House of night is just like any other prep school. The only different thing is instead of prepping for college, they are prepping to be a vampyre. The house of night is a vampyre finishing school. (its more or less like Hogwarts I guess)

The story started where the school is having a parental visits to the House of Night. Zoey had a friction with her mother and stepfather, forcing Neferet to jump in settling it.

Zoey was just getting adjust to the House of Night when human teenager killing spree started, with all the clue pointing back to the House of Night. Zoey's human almost-ex-boyfriend was almost killed (again), this time by a creature.....

This is the synopsis of the book from official website.

Zoey has managed to settle in at the House of Night and come to terms with the vast powers the Goddess Nyx has given her. Just as she finally feels she belongs, the unthinkable happens: human teenagers are being killed, and all evidence points to the House of Night. While danger stalks the humans from Zoey’s old life, she begins to realize that the very powers that make her so unique might also threaten those she loves.

Yes.. Yes.. I have written my own review (to me more like a synopsis) on this novel but I forgot one thing..

I have been a sucker for movies that involves dog and fatherly love (yeah, and the vampires and night world thing but i don't cry watching and reading those). I watched Marley and me for the I-don’t-even-know-till-I-lost-count time. Shed tears again.



Marley and me is originally a book. So, it’s up to the movie director to make the movie into a masterpiece (exaggerating?? No.) that can make it to the top. Otherwise, it will just sink like an anchor, at least the anchor serve its purpose.



The story revolves around John Grogan, Jennifer and Marley the dog. They (John and Jennifer) got married and moved to Florida. Sebastian (John colleague and best friend) suggested to John to get a puppy for Jennifer so that he can build his career before starting a family (and stalling her biological clock. The first excuse sounds more mature.. :P) Growing up, Marley never loses his puppy energy, well that explains the jumping and sprinting and running, and continues to test the patience of John and Jennifer. They brought Marley to obedient school and got kick out after dry humping the instructor leg whose hair looks like poodle. That shows Marley’s lack of self-discipline. He continued chewing on everything.



After a while, Jennifer and John think that they have everything and ready to start a family. Conceived and delivered. Marley is very fond of kids though, in my point of view. At least he didn’t chew on the kids.



After 3 kids, John and his family moved to Philadelphia. Then Marley fall sick as he is quite old by this time. He succumbed to a twisted stomach problem.


That’s the synopsis on the movie. Are you going to watch it, AGAIN? :)


I have watched it thousands of time but never occurred to me about reading the original book. But I got it already and I am so ready to start another tear shedding adventure.I'll tell you if the movie and the book is world apart. Some how, my own Marley at hearts tell me it is. Oh well, I should just give myself the benefit of doubt until I read it.





P/S: oh… I have finished reading the book Betrayed by PC Cast and Kristin Cast. I will post my two cents on it soon.

If vampire is your thing, this book is for you. Reading through this book, I kept comparing to another work of paranormal novel, Twilight. Sure twilight has made to the big screen and who wont drool over Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner.

This book though is about vampyres at the House of Night, a vampyre finishing school where fledgling is surrounded by all the adult vamps so that they can make the change. What the hell are you talking about, you dont even speak vampire!! That was what on my mind. But there is this thing about this book that has the ooomph that make you want to finish reading it there and then.

Okay, so back to the book, Zoey Redbird, main character, a fledgling, a very powerful one at that who has the affinity to the 5 element, wind, water, fire, earth and spirit. It is said that never in the last centuries there is a vamp that have 5 affinity at the same time, let alone fledgling. Zoey's mark was filled in when she arrives school. Supposedly, a filled mark means that a vamp is changed. Zoey is still a fledgling, but a special one.

Then there is Stevie Rae, Zoey's roommate who eventually become her best friend, who is from Oklahoma. Stevie Rae and Zoey shared a lot of secrets and Zoey trust her.

Aphrodite, who is the leader of the Dark Daughters and Sons, is the typical bully in school. She steps on everyone and is constantly being followed by her army.


Aphrodite messep up in one of the ritual and forced Zoey to take her place in fixing it. Since that day, Zoey is the new leader of Dark Daughters and Sons, and adventures follow her.
