"Marked" by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast (House of Night book 1)

***
Enter the dark, magical world of the House of Night. A world very much like our own, except here vampyres have always existed. Sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird has just been Marked as a fledgling vampyre and joins the House of Night, a school where she will train to become an adult vampyre. That is, if she makes it through the Change--and not all of those who are Marked do. It sucks to begin a new life, especially away from her friends, and on top of that, Zoey is no average fledgling. She has been chosen as special by the vampyre Goddess Nyx. Zoey discovers she has amazing powers, but along with her powers come bloodlust and an unfortunate ability to Imprint her human ex-boyfriend. To add to her stress, she is not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers: When she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school's most elite group, is misusing her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself for the courage to embrace her destiny-with a little help from her new vampyre friends.

    I have seen several negative reviews about this book. I have to say that is not what I am doing. This book was a little slow at the begining, but turning out I fell in love with the main characters. The story is an unusual begining for a vamp series, and I am very intrigued. Great descriptions, love the humor, loved how easy it was to read.
    " "Zoey Montgomery! Night has chosen thee; thy death will be thy birth. Night calls to thee; hearken to Her sweet voice. Your destiny awaits you at the House of Night!"...........He lifted one long, white finger and pointed at me. As my forehead exploded in pain Kayla opened her mouth and screamed...."
