The House of Night Series

Title: The House of Night Series

 By: P.C. Cast & Kristen Cast

Genre: Fantasy Fiction

The House of Night Series are books about an Oklahoma girl named Zoey Redbird, who is Marked to become a vampyre and has to go to a school called The House of Night. All vampyre fledglings have an outline of a sapphire-blue crescent moon embroidered on his or her forehead. Zoey’s moon, however, is completely filled in, as if she is an adult vampyre. And after she saves a “The Dark Daughters” from flesh eating ghosts that the High Priestess in training conjures on Halloween, she receives the tattoos of an adult vamp. Neferet, the current High Priestess and Zoey’s mentor, makes Zoey the new High Priestess in training after she kicks Aphrodite out of the Dark Daughters. But later in the series, Zoey realizes that Neferet is actually evil and is planning to start a war against humans. Zoey and her friends (Damien, Shaunee, Erin, Aphrodite, and the newest kind of vampye Stevie Rae.) must find a way to stop Neferet and save humanity.

I would recommend this book for students from grades 7^th to college. High school students would particularly enjoy this series because of the fast-paced, action-filled plot.
