Thanks Ben, I'm looking forward to reading the next ones, are they as enjoyable?

I think you'll love it hun because you're into vamps as much as I am

Marked by P.C. & Kristin Cast No. of pages: 348 Rating: 4.5/5 Synopsis: When sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird gets Marked as a fledgling vampire she must join the House of Night school where she will train to become an adult vampire. That is, if she makes it through the Change. But Zoe is no ordinary fledgling. She has been chosen as special by the Goddess Nyx and discovers her amazing new power to conjure the elements: earth, air, fire, water and spirit. When Zoey discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school's most elite group, is misusing her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look within herself to embrace her destiny - with a little help from her new vampire friends. Review: When 16 year old Zoey Redbird is marked to be a vampyre, people she has known her whole life are suddenly afraid of her. So when she leaves to go to the House Of Night, the vampyre finishing school, she's happy to leave her old life behind. But as she realises she has powers that are very strong in the vampire world, she knows it's not going to be an easy journey... I really enjoyed this book, however, I'm surprised it's marketed for teenagers, yet has a warning on the back saying that it's not for younger readers, as some the content is definitely aimed towards an older teen I'd say, rather than someone of 13 or 14. There's definitely a teenage aspect about it though, but I did think the sex scene near the beginning was a bit out of place and definitely unnecessary for such a book. I really liked the idea of a vampyre school where you learn how to become a vampyre, it was interesting to read about and kept me wanting to read on. The character of Zoey was very easy to like, as were her close friends and they were all very well written. I'm curious to see where the next book will lead so I'll definitely be picking it up very soon.

Yeah, he's gone back to being more human

Dexter By Design by Jeff Lindsay No. of pages: 290 Rating: 5/5 Synopsis: Dexter Morgan is back. After his surprisingly glorious honeymoon in Paris, life is almost normal for Dexter Morgan. Married life seems to agree with him: he's devoted to his bride, his stomach is full, and his homicidal hobbies seem nicely under control. But old habits die hard - and Dexter's work as a blood spatter analyst never fails to offer new temptations that appeal to his offbeat sense of justice...and his Dark Passenger still waits to hunt with him in the moonlight. Luckily for Dex, there's someone out there with particularly twisted tastes. Dexter may have never been a big fan of art - but the discovery of a corpse (artfully displayed as a sunbather relaxing on a beach chair) naturally piques his curiosity. Miami's finest soon realize they've got a terrifying new serial killer on the loose. And Dexter, of course, is back in business. Review: Dexter is back to his old self at long last, and just in time for Miami's new crazed serial killer. This one is a fan of artfully displayed bodies, who takes a liking to Dexter, which doesn't bode well for his newly formed family... I really enjoyed this one, and think it's become my favourite in the series. I loved the new 'family man' Dexter, and enjoyed the involvement of Rita, Cody and Astor in the storyline. I think Cody and Astor are really funny, and they always make me laugh with their witty little retorts to Dexter. The ending was hilarious, although I already knew the plot point from the TV show, the way it was written was great, and I can't wait for the next book to see where it will take Dexter next!

Just when I thought my day couldn't get any worse I saw the dead guy standing next to my locker.

Sounds like a lovely man

Well if you find some let me know, I'd love some!

Me too I really want to read it, but should be saving for my train tickets home

I've been looking for some too, but haven't been able to find any nice ones that aren't a shocking price

Crisps without fail, especially cheese or cheese & onion flavours!

I think it's because they think a different title will appeal more here than the one originally released there, that's why they change the covers too

Welcome

Be sure to come back and tell us what you think once you've watched it

Hey Ben I'm doing good thanks, how about you? Sounds like you had a fab holiday, next time don't forget to take me okay?! Yeah it does sound right up my street, and I think Mac would definitely like it too if you want to mention it to him I'll let you know as soon as I read Marked, I seem to be on a vampire kick atm, so I'm hoping I'll be one of the ones that like it!

It's definitely worth watching now

Ohh, The Death List looks like exactly my kind of thing, so I'll be getting that! Just looked on Amazon for it and there's a sequel called The Soul Collector, not sure if you know already, but thought I'd let you know just in case you didn't! I also just got Marked through the post today, so I'm glad you mostly like that series

It's the bit coming up after the honeymoon that most people disliked Nici, although I didn't like it at first, I like it after a few re-reads

I agree

I blame you for the stomach ache I have After seeing this at the top of the page earlier I really wanted mash, so I made some for tea and now my stomach is so full it hurts It was good though We had it with peri peri chicken

I've added Howl's Moving Castle to my wishlist You're belting through books atm though aren't you! And you seem to be enjoying majority of them so that's great
