Betrayed, the second installment in the bestselling House of Night series from P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast, is dark and sexy, and as thrilling as it is utterly shocking. Fledgling vampyre Zoey Redbird has managed to settle in at the House of Night. She's come to terms with the vast powers the vampyre goddess, Nyx, has given her, and is getting a handle on being the new Leader of the Dark Daughters. Best of all, Zoey finally feels like she belongs??like she really fits in. She actually has a boyfriend...or two. Then the unthinkable happens: Human teenagers are being killed, and all the 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. Then, when she needs her new friends the most, death strikes the House of Night, and Zoey must find the courage to face a betrayal that could break her heart, her soul, and jeopardize the very fabric of her world.… (més)
I can barely believe it, but I think I might read the third book just to see what happens.
This was bad. The writing style reminds me of stories I would write with my friends in middle school. Also, 3 guys... really Zoey? This series has just about every overused romance and fantasy trope. It's just too much and absurd. But I kind of want to know what happens... ( )
There were several times where I just wanted to give up. Just quit and throw in the towel. But I persevered, and I am kind of glad that I did.
Now a few things that I found annoying, and that would have caused me to throw the book (Had I been reading the book itself & not listening to the cd)...all of the stereotypes yet again. Jack? Please, just please. Don't even get me started on the Zoe being confused about 3 guys, yet calling Aphrodite a Ho (many, many, many times). The pop culture references...yet again abound. But hey, when you are just writing to put a new roof on the house, who cares if it will still be around in 20 years? These books just sprung up because of the beloved "Twilight" craze, honestly. But, I'm going to keep reading. Because I want to find out if Mary Sue...I mean Zoe is going to get her hair messed up at all. Because she is "The most powerful fledgling EVER!" (Which you are reminded of constantly. Sometimes several times per paragraph.) I also want to know what happens to Stevie Rae (BOO!), Damian (yay!) and Heath, and possibly Aphrodite, Neferet, and oh, the Twins.
this is the second book to house of night, it was okay it was a bit to teenage drama to be considered anything close to good. I kinda felt like it was inspired by gossip girl or some other pointless teenage drama babble. But its a easy read and the series does get better.
This is the book that i realise that its not going to be as great as i hoped, i could see how it was going to be from here on out -every straight guy wants the young self absorbed Zoey- but i continued through it and somehow i was left wanting to read the next one, i guess im just to curious. ( )

We would like to dedicate this book to (Aunty) Sherry Rowland, friend and publicist. Thank you, Sher, for taking care of us. Even when we're high maintenance and annoying (and especially when you give us "treaties"). We heart you very much.
