Editorial Review:
Fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird has managed to settle in at the House of Night. She's come to terms with the vast powers the vampyre goddess, Nyx, has given her, and is getting a handle on being the new Leader of the Dark Daughters. Best of all, Zoey finally feels like she belongs--like she really fits in. She actually has a boyfriend...or two. Then the unthinkable happens: Human teenagers are being killed, and all the evidence points to the House of Night. While danger stalks the humans from Zoey's old life, she begins to realize that the very powers that make her so unique might also threaten those she loves. Then, when she needs her new friends the most, death strikes the House of Night, and Zoey must find the courage to face a betrayal that could break her heart, her soul, and jeopardize the very fabric of her world.

Zoey becomes more assured of herself and her abilities, a strength she'll need when the book takes a dark turn that's... more info
The plot thickens There are a lot of things about this story that are so very, very clichéd. The 'specialness' of the main character, the angst, the drama... but somehow, it seems to work. There's a slight spark of realism (what girl doesn't remember a teenage crush on a much older guy?) that seems to keep it working. And though a lot of the storyline is fairly predictable, it moves along nicely and keeps you interested while you motor through it. On the flip side, there's not a lot about this book I'm finding... more info
Decent Bought the series after I read the Twilight set. Not quite up to par with that series. But still a decent read. Took me a while to get into them.
