It is impossible not to compare house of night with Harry Potter. Zoey includes a school to learn to become a vampire, she is ill at ease, she has difficulty communicating with her family, she made true friends in this school, it is more powerful than all the vampires who preceded she has a mark on his forehead. It does not remind you a little boy with a lightning bolt scar on his forehead ?? The resemblance to Harry Potter aside, I'd say this is a book which mixes mystery, suspense, friendship, love. It reads easily and quickly with a "young" language. We spend a good time but especially for teens but adults can enjoy it just as much.
