Rayna, one of my eighth graders, insisted that I read this book. She loved it. It was a quick read that was impossible to put down-bad girl/good girl, vampires (spelled vampyre), great-looking hot guys, love, friendship, predictability, and more books to come all make this a great package for young adult females.
When Zoey Redbird is 16, a tracker "marks" her with a half-moon tatoo on her forehead. When you are marked there is nothing you can do, you will now be changed into a vampyre. You must leave your old life behind to learn the ways of vampyres as your body slowly changes. One in ten don't make it, actually. But when Zoey discovers that she has been chosen by the goddess Nix to become a powerful high priestess, she takes on this new challenge in a positive way. She makes wonderful new friends and the current Hight priestess, Neferet, has become her mentor at the School of Night. There's a beautiful bully (aptly named Aphrodite) who is a mean, mean troublemaker, and there's the requisite hot guy that is totally attracted to Zoey immediately. What's not to love? The 320 pages flew by. I might even entice myself to read the next in the series (Rayna tells me she thinks there will be ten or eleven), Betrayed.
