***SPOILER ALERT!*** 
 The story of Zoey Redbird, a sixteen year old girl who is unhappy at home, becoming "marked" as a fledgling vampyre, just seemed a bit forced. I wanted to feel a part of her story but her angst was overwhelming and I couldn't really see where the plot was headed. However, about midway through, the book picked up steam and by the last few chapters, I was eagerly turning the pages in order to find out how Zoey's unusual powers would manifest and where it all would lead. 
 The book was pretty good. Slow but good. It's kind of like "okay the action HAS to be in the middle of the book!" no, it's at the end. Which frustrates me. lol. It's was good. yes.
