I've been reading a series called 'House of Night'. It's about this girl who ends up being Marked for a vampyre fledgling. She must go to the House of Night school in order to learn to become an adult vampyre, becuase if she stays away she'll die. The schooling lasts four years. If a fledglings body rejects the Change, they die.

And... NO sparkles are in it. Sure, there's a bit of cussing and some sex ... I found it a relief since it's geared towards teens. About damn time editors allow 'real talk' in teen books. Highly recommend it!
