Det tredje bind i serien er for unge fra 14 år, nok primært piger, som kan lide moderne vampyrromaner. Serien bør læses i rækkefølge, som forlægger gør opmærksom på i følgemateriale til anmeldereksemplaretBeskrivelseHistorien fortælles i 1. person, af Zoey, og det gør den ekstra intens og levende, og hjælper på det fantasifulde univers den foregår i omkring en vampyrskole med elever/yndlinge, inden de går igennem forvandlingen, som de måske overlever, og bliver vampyrer. Den klassiske gotiske gysertradition er moderniseret, og bruger satire og ironi og elementer fra fx chick-lit genren. Sproget er forfriskende, afvekslende og humoristisk funderet, men virker også effektivt spændende i lange stræk, og slutningen er intens for Zoey og læseren. Samlet repræsenterer de hidtil tre bind en udviklingshistorie om en ung pige der får smag for blod, samtidig med at hun får kærester, og i dette tredje bind har Zoey tre kærester og får også smag for sex og magt. Disse elementer er symboler for vigtige elementer i puberteten. Flot forside ligger fint i tråd med bogens indholdSammenligningSerien har umiddelbart meget tilfælles med Meyers Tusmørke-serien, jeg-fortæller, emne og miljø, men er også på flere punkter anderledes, den tager ikke sig selv helt så højtidelig, er ikke så romantisk og har i stedet en ironisk satirisk tone, samtidig med at den underholder med bl.a. gysSamlet konklusionEt fint tredje bind til de gyser-hungrende unge (især piger) i en ret original og underholdende vampyrserie

"Mercury Rhodes and her world were utterly changed when the bombs fell, releasing the green mist. While it proved deadly to all the men who breathed it in, it gave new life to women who did the same. The green mist provided each member of her newfound family an ability: Stella's heightened intuition, Imani's earthly connection, Karen's bond with Spirit, and Gemma's healing ability. Although Mercury now has incredible physical strength--she doesn't know if she will be strong enough for what comes next. Especially after the death of Ford, their companion through the aftermath of the mist. The group finds respite in creating a small community in the John Day Fossil Preserve, near the Painted Hills in Oregon. Together, they hope to find a place where they can start over and rebuild a better world. But Mercury knows it won't be that simple, not when she knows someone, or something, is hunting them. Something that wants to rule the ruins of the world and something who sees Mercury as a threat that must be eliminated"--

Bloodlust and dark forces are at work at the House of Night...Fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird's adventures at the school are about to take a mysterious turn. Those who appear to be her friends are turning out to be enemies. And oddly enough, sworn enemies are also turning into friends. So begins the gripping third installment of this "highly addictive series" (Romantic Times), in which Zoey's mettle will be tested like never before. Her best friend, Stevie Rae, is undead and struggling to maintain a grip on her humanity. Zoey doesn't have a clue how to help her, but she does know that anything she and Stevie Rae discover about the secretive and sinister power that's turning dead fledglings into bloodsucking monsters must be kept secret from everyone else at the House of Night, where trust has become a rare commodity. Speaking of rare: Zoey finds herself in the very unexpected position of having three boyfriends. Mix in more than a little forbidden desire to the equation and the situation has the potential to spell social disaster of massive proportions. Then, vampyres start turning up dead. Really dead. It looks like the People of Faith, and Zoey's horrid step-loser in particular, are tired of living side-by-side with vampyres. But, as Zoey and her friends find out, things are not always what they seem...Chosen is the third in the House of Night series by P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast.

Enter the dark, magical world of the House of Night series by bestselling authors P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast, a world very much like our own, except here vampyres have always existed. One minute, sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird is a normal teenager dealing with everyday high school stress: her cute boyfriend Heath, the school's star quarterback who suddenly seems more interested in partying than playing ball; her nosy frenemy Kayla, who's way too concerned with how things are going with Heath; her uber-tough geometry test tomorrow. The next, she's Marked as a fledgling vampyre, forcing her to leave her ordinary life behind and join the House of Night, a boarding school where she will train to become an adult vampyre. That is, if she makes it through the Change-and not all of those who are Marked do. It sucks to begin a new life, especially away from her friends, and on top of that, Zoey is no average fledgling. She has been chosen as special by the vampyre Goddess, Nyx. Zoey discovers she has amazing powers, but along with her powers come bloodlust and an unfortunate ability to Imprint with Heath, who just doesn't know how to take "no" for an answer. To add to her stress, she is not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers: when she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school's most elite group, is misusing her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself for the courage to embrace her destiny-with a little help from her new vampyre friends.
