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

DESCRIPTION:

Remember, darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good.

Sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird is Marked as a fledgling vampyre and sent to the House of Night where she'll either complete the Change or die.

Zoey arrives with something no one else has - she's been chosen by the vampyre Goddess Nyx. The magick running through Zoey is rare, volatile, and impossible to hide. Along with this newfound power comes a bloodlust she struggles to control and a supernatural bond tying her to her human ex-boyfriend. As Zoey navigates ritual, rivalry, and a school obsessed with status, she begins to see the truth beneath the glamour.

The Dark Daughters, the House of Night's most elite inner circle, are far more dangerous than anyone admits. And they're twisting their Goddess-given gifts into something unrecognizable.

With her new fledgling friends at her side and enemies closing in, Zoey must decide who to trust, what to believe, and whether destiny is something to fight for. . . or run from.
