Summary:

After a Vampire Tracker Marks her with a crescent moon on her forehead, 16-year-old Zoey Redbird enters the House of Night and learns that she is no average fledgling. She has been Marked as special by the vampyre Goddess Nyx and has affinities for all five elements: Air, Fire Water, Earth and Spirit. But 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 club, is mis-using 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 (or Nerd Herd, as Aphrodite calls them

My thoughts:

I read this book eons ago and I did and didn’t enjoy it because, Zoey did get on my nerves a fair bit as did her best friend. There was also a lot of slut shaming and some homophobic things that were being said. That was one of the down falls for me. Another one or me was how they spelled Vampire… why you have it spell it with a “Y” that drove me insane reading the book because I thought that it was a spelling mistake at first. When I kept seeing it I realized that It wasn’t, and it drove me nuts.

Another thing that got me was when Zoey said, “She wasn’t skinny like those freaks who puke and starve themselves” BITCH what? I got so mad that I tossed my book. I mean I know that it’s a book an all but the people reading the book have feelings an deal with that type of stuff all the time. I’m not one of them but I have known a lot of people that have struggled with that and it just made me so mad reading that. Now a day there’s trigger warnings for YouTube so they should also have that for books because I have read some intense stuff that would upset certain people.

All in all, Zoey is such a hypercritical bitch because some of the things that she says is just down right stupid and will enrage you to maybe even turn into the hulk and want to smash things.
