When I first picked out Marked, I assumed it would be a pretty typical vampire book. I wanted something fluffy to read that wouldn't interfere with my already planned weekend of doing nothing. However, these books really surprised me. I'm fairly certain there are more than ten books, but I've only read the first ten.
I've always liked seeing how different authors interpret classic monsters. P.C. and Kristin Cast spin vampires in a very interesting way. Rather than bloodthirsty creatures of the night, vampires are a well-known (though not accepted) part of society. They are children of the night, worshiping Nyx, the goddess of the night, recognizing other gods as well in their own polytheist religion.
As the storyline develops through all of the novels, the characters show real depth. They are much more than they seem at first. While the language isn't spectacular, this whole series was surprisingly good. I intend to buy them eventually.
I'd rate them 5/5 for plot and character, 3.5/5 for language. Strongly suggest you read these.
