Book Review: House of Night

Part I: April 14, 2011

Finally done with the first novel "MARKED", one word -- SMASHING!
twas a pretty good read.. it's a vampire story but a whole lot different from Stephenie Meyer's Twilight, the setting and character is new and unique! it's like Twilight, Mean Girls and Harry Potter combined.. reading each chapter is a joy for me..

i love all the characters especially Erik - he is so damn hot! i would looove to suck and lick his blood if im a vamp or human - i dont care! i just wanna suck/lick him.. real baaaaaaad! lol

<-- best description of ERIK
GORGEOUS ryt?!!!!

(UPDATE: i take this back, Erik is a jerk! ugh, Heath and Stark is LOOOOVE!!!)



Part II: April 23, 2011 (Update)

Done with the 8th novel "AWAKENED", House of Night is the BEST! much better than twilight..

what i love about this series is that it doesn't center on love story alone, it discuss friendship, family and religion as well.. i fell in love with all the characters, and the death of some has shaken me to the core -- ugh this book made me cry a gazillion times!

i cant wait to get my hands on the last novel "DESTINED" - November pls come real soon!

Heath is coming back - from the dead, as a vessel to destroy the one person he loves! OMIGOSH! is his love for zoey enough to recognize her before it's too late? before he kills the main reason he came back?!

and what will happen to Stark? He's starting to be controlled by Kalona - unconsciously on that matter! so, its death for Stark or Kalona! but i dont want Stark to die, ill miss his hot body and his cocky-smile.. i really do hope that zoey can keep both guys.. once she did she'll be invincible.. having two strong guys beside her - Neferet will surely go crazy lol..

DRAGON'S OATH is coming this July, prequel for the series.. im not really interested with Dragon but for collection sake, i will definitely buy the book!

Book Lust: House of Night

My latest craze right now is BOOKS! i want to buy every book i see.. the first book i read was the "Twilight Saga", i finished each of them in a day or two.. i was one of the many people who goes and calls the bookstore all the time just to have this book since its always sold-out! twilight for me is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!  i was never a book lover, i actually hated books - i thought they were BORING.. but with TWILIGHT i had a really great time - i laughed and cried with the characters and i fell in love with Jacob Black (i badly want to slap Bella in the face for choosing Edward)! this book made me love reading, i realized that it can be fun too!

HAVE YOU BEEN MARKED?
"Marked" is the first novel in the House of Night Series by P.C. Cast, i just got it today and im really excited to start reading.. twa's pretty thin compared to Twilight, i think i can finish the book in one seating..

I've heard a lot of great reviews/comments about this book so im really expecting a lot! they say that this book is way better than Twilight, we'll see.. im pretty much excited with it that i already want to buy the second and third book.. hubby is also interested and intrigued with the story cuz he loves twilight a lot!

SUMMARY (from the book jacket)
Enter the dark, magical world of the House of Night, a world very much like our own, except here vampyres have always existed. Sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird has just been Marked as a fledgling vampyre and joins the House of Night, a school where she will train to become an adult vampyre. That is, if she makes it through the Change – and not all those who are Marked do.
It sucks to begin a new life, especially away from her friends, and on top of that, Zoey is no average fledgling. She has been chosen as special by the vampyre Goddess Nyx. Zoey discovers she has amazing powers, but along with her powers come bloodlust and an unfortunate ability to Imprint her human ex-boyfriend.
To add to her stress, 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 group, is misusing 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.
