A book that reads in a flash !!! I really loved the story of Zoe, unfortunate in a stepfamily, tyrannized by a "redneck father" and who finds himself thrust into a new world after being "marked" on the front by a being of the night. It will become a vampire or will not survive the transformation. It therefore share a vampire school "The house of the night": she discovers a new world where people go during the night when you learn fencing and horse riding etc ... No character will leave you unmoved: touching, funny, bitches, harmful, hateful or captivating ... In a dynamic and entertaining style, the author opens a door to a fantasy world that reminds "Harry Potter" but is much more mystical and enchanting ... So I rushed to Volume 2: "Betrayed".
