Im 11 and i have read almost everyone but really i dont think i should be reading this but im VERY mature for my age and i wont and dont go around showing off the bad words and the kissing stuff to my friends like some kids do but i think the age level should be 15+ but it really depends on what your parents say if my mom knew what was in it she prob. whouldn't let me read it. But it really depends

First off, let me exclaim that YES, I am CATHOLIC and this whole story made me laugh and I love it to pieces. With that being said, I am not in any way shape or form offended by the way P.C & K describe 'the People of The Faith'. Hello! Most of what they do is true and the way of thinking is common through some ‘super-religious’ people. Now I'm not saying they are narrow minded- but has ANYONE considered that this 'group' could be a CULT? Yes, I said it. A CULT! That does mean that certain people can think a certain way and have their own faith. And yeah, cults are just made up about a whole bunch of stuff. Hello, being Christian, isn't that part of being one? Ahem "cult? ?/k?lt/ Show Spelled[kuhlt] Show IPA –noun 1.a particular system of religious worship, esp. with reference to its rites and ceremonies. " dictionary.reference*/browse/cult that's where I got that reference and ye there is a whole bunch more part of the definition. Anyway, have read every book and I'm currently counting down the days until the next one comes out. They are SO well written and the images that you can make in your head from reading the amazing descriptions is wonderful. YES there is sex YES there is alcohol YES drugs are mentioned BUT HELLO! WAKE UP WORLD! THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME! If any other teenager can argue against this and tell me that they have NEVER EVER seen, done, or knows a friend who has, you live in a freaking bubble and you really don’t have a life. To be honest. They teach you in school about ALL OF THIS! ‘Sex is bad’ ‘drugs are bad’ ‘don’t drink it can ruin your health’ YES YES YES AND YES!! ALL TRUE! I have NEVER smoked in my life, drink because I am of age and having sex is your decision – even though you should wait for your prince/princess. This book is giving the RALITY of life around a teenager. You go to your high school, look across the street, look under the bleachers, check bags and lockers, even go into the firggn bathrooms! Everything is everywhere and being in high school you will see it all. Going into the world for crying out loud! You will find and see it. And hell yeah it’s bad, but it’s just facts. I don’t know what perfect-caker-town exists in the real world. Nothing is perfect. When you read this book you can relate to one thing or another. There are SO may scenarios and crazy events that take place in this series that SOMETHING has to relate to you somehow. And that’s EXACTLY what P.C & K want!! Their showing the TRUTH! What teenagers REALY do, how they REALLY ACT and how they REALLY talk. No one can tell me that they haven’t ever swore, or drank, or even smoked? PARENTS! WAKE UP! THIS IS REALITY CALLING! We teens KNOW what’s going on. We see media and we DO understand. We KNOW drugs are bad, skipping class is bad, drinking is bad. And people make the decision to go against what their parent’s wishes are. This book shows so many different ways that a teenager’s life can twin – with the added smack of being Vamp. Amazing, amazing story. I cried and I understood how the characters felt. Throughout the entire book. If people are ‘grossed out’ and ‘disappointed’ with the way P.C & K write – THEN DON’T READ THE BOOK! Before you read a book, take some time and do some research. Don’t like it don’t read it and DO NOT bash an author’s amazing work. I am an obsessive writer myself and I know what it’s like when people read what I wrote and TOOK THINGS THE WRONG WAY or took things to the EXTREAM. Which was never needed. I think people should just RELAX, take a chill pill and avoid books that they don’t like. End of story.

This book is located in my 14 year old's 8th grade school library. A library which 6th graders also have access. I read the book. While I enjoyed the book, I would not recommend it for young teens. It mentions oral sex and the slang term for that on 6 pages. It contains reference to, and the slang term for it, a female piercing in the nether region once. It says the "f" word on 7 pages. It says "sh*t" on 13 pages. Sex is mentioned on two pages. References to pot, weed, etc. on 4 pages. "B*tch" is on 10 pages. "H*ll" is on 66 pages. It has references to and describes cult behavior and cerimonies on numerous occasions. One of the male characters is openly gay. This is not so much a reveiw as a warning to parents to read this book before you decide to allow your children to do so. You may like the book, as I did, however, you may not approve of your teens reading it without some supervision and discussion...

too much like like Twilight but its ok

I have read this and will not put it in my classroom library for my 8th graders. The opening chapter involves a girl walking up on another girl performing oral sex on a boy in a school hallway. The words the girls call each other are derogatory and unnecessary. There are too many good books out there for middle schoolers to be wasting their time with this one. Regardless of what we think they have heard or seen at home on the internet and t.v., we need to think about what we provide for them to read in our own classroom libraries. Also, as a parent, I wouldn't want my almost-13 year-old daughter reading this when there are so many other quality books available.

Though there are "teen" or "adult" situations with in the series of the house of night, the books are great and fairly easy to read and somewhat easy to understand.

It is a little adult sometimes,but it sends a very positive message to kids. About her step-fathers religious outlooks it shows that there is many more oppertunities and that you should be a little more open minded it does not treat religion like a bad thing more of a thing to be taken in a little more subtle.

I love this book. I read it when I was 12. The language in this book isn't anything I haven't heard before. And a lot of kids start dating at 8 (My sister at 6) and my friend had her first kiss at 12.

This book is the beginning of the House of Night series. I liked this book pretty good. It has a normal happy ending but there will be a couple twists. Some sexual situations are here. Blow jobs, Hickies, and heavy kissing. Zoey also has a negative opinion of drugs and alcohol. Over all:: Good Book.
