The House of Night Series by P.C. & Kristen Cast

The series is AWESOME.  I can't seem to find a series that I don't like.  This series is actually written by a mother/daughter team.  That's one of the things that made me want to try the series.  Once I got started I couldn't stop.  P.C. and Kristen put such a different twist on a vampire story.  Zoey Redbird lives in a world where getting "marked" is nothing out of the ordinary.  The world knows that vampires exist.  Once a kid is "marked" they are shipped off to schools know as the House of Night.  There are different ones all over the world.  In Zoey's case, she was marked while at a normal High School.  A stranger found her and marked her with the blue outline of a crescent moon, the first mark of a vampire.  Her parents totally disowned her as well as most of her friends.  Once she gets to the house of night in Tulsa Oklahoma, her world totally gets turned upside down.  The vampire world worships a goddess called Nyx.  In each House of Night the head honcho's are called High Priestesses.  The Preistess has affinities for all elements and can call them to do her bidding.  Zoey's mentor upon arriving at the House of Night just happens to be Neferet, the High Priestess.  Zoey turns out to be unlike any fledgeling the vampire world has ever had.  Becoming a full fledged vampire isn't as simple as it may seem.  While kids are attending the House of Night at any moment they can reject the change and die within a matter of minutes.  As Zoey stays, she encounters more problems than she would have ever dreamed.  She imprints with her best friend Heath, tries to overcome her bludlust which again is something normal fledgelings don't experience until they are a full blown vampire.  Once she finds she has affinities for all of the elements and is trying to control her new found powers things start to change.  I can't say anything else without giving away the story, so SORRY!  But you'll follow Zoey on her journey and you will not believe the twists and turns you will be taking and wanting more!  And HOLY CRAP there's some awesome romance scenes.  Nothing is very graphic, but it definitely gets steamy!!  I just got done reading Burned and it totally leaves you pissed of with the way it just cuts off!  So yes, there will absolutely be more coming from these girls and I can't wait to find out what happens.
