Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good...but i wouldn't call it memorable
I recently became interested in the Vampire novel genre after reading Twilight. Since reading it i have read about 10 other vampire series, including this one. Sadly this one is at the bottom of my recommendation list for other to read. The first few books from this series were very promising, which made me read all of them that are released but i was very disappointed afterward. I did not feel as close to the characters as i wanted to, or become attached, at all. And i felt as though there were ... Read More
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Step Above Others Plot-Wise, but Still not Fantastic
After being severely disappointed with the Twilight series, I was a bit skeptical of Marked.However, being stuck in a waiting period while a book was coming in the mail and having nothing to read, I decided to give it a try.It came highly recommended from a friend...but this was the same friend who ranted and raved about Twilight, so I wasn't really sure how much I could trust her recommendations.The back-of-the-book synopsis of Marked seemed...eh...rather typical of teen vampire books....

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sunk it's teeth into me....
I'm a 41 yr old woman, who cut her teeth on Anne Rice. Upon opening page one of this book at the bookstore, it grabbed me. I immediately liked Zoey and wanted to know more about her. The writing style was friendly and spoke comfortabley TO the reader. Reminded me of Richard Peck's writing style from some of his teen mystery novels (my favorite as a teen).

It's a light read yet draws you into a different world of Vampyres than the normal fare. Love the Night School concept as well.... Read More
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - marked
I must admit that it took me awhile to get into "Marked." This book sat on my nighstand for over a year, while I slowly read through the first third of the book. Around page 50, things start to pick up when Zooey actually arrives at the House of Night, which is likened to a vampire finishing school. The idea of a vampire finishing school is a good one & has been used in more than one YA vampire series. I personally feel that Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series is much better & would recommend ... Read More
