Marked is the first in a series of young adult vampire novels (or vampyre as the authors have spelled it). Many people know that I have at least a mild love of all things vampire. I like to keep it under wraps though :) By day, I'm a professional and during my down time, I read young adult fiction books like this...sometimes. I do, of course, read grown up books too. I enjoy this series and specifically this book as it provides an introduction to the characters and the world that this mother/daughter duo have created. Readers are introduced to Zoey as she is marked and therefore starts her life as a vampyre. The authors take their time to let you into their world before the big adventure begins. 
 I encourage all vampire fans (young and old) to check out the book and the series.
