Betrayed - P.C. and Kristin Cast

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.

Here we have the second book in the House of Night series! This one is my favorite, because I saw the most character development and I loved that Damien found a little friend - how adorable was that? I did find Zoey to be a bit annoying in this book, but I love the side characters so much that it didn't matter to me.

There were many twists in this one that I wasn't expecting and that was a pleasant change. Sometimes paranormal books can be screaming the ending from the beginning but I thought P.C. and Kristin did a good job of keeping the reader in suspense. The end was such a cliffhanger! I am so glad I have the next book in line because I'd be dying if I had to wait to see what happens next.
