Friday Recommends is a weekly meme hosted by Pen to Paper. This a weekly book blog hop where we as bloggers choose a book that we have read and recommend it to our fellow bloggers. We can then visit each others blogs to see what other bloggers recommend and find new books to add to our TBR list. Hopefully we all will have new followers from visiting each blog on the linky list.
The rules for Friday Recommends are:
- Follow Pen to Paper as host of the meme.
- Please consider adding the blog hop button to your blog somewhere, so others can find it easily and join in too! Help spread the word! The code will be at the bottom of the post under the linky.
- Pick a book that you've read, and have enjoyed enough to recommend to other readers. It can be a book you've read recently, or a book you read years ago - it's up to you - but make sure you tell us why you love the book (like a mini review). You make the post as long or as short as you like.
- Add your blog to the linky at the bottom of post on host site Pen to Paper after posting your blog post.
- Put a link back to pen to paper (http://vogue-pentopaper.blogspot.com) somewhere in your post.
- Visit the other blogs and enjoy!
My Recommend for this week:
Title Marked (House of Night #1) by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast
ebook, 241 pages
Published April 1st 2010 by St. Martin's Press (first published May 1st 2007)
Goodreads synopsis:
The House of Night series is set in a world very much like our own, except in 16-year-old Zoey Redbird's world, vampyres have always existed. In this first book in the series, Zoey enters the House of Night, a school where, after having undergone the Change, she will train to become an adult vampire--that is, if she makes it through the Change. Not all of those who are chosen do. It's tough to begin a new life, away from her parents and friends, and on top of that, Zoey finds she is no average fledgling. She has been Marked as special by the vampyre Goddess, Nyx. 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 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.
My Thoughts
I just loved reading Marked. It is one of the best books that I have read in a long time. The House Of Night books are the ones that have gotten me hooked on reading about vampires. P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast make all the characters Zoey, Stevie Rae, Aphrodite, Erin, Damien and Shaunee stand out and come alive. They make you wonder if maybe they are real vampires out there in the world somewhere.

I really liked Marked by PC Cast, but I felt like it should have ended there. I have had no desire to pick up the second book in the series, even though I liked the first. *shrugs* I don't know why. Glad you enjoyed the book too! Thanks for stopping by!
