Marked(House of Night #1) by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

Marked by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast
SUMMARY 

After a Vampire Tracker Marks her with a crescent moon on her forehead, 16-year-old Zoey Redbird enters the House of Night and learns that she is no average fledgling. She has been Marked as special by the vampyre Goddess Nyx and has affinities for all five elements: Air, Fire Water, Earth and Spirit. But 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 club, is mis-using 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 (or Nerd Herd, as Aphrodite calls them).

MY REVIEW 

"Zoey Montgomery! Night has chosen thee; thy death will be thy birth. Night calls to thee; hearken to Her sweet voice. Your destiny awaits you at the House of Night!”

Well, several years have passed since the first time I read this series. I remember that it was very entertaining and so unbelievably addictive. I wanted to read one book after the other nonstop. 
And I did. 

I read the first books in greek translation and the rest in their original version because they hadn't been translated. I don't know if they are translated now in greek language. And I don't care because I have decided to do a reread and read the first books in english as well. I am happy to say that the first book is still as entertaining as I remembered it.

The series follows the adventures of Zoey Redbird, a 16 years old girl who has Cherokee heritage. One day she will be chosen to become a new vampire and she will need to attend a school for vampires. Vampires are not dark creatures of the night that humans ignore their existence. Everybody knows that they live among humans and every teenager knows that there is a possibility that he/she may be chosen to join them.

I don't remember many details from the series, hence the reread (because I want to write reviews for the books)
But I remember four things very clearly:

**SPOILERS**
1. Zoey gains a new tattoo/mark at the end of almost every book. At least in the first books.
2. Vampire girls behave more like witches than vampires with their rituals and their affinity in elements.
3. Most of the evil characters, villains and monsters will become well- intentioned misunderstood characters ( with tragic personal stories) at some point and everyone will like them.
4. Zoey will be betrayed and heartbroken by her first lover.

The first book describes thd first days of Zoey at the House of Night, her new friends, her new enemies and her new wannabe boyfriend.
