House of Night series by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

If you liked Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series or any of the other teen vampire books that have come out in the last few years, you should check out The House of Night series. The first book in the series is called Marked. Zoey Redbird is having a normal day at school when she suddenly gets sick and feels strange. Her best friend takes one look at her and knows that nothing will ever be the same again. The new tattoo on Zoey's forehead shows that she has been Marked as a fledgling vampyre, beginning a process that will take four years to complete as she turns from human to vampyre. The only other alternative is that her body will reject the change, and she will die. Despite her parent’s protests, her boyfriend’s dismay, and her own fear, Zoey enters The House of Night, a school that teaches fledglings all they need to know about their new way of life. It soon becomes apparent that Zoey will not become any ordinary vampyre as her powers, affinities, and markings are revealed. With her colorful and funny group of friends, she finds a place where she belongs and begins to embrace her new world. These books have action, romance, and plenty of bite for those of us who can’t get enough of vampire thrillers! Check out some of these other great vampire books once you fly through this series:
