Review - House of Night Boxed Set

The House of Night is a thrilling, New York Times bestselling book series that follows 16-year-old Zoey Redbird as she is "Marked" by a vampyre tracker and begins to undergo the "Change" into an actual vampyre. She has to leave her family in Broken Arrow, OK, and move into the House of Night, a boarding school for other fledgling vampyres like her.

It's tough to begin a new life, away from her parents and friends, and on top of that, Zoey finds she is no average fledgling. She has been Marked as special by the vampyre Goddess, Nyx. Although Zoey has awesome new powers, it's hard to fit in when everyone knows you're "special." As Zoey tries to make new friends and maybe find a hot boyfriend (or two), she comes up against all kinds of evil, from the perfect-looking, super-popular girl with not-so-faultless plans, to the mysterious deaths happening at the House of Night and all over Tulsa. Things at the House of Night are not always what they seem. Can Zoey find the courage deep within herself to find the truth and embrace her destiny?

Why do I continue torturing myself? Yep, that is how I’m going to start this review. Now most people will probably have already read a lot of other reviews before mine. If you haven’t now is your chance. 



Waiting...waiting...waiting... 



Ah, I see you have returned. Or did you never leave...? Oh well. Continuing: I decided to review this because I was cleaning my room. Yes. I cleaned my room. It’s shocking isn’t it? I was going through my cupboard (or my mum was, she was looking for my sisters phone. She thought I took it. And just so you know I didn’t. That was a one time thing. And she got her phone back. So don’t be looking at me all funny-like). So back to the cupboard. Someone was going through my cupboard when I found a stack of these books (the 8 house of night books to be precise) and I wonder. 



Why are these not in my bookshelf? Then I remember they were shockingly awful. And you know what? I can’t even remember why. Yet, I read the whole series and all I can remember is a base plot line. 



I have no idea why I did. I mean I liked the first one, but the rest just went downhill. I remember I ended up skipping through most of the book and for the later books. Only reading the parts Zoey and Stark were in (hopefully together).



My advice. Don’t bother. I know people are saying all this stuff about the books. Top 3 things I gathered from reviews.

1. Zoey is a ho. We have a love pentagon going on here.

2. The book is wonderfully written, very teenager like.

3. The plot and story behind the story is just so fascinating.

I disagree with all of this. Except the first. So Sita’s Advice is DON’T BOTHER! You are wasting your time!
