I found out about P.C. Cast and her daughter Kristin Cast through the amazing website/blog called Free Book Friday, that is founded by author Jessica Brody. I'm so glad that I read and even heard the wonderful podcast interview of Jessica and P.C. talking about her House of Night series. Listening to the podcast about how P.C. and her daughter Kristin came to write the Young Adult series about vampires and finishing school. I had to find out more about this series and to get them immediately so I can read them all. I read and reviewed the first four books in the series and fell in love with Zoey Redbird and her vampyre fledgling friends as well. I was so excited about finally getting my hands on the fifth book in the series called Hunted because in the last book Untamed things were getting intense and so exciting that I need my next fix. Zoey Redbird and her vampyre fledgling friends Erin Bates, Shaunee Cole, Stevie Rae Johnson, Aphrodite LaFont, Damien Maslin, Erik Night and Jack Twist are back together but an unexpected danger has emerged from the earth after Neferet's secrets have been reveiled.
Neferet now guards her powerful new consort Kalona, who Zoey was only figuring about before everything turns for the worse at the end of Untamed. No one at the House of Night seems to understand the threat Kalona poses because he's gorgeous and has them all except a small few under his spell. A past life holds the key to breaking his rapidly spreading influence, but this past life unearths secrets Zoey doesn’t want to see and truths she can’t face. It's going to be a hard and dangerous road for Zoey because she is now a powerful fledgling with the Goddess Nix on her side but she doesn't have a clue how to get rid of Kalona. Now Zoey and her friends are on the run and holed up in Tulsa’s Prohibition-era tunnels where her best friend Stevie Rae and the other red-fledglings have been living since she got her humanity back as well as became the first red adult vampyre. Zoey and her gang must now try to discover a way to deal with something that might bring them all down and meanwhile, Zoey has a few other little problems creeping up on her.
Stevie Rae along with the red fledglings have cleaned up well and they’ve even managed to make the dark, creepy tunnels feel more like home, but are they really as friendly as they seem? They have a darkside to them that scares Zoey because she wants to believe that her best friend and the other red fledglings are not monsters out to kill humans. On the boyfriend front, Zoey has a chance to make things right with super-hot ex, Eric, but she can’t stop thinking about Stark, the archer who died in her arms after one unforgettable night. And what a unforgettable night that was for both Zoey and Stark because now she's driven to try to save him from Neferet’s sinister influence at all costs. Zoey is such a special girl and I don't know how she could experience all she's been through with her sanity intact because I sure don't think I could have gotten through it all even with friends. This House of Night series just keeps getting better with each new book that comes out since there is always one exciting drama developing for Zoey and her friends. The Cast mother and daughter duo have done it again with another amazing great book about Zoey and the House of Night and when I finished reading the fifth book in the series I was already wanting to find out if they have the sixth book in the works. I give this book 4 Open Books:

Listening to the podcast about how P.C. and her daughter Kristin came to write the Young Adult series about vampires and finishing school. I had to find out more about this series and to get them immediately so I can read them all. I also recommend that you all listen to it also so you can decide for yourselves if you agree with me about this series and P.C. Cast's inspiration for writing them with her daughter. I'm glad that I bought these books because it didn't disappoint and now I'm a fan of the House of Night series and I look forward to all the future novels in this series. Especially since I found on her website that the next book in the series called Hunted is coming out in March 2009, which is 2 months away.
Untamed the fourth and current release in the House of Night series is one book that had me from start to finish and left me wanting more immediately. Life sucks when your friends are pissed at you and just ask Zoey Redbird—she’s become an expert on suckiness. I feel for Zoey so much because she has gone through hell and back since the time she was marked as a vampyre fledgling in the first book, Marked. In one week she has gone from having three boyfriends to having none, and from having a close group of friends who trusted and supported her to being an outcast. A lot of very horrible things happend to Zoey in the last book that had me so sad and upset for her because I knew that she was being manipulated and tricked without knowledge of it. Speaking of friends, of the two Zoey has left, one is undead and one is unmarked. At the beginning of the book Zoey only has Stevie Rae, her undead friend, and Aphrodite her new unmarked friend on her side while her previous friends are not speaking to her at all anymore.
And Neferet has declared war on humans, which Zoey knows in her heart is wrong but will anyone listen to her? No because Neferet has already put into motion her plans to poison everyone against the very gifted and powerful Zoey Redbird. Zoey’s adventures at the House of Night vampyre finishing school takes a wild and dangerous turn as loyalties are tested, shocking true intentions come to light, and an ancient evil is awakened in P.C. and Kristin Cast’s spellbinding fourth House of Night novel. Like I said this novel left me wanting more and I'm anxiously awaiting for the next book to come out in March and I'm seriously having a hard time waiting. I want to know what happens next for Zoey and her friends now that they have to hide from the evil Neferet and the powerful ancient evil that has awakened once again to make earth a living hell. I give this book 4 Open Books:

In the third book of the House of Night series called Chosen, fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird’s adventures at the school take a mysterious turn from the last book. Those who appear to be friends are turning out to be enemies such as the Head Priestess Neferet. And, oddly enough, sworn enemies are also turning into friends such as the former Dark Daughter's leader Aphrodite. So begins the gripping third installment of this very addictive series, in which Zoey’s mettle will be tested like never before. Her best friend, Stevie Rae, is undead and struggling to maintain a grip on her humanity. This is a hard thing that they are both going through because they still have their friendship connection to one another that can't be broken no matter how undead and different Stevie Rae is from what she use to be. Zoey doesn’t have a clue how to help her, but she does know that anything she and Stevie Rae discover must be kept secret from everyone else at the House of Night, where trust has become a rare commodity.
Speaking of rare, Zoey finds herself in the very rare position of having three boyfriends, a situation with the potential to spell social disaster. And oh what a disaster that really turns out to be as I read this novel and I can't really believe that Zoey would juggle three boyfriends at the same time. Erik her really sexy fledgling boyfriend is not a boy you should ever consider betraying because once you do and he finds out there is no going back. Heath her wonderfully niave human ex-boyfriend who is has accidently imprinted on has gotten the message that Zoey is a different person now that she's a vampyre fledgling. Now that very dangerously handsome professor Loren is an adult vampyre who should know better than trying to get a relationship going with a fledgling vampyre especially one as special as Zoey Redbird. Then vampyres start turning up dead and that is not good because they're really dead with no possible way of coming back to life. But as Zoey and her friends find out, things are not always what they seem and things are going to be changing for Zoey and her friends especially her 3 boyfriends. I give this book 4 Open Books:

So begins the gripping third installment of this “highly addictive series” (Romantic Times BOOKreviews), in which Zoey’s mettle will be tested like never before.

Betrayed is I'm guessing a couple of days or even hours just after the first book Marked finished and so there are some new problems and excitement ahead for our Zoey Redbird. Fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird has managed to settle in at the House of Night finishing school with some very cool and loyal friends to back her up in all things. She has a roomie and best friend named Stevie Rae who is a country girl at heart but who is everything she could ever want in a best friend. She finally feels like she belongs, even gets chosen as the Leader of the Dark Daughters, which in the last book was being managed by the diva bitch of the school. Best of all, she actually has a boyfriend…or two, such as human ex-boyfriend from the last book named Heath and fellow vampyre fledgling Eric Night. Then the unthinkable happens: Human teenagers are being killed, and all the evidence points to the House of Night. Which seems very suspicious to Zoey and that gets her really worried for Heath because he is a jock who placed against the boy teenagers who were jocks for their rival team.
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 goes through so much in this book only have a couple of weeks after being marked as a vampire fledgling. I was hooked with the first book and reading this one just sunk me further in to the world of Zoey Redbird and her vampyre fledgling friends. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book because from the ending of this book Zoey's life is just going to get more interesting and harder for her to handle. I give this book 4 Open Books:

Betrayed, the second book in the House of Night series is dark and sexy, and as thrilling as it is utterly shocking.

Especially since I found on her website that the next book in the series called Hunted is coming out in March 2009, which is 2 months away.
Marked is the first novel in this series and at first I had a bit of trouble getting into the plot of the story but once I got a couple of chapters in I was definitely hooked. Zoey Redbird is one unique teenager and her world of having vampyres always existing is a fascinating world. Sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird has just been Marked as fledgling vampyre and joins the House of Night, a school where she will train to become an adult vampyre. I think even though vampyres have always existed they are still treated horribly like any race that isn't considered "normal" and that will not change even in this series. But her becoming an adult vampyre is a possibility only if she makes it through the Change—and not all of 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 just a couple of hours after she has been marked in a dream of hers. Zoey's maternal grandmother is of Native American descent and her people believe in the Goddess that is the same as 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. I don't know what to make of her human ex-boyfriend Heath because he seems such a jock which is exactly what he is but he's also very into Zoey. He's very different from his friends who really freaked out when they saw Zoey was marked but Heath was very cool with it. 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. I'm totally loving Zoey's grandmother because she is the only one who understands her and that Zoey's life is going to change for the better not the worsest. Zoey's new vampyre fledling friends are pretty cool and my favorite is Zoey's roommate and bestfriend Stevie Rae. I love this series even though again it's another book in the first person which is starting to grow on me with each new author I discover. I give this book 4 Open Books
Here is the description of the book from the back cover and picture:
MARKED $ 8.95 (Book 1)(306 Pages)
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 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 of 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.
