I was a bit disappointed when I started reading this book. It had a lot of teen slang that I've never heard/seen in a book before and just started getting annoying. Luckily it only last for a couple chapters and started becoming a book that I had a hard time putting down. It is a book that I think teens will definitely enjoy and has a few references to oral sex, which is kind of unexpected when it was written by a mother and her daughter. It is about a teen girl who gets "marked" by a vampyre (that's how it's spelt in the book) and has to move to a school to learn how to prepare for when she changes, if she makes it that far. Some people make it thru the change and others don't and will die. It has the usual good vs evil, but has a few unexpected things happen along the way. Though I was disappointed in the beginning, I am looking forward to reading the next book in the A House of Night series.
