lexiepiper Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 Oo these look interesting I might check out the first one and see what they're like Quote
BookBee8 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Same. I might try them. Although, the idea of Twilight crossed with Gossip Girl makes me want to cry. What an awful combination! Still, can't criticize until I've tried them! Quote

Still, can't criticize until I've tried them! I can criticize, but it'd probably only make me a hypocrit as I'd more than likely end up liking this new series Quote

I did say terrible things about HP before I read it. *Correction* I will try not to criticize until I've tried them. Quote

I'm a little skeptical about the cross between Twilight and Gossip Girl myself , but it wouldn't hurt to give the books a read first. Besides, I'm wont to read anything vampy at some point, so why not this for a bit of a game of chance. Quote
TwistedVamp83 Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I bought the first two books of this series on Monday , I Can't wait to get stuck in , they look and sound really good ! Quote
Nicola Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 Think I'll add the first one to my ever growing wish list and take it from there!! I've heard of gossip girl but have no idea what it's about The Twilight aspect could be good though! Quote

I've heard of gossip girl but have no idea what it's about The Twilight aspect could be good though! Hey Nicola , Gossip girl is about a bunch of rich kids on the upper east side that all go to school and have relationships with eachothers intended .....it's actually quite good lol!!!!! But yeah the twilight part is what made me buy them ! Quote
BookBee8 Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I bought this book from Amazon and it was posted on the 23rd March...it still hasn't arrived. Quote
Nightwish Posted April 14, 2009 Posted April 14, 2009 I saw these last week in WHSmiths, didn't buy them as I have so much to read at the moment. I think I might, I love Twilight and like the sounds of Gossip Girl. You guys are a bad influence encouraging me to read so much Quote

Chrissi Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 Anyone read them so far? Saw them in a shop yesterday and the first thing that came to my mind was: "I wonder where the author got the idea from :roll:" But I might give them a try if someone says they are worth reading. Quote
Guest stillgood Posted April 15, 2009 Posted April 15, 2009 I'm crazy about vampire series.But the dvds show is much more interesting! Quote
Polly Posted April 16, 2009 Posted April 16, 2009 After reading it on here I ordered it online (so thanks for putting the reccomendation up *hugggles*) it wasent to my liking the story line was very food but a few little bits in it like the cheroke rituals didn't seem to fit in to me and also the tracker putting a half moon on peoples forhead didn't appeal to me. But apart from that its quite a good book. Quote
Eurydice Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 most of the books in this series are good until you get to the newest one, hunted, that one was the worst. they didnt stick to the characters and the plot was dull but the other 4 books are really good. Quote
Lu Posted May 6, 2009 Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) Anyone read these? What does everyone think of them? Blurb: The House of Night series is set in a world very much like our own, except in 16-year-old Zoey Redbird's world, vampires have always existed. In this first book in the series, Zoey enters the House of Night, a school where, after having undergone the Change, she will train to become an adult vampire - that is, if she makes it through the Change. Not all of those who are chosen do. 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 vampire Goddess, Nyx. But she is not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers. When she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school's most elite club, is misusing her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself for the courage to embrace her destiny - with a little help from her new vampire friends. My personal Opinion: I LOVE THESE BOOKS, there similar to twilight, a cross between twilight & gossip girl =D Edited June 14, 2010 by Michelle merged with existing thread Quote
je55 Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 I found this other vampire series in last week, called Night World, which looks like it might be pretty amazing. Its based around this society of vampires and werewolves and witches, and other such beings and each book kind of follows a different set of characters. If you like Stephanie Meyer, I think this will defo fill the hole left by the end of Twilight. Quote
TwistedVamp83 Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) Oooooo I'm going to search these right now !! Thanks for the Suggestion !! Ok, Had a look , they are all saved on my wish list hehehe !!! Edited May 12, 2009 by Michelle merged - please edit Quote
Lu Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 The house of night series, is amazing...i really enjoyed them =D Quote
Nightwish Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 I got the first 3 books today from Waterstones and their buy 3 for 2 offer. I will give them a go, not sure if I will love them, but decided to buy them after telling my mum about them (a woman crazy about teen lit ) and she said she wanted to read them. They will be next after Harry Potter then I think. Quote
bookcrazy14 Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I love these books I think I like them better than Twilight. The new out is called Tempted and as always it has a end that will rock you to the core. The next coming out is called Burned and won't be out till April 2010. As I said one of my favorite series I don't know how you people just started reading them. Quote
AbielleRose Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I've read and own the whole series. If you go into it wanting it to be another Twilight then you are definately going to be dissapointed. The romance level is no where near what it is in Twilight. The concepts of the vampire world (or as they call it in the book, vampyre) are way different from anything I have ever read, but I love it. I would encourage you to try it, but stick with it through at least the 4th book before you decide for sure whether or not to continue with the whole series. If you would like something a little more 'Gossip Girl' like then I would suggest Blue Bloods by Melissa de la Cruz as it is set in a NYC prep school run by rich vampire families. It is also a pretty good series. Quote
anathema2208 Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 These books can be kind of dirty at times... In the first book alone there are somethings I wouldn't want my teen to read.... But the books in my opinion are fairly good. Quote
Bettyboop33 Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 I read theese books and fell in love with them, Totaly amazing . Quote
