Betrayed (House of Night #2) by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast

Betrayed by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast
SUMMARY 

Zoey, High Priestess in training, has managed to settle in at the House of Night and come to terms with the vast powers the Vampyre 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. 

MY REVIEW 

"You have no clue what you're doing, Zoey Redbird," I said aloud to myself as the grey sky opened and poured cold rain over everything.

Zoe becomes a vampire faster than the other fledglings and has already become leader of the Daughters of Dark.

Thus, there is a lot of interest in her by the older vampires and maybe a bit of jealousy by the other younger vampires-to-be that may or may not succeed in surviving and transitioning. Zoe most of the times does not feel comfortable with these rabbit changes, but she has good friends who support her.

Zoe's love life is also a mess. So far she has two love interests:
1. Her ex boyfriend, Heath, who has started imprinting himself with her.
2. He boyfriend-to-be, Erik, who apparently is the best looking guy at the House of Night.

Are these two enough? NO THEY ARE NOT!

Vampire poet Loren (And teacher! And very much adult!) does not hesitate to show his interest in Zoe. He does not hesitate to touch her or write poems about her. Creepy? Flattering? Zoe does not seem to mind.

Other important facts of the story:
- Neferet may not be the good guy after all
- Aphrodite may not be that bad
- A leading characters does not accept the changes and she dies
Then, with an enormous rush of meadow-filled wind, the green candle went out, and my best friend died.
- We finally learn what happened with the dead fledglings and this is an intriguing twist.

So, expect lots of drama in this book. 

For me it is still a guilty pleasure and I am devouring the series for second time with the same enjoyment and attention.
