Bud Werner Memorial Library

As the first book in the House of Night novels, Marked got me hooked to the series. Compelling from the first paragraph, I finished it in one day. Like most books for teens now a days, this book is about vampires and romance. But there is tons of action too. I would recremmend this to anyone who is in to trying new things and vampires. Basically anyone who is on Team Edward.

I VOTE YOU GO TO THE LIBRARY AND GET THIS BOOK. YES. RIGHT NOW. Truthfully, I think that there is no difference between good and bad books, only the difference between good and bad authors. Some authors, while writing the book, are willing to risk killing off the main characters, this is a huge risk because you have to write the character's death just right, or the book will be horrible. I am not ashamed to say that when I was reading this book I was crying from the 6th grade wing, to the lunch room, then to the school's library. This book was so beautifully written, it was as if that after you read it you see through a dog's eyes. (By the way I did not spoil the book when I said that the main character will die, the main character figures that out in the first chapter.) Yes, the main character is a dog named Enzo, and no, that does not mean that the book is childish and stupid, in my mind I think it makes the book better. Throughout the book, Enzo is sure that when he dies, he will turn into a human, and though he will miss his family, he knows that he will see them again in his next life. He is one who is not afraid of death, and like Peter Pan said, "To die would be an awfully great adventure." I have to admit, I cheated on this book. I read the last chapter. I know, that's like a crime against nature, but that was when I cried, and cried, and cried. This book is not all about Enzo, it's about his owner, and the troubles they go through. Those who like Marley and Me, read this, in my opinion it's ten times better.

This is one of these books that everyone will love! For some, it's the fact that the main charaters are on a mystery trying to find out why they found human remains buried on Loggerhead Island, others like the fact that the main characters have been exposed to canine parvo, and have recieved 'powers' where if exposed to extreme emotion, their senses will be ten times those of a normal human. For people like me, who have already gone to the library to get this book at the mention of the two factors above, you would like the idea that there is a heroine who leads the rest of the Virals. For those who love Maximum Ride, Witch and Wizard, mysteries, and/or Crime shows/books(Actually the author wrote another book and I'm pretty sure the director of 'BONES' read it then got inspired to make that show.) I would suggest that you run to the library to get that book!
