she really wants is to fit in to her new life, Zoey comes to understand that she must assume the leadership of the school’s most elite club, the Dark Daughters. Will Zoey have the strength to do what Nyx asks of her? Will Zoey even survive the Change?

I also read this book and it was very good. It reminded me of the vampires meet the Wiccans; it combined vampire mythology with goddess worship. The profanity was intense, but the sexual references were not graphic, just present. I did like the book and look forward to reading the others.
