Then we have Damien Maslin the “token guy of the group” and very much gay but one of the most sincere characters of the series. We have the Twins Erin Bates (the self-proclaimed “pretty one”) and Shaunee Cole who are clearly not biological twins but are so close that its actually like they share a soul or brain. We have our precious bumpkin Stevie Rae from Henrietta Oklahoma who is Zoey’s BFF and roomie.
#Night book cast series
Over the course of the series characters are killed off and others are newly marked and make an apparent so it’s really hard to go into too much detail without delving into spoiler territory so I’ll just start with the main five who are present in ‘Marked’. Where there is Zoey Redbird there is also the “Nerd-Herd” or the “Herd of Nerd” as Aphrodite likes to refer to them as.

and Kristin often have their character’s smudging themselves and usual ancient cleansing rites to help them in their journey though the change and in the battle between light and dark. Zoey is descendant of the Cherokee people and her grandma (man I seriously heart me some grandma redbird!) is very in-tune with their people’s spiritual rituals and practices which is so interesting to learn about. and Kristin weave seamlessly into the story which plays a huge role in later books. Zoey also has a diverse heritage that P.C. She makes mistakes, she can be a little vain and selfish but ultimately she has a good heart and tries to do the right and fair thing. She is not perfect but flawed (probably why she always questions why Nyx chose her to head the battle between good and evil). Zoey Redbird is our protagonist and she brings with her plenty of drama. The Plot is super fun with the mystery/ intrigue not to mention the banter keeping the pages turning. The books aren’t overly long, averaging out at about three hundred or so words a novel but the pages honestly fly by and there is never a dull moment with chosen one Zoey Redbrid as our protagonist (not to mention some of the other characters like Aphrodite another favorite of mine). Yes, it is a very long series – twelve books and four novellas to be exact – but it has always been my favorite guilty pleasure. HoN is such an underrated series which needs more fans and recognition.
#Night book cast free
A group of girls from mixed groups and I all decided to read the series together and every lunch and free period we were brought together regardless of our background as we piled into the media center’s couches and bean bags to binge read. It was the perfect mix of ‘Twilight’ meets ‘Harry Potter’.

Not only did ‘HoN’ give us that dose of sexy vampyres but also another magical school we could all wish we actually attended.

In the post-twilight-world teenage girls everywhere were flocking to my high school’s media center to sink their teeth into the next paranormal read and ‘House of Night’ more than fit the bill. I also fell in love with how this series brought it fans together. and Kristin weaved different mythologies into their own vampyre lore. Not only did I fall in love with the snarky, realistic inner babble of the protagonist but I loved how P.C. It was eighth grade (back in good ol’ 2010) when I picked up my first dogeared copy of ‘Marked’ and from the very first sentence I was hooked. I think my snot-cry could actually put our Z’s to shame – I can’t believe I’ve finally completed this series! WHOO HOO! In the modern world light and darkness are struggling to find a balance and as an ancient evil is awakened Zoey will need to channel all her goddess given gifts to begin the fight against darkness. But that’s not the only problem Zoey and her friends face as they navigate their new world. Except there’s always a catch and Zoey only has two possible futures either she completes the physical change into a full-fledged vampyre or she dies. She is a vampyre fledging, one who must undergo the change and the House of Night is the only place for vamps to get educated as they do. Leaving behind her home in Broken Arrow Tulsa and not to mention her friends and family she must enter the House of Night – a private boarding school for vampyres. When sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird is chosen as special by Nyx the goddess of night and marked by the Vampire Tracker her mundane existence as she knew it is over.
