Because of Twilight and the popularity of vampires at the moment I decided to do my author profile on some vampire books for teens. All of these books are the first in a series and can be used to grab the attention of older readers.

Marked

This book is about a world where vampires exist and are accepted by humans. If a human is "marked" by a vampire they have to enter a special school called House of Night. During this time their body decides if it is going to accept the change or not. It it doesn't accept the change than they die. Zoey Redbird is an outsider with big dreams and is excited to have been marked. The story follows her going to a new school and seeeing it isn't much different than her previous one. It also follows her romantic life and whether she should be with Erik the popular boy or her exboyfriend Heath all while dealing with the development of her new vampire powers. Be careful recommending this book for younger readers because it does have curse words and sexual references.
