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 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 (or Nerd Herd, as Aphrodite calls them).
So, that’s the official summary. Let me see if I can fix that a bit.
“After a vampire tracker marks her and then disappears into thin air, never to be seen again, 16-year-old judgemental bitch Zoey Redbird enters the House of Night and immediately learns that she’s the most special vampire to ever vampire, and no one ever lets you forget it. Everyone must bow down and worship her as she becomes the Avatar. But she is not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers. When she is told that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school’s most elite club, is supposedly misusing her Goddess-given gifts, though she has no proof whatsoever, Zoey waits for a plan to fall fully-formed into her lap so she can overthrow Aphrodite and become not only the Head Sue, but also the most Speshulest Snowflake in all of history.”
There. That’s more like it. Buckle up and grab your weapons of choice, guys, this one is going to hurt.
