Chosen: House of Night - P.C. Cast

I am a nearly 23 year old female who is one of those sad “twilight” fans. I worship the books and thought the film was great. My other half, who incidentally was the one who introduced me to twilight, has also been helping me on my mission to find another book that I can read, after many failed attempts to get into another book. Enter the “House of Night” series. Background ----------------- The book “Chosen” is the third of the soon to be 6 ...
...a 16 year old girl, Zoey Redbird. “Chosen” is set in Tulsa, America and in this world Vampires not only exist but are openly known about. To become a vampire in this series, there is no need for biting and blood drinking. The person is simply “Chosen” and marked with a crescent moon on their forehead, this means they will now have to move to the House of Night, which is basically a boarding school for vampire fledglings, as they learn over 4 years ...

Review of Chosen: House of Night - P.C. Cast

Chosen is the third book in P.C. and Kristin Cast's House of Night saga.. I bought my copy for £4.89 new from Amazon, but the jacket price is £6.99, as with most books now, if you shop around you are pretty much guaranteed to get a deal on it. At present the first five books are available, the sixth (Tempted) is due for paperback release on October 27th 2009, but doesn't seem to be being released in hardback. A seventh book, Burned, has been announced ...
...and background** This is another saga of teenage/young adult vampire fiction, a genre which regularly comes back into vogue. Cast seems to have piggybacked on the huge success of the Harry Potter series, and I suppose possibly on the Stephanie Meyer Twilight saga which were written earlier than House of Night. This isn't a criticism, I am a big believer in the adage of if it ain't broke don't fix it; if there is a current trend and you are confident ...

...starts from the same day the book finishes in Betrayed (see previous book review!), even though there are two books previous to this, due to the sheer amount of action held within only two months has elapsed since Zoey Redbird, the newest and by far one of the most powerful fledglings around, has been marked to eventually become a vampire. After discovering that her once mentor and surrogate mother Neferet, high priestess of the house of night, ...

Review of Chosen: House of Night - P.C. Cast

As you may well know "Chosen" is a vampire book, and after the likes of Twilight you may be like "I have had enough of this obssession with 'Twilght' people have" but this book is some what different. Just like 'Twilight' was different in which the vampires could go out in the sun, and wouldnt die from garlic, holy water, steaks through the heart. Well in "Chosen" P.C Cast twists the idea of a vampire, and becoming a vampire. You don't get bitten ...
...No one makes you become one it just happens, and to actually become a vampire you have to go through 4 years of training, and you may well die. The vampires do not enjoy the sun very much but they won't die from it. What I like about this book is that everyone is aware about vampires. They may not like them but everyone knows what they are and who is one. Not because they have seen them be chosen, but all "fledglings" which they are called before ...

Review of Chosen: House of Night - P.C. Cast

I really enjoy the House of Night Series. I know they are for young adults, but really who are young adults. I am a thirty-one year old mother of two and still feel I am a young adult. I think the main character Zoey, is a good role model, she is a tough young woman, who can stand her own but who makes mistakes. She has a good group of friends but they keep getting themselves in hot water, but then it would be boring if they didn't. The books are ...
