Marked

I have recently read the book Marked by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast. This story is about vampyres, and I decided on this book because the cover lured me in!

The main character in this story is Zoey Redbird, just a normal teenage girl in highschool, until the day her life was changed comepletely! Zoey was "Marked" in school one day, which means that she would become a fledgling vampyre that would train at the House of Night to become an adult vampyre. Zoey isn't just any old fledgling though, she soon discovers, she has a special Mark that will define her as "different" forever... Then Zoey realizes that she is going to have trouble there because she clashes with one of the Dark Daughters(a fledgling vampyre that is popular and special too). Aphrodite claims that things always go her way, and that Zoey better watch out if she tries to mess with that! She is invited to attend one of the Dark Daughters' meetings, and discovers that Aphrodite is bad news, Zoey then finds that she is special, and with the help of her new friends, she figures out that she is the only vampyre in history to have an affinity(natural talent and connection) for all five elements, Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Spirit! Zoey makes a plan to take down Aphrodite, and live up to her full ability which is to be a High Priestess! Now Zoey must rise to the occasion she was created for to show her true strength and power!

What I liked about this book was that it kept me hooked from the very beginning. This was an awesome read, and always had me guessing! There isn't one thing I didn't like about it, and yes I would definitely recommend his book to a friend if they liked to read about vampyres and mysteries. I would say this could be read by the ages 13 and up because some parts in the book, and it might be hard to follow along. I also had to inference a lot with this story because it had a very confusing plot, but that's another thing I loved about the book! Overall, it was an AWESOME read!!!
