highly recommended

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.

This book is just as good as the first, it makes you feel like your living Zoey Redbird's life right along side her.

Witches posing as 'vampyres'

This book was much better than the first one. Lots more twists and turns and less predictable. I have gotten used to the writting so it wasn't so annoying the 2nd time around. The author toned down the pop culture references(thank God). It bothers me that they are labeled 'vampyres'..come on now, they're witches with a teeny bit of bloodlust thrown in. It's silly we're pretending otherwise.

Something that was super annoying is how perfect all the boys are who fall over Raven, give me a break. The character Eric flatlined, Loren seemed like an afterthought, and her human ex-bf is uninteresting. The big mystery is what those undead creatures are so I can't wait to read Chosen haha

2 for 2

This might have been my favorite book of the series (as I have read the first 3 so far). It definatley flows better in this book, and although it ends with a lot left unanswered (have your book 3 handy) you end up feeling better about the characters.

Interesting Sequel

Betrayed, the second book in the House of Night series, picks up where Marked left off--Zoey, newly Marked as a vampyre fledgling, must take up her new duties as Leader of the Dark Daughters. Along with her good friends Stevie Rae, Erin, Shaunee, and Damien, Zoey wants to find a new direction for the group after the ouster of nemesis Aphrodite. Amid all the stress of drama of perfecting a circle casting, Zoey's love life is also in turmoil. She finds herself attracted to not just two boys, but also a very sexy young professor who seems to be attracted to her as well. What will Zoey do about obsessed ex-boyfriend Heath, whose friends are disappearing at an alarming rate? And what about the fledgling vampyre Erik, who is everything Zoey should want? Betrayed is indeed quite dark in tone, and the story takes a tragic turn just when Zoey should be celebrating.

After a bit of a slow start, Betrayed picks up nicely around fifty pages in or so. The storyline takes place over just a few days, and it is action-packed. Zoey's grief and shock are well written, and her boyfriend dilemma is believable as long as it's between Heath and Erik. But Betrayed is not without fault. The idea of a professor, even a young one, flirting shamelessly with a sixteen year old is just icky. The "Twins" are so superfluous that I feel they are forced into scenes. And if teens actually continuously used language the way these teens do, I'd be very, very surprised. Not over the cursing itself, but just the general conversation seems so stilted.

While I did enjoy Betrayed more than I initially thought I would, it could do with a bit of housecleaning to rid itself of too much coincidence and too little realistic interaction among the teens. I also think that much of the "vampyre" rituals seem to be more "witch-like" than they should be. But in general I did enjoy the story and I still like the whole idea of The House of Night and creepy undead creatures and people who aren't what they seem to be. I'd love to give this one 3.5 stars for general entertainment.
