Marked

A House of Night Novel

De: P. C. Cast, Kristin Cast

Narrado por: Caitlin Davies

Enter the dark, magical world of the House of Night series by bestselling authors P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast, a world very much like our own, except here vampyres have always existed.

Remember, darkness does not always equate to evil, just as light does not always bring good.

Sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird is Marked as a fledgling vampyre and sent to the House of Night, where she’ll either complete the Change or die.

Zoey arrives with something no one else has—she’s been chosen by the vampyre Goddess Nyx. The magick running through Zoey is rare, volatile, and impossible to hide. Along with this newfound power comes a bloodlust she struggles to control and a supernatural bond tying her to her human ex-boyfriend. As Zoey navigates ritual, rivalry, and a school obsessed with status, she begins to see the truth beneath the glamour.

The Dark Daughters, the House of Night’s most elite inner circle, are far more dangerous than anyone admits. And they’re twisting their Goddess-given gifts into something unrecognizable.

With her new fledgling friends at her side and enemies closing in, Zoey must decide whom to trust, what to believe, and whether destiny is something to fight for . . . or run from.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“From the moment I stuck my face in this book it hooked me! Totally awesome new take on vampires! Marked is hot and dark and funny. It rocks!” —Gena Showalter, author of MTV’s Oh My Goth

“Cast reeled me in from paragraph one. I snorted and giggled through the whole thing, and devoured it in one sitting.” —MaryJanice Davidson, New York Times best-selling author of the Undead series

story good. narrator bad.

i lovw this whole series but the girl reading it sounds oddly sexual in strange places. she goes up at the end of sentances in tone and it sounds like shes always asking a question or unsire about something.

nostalgic

I've read this book a couple times over, but it had been years since then. the book itself is a great memory for me BUT listening to it now in 2021 I've realized some things.

the book seems to praise women, while at the same time demeaning us. slut shaming In the same chapter as praise of women leadership.

the book is definitely written well, it manages to still capture some interest considering I've read the entire series. but there are some parts that come off as complete cringe and awkward teenage angst. some of it seems intentional but a majority of it... well you get the point.

the woman reading the book does a good job managing voices and narration, and it all sounds good. although there are definitely parts where the expression seems off from what I believe to be the true tone. anyway that's my 2 cents.

great book

gonna buy the next one right now! woohoo great story line. must read / listen

Thrilling

I liked this book from start to finish. I love the way the story took off and was filled with all types of details.

Greats Series!

I previously read the entire series as the books came out, I decided to read them again, but with my busy lifestyle audiobooks are so much better because they allow me to do other things while listening to my favorite books!
Re-reading these books over 10 years after they originally came out, I do feel that the writing could of been a bit more diverse as far as word choice because there is a lot of repetitiveness . The words “___(insert name)___Said” Is used SO many times throughout the book, but overall its a great series and I recommend to anyone!
