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.

Much, much and much better than Marked. Just kidding, only 0. So here's the deal: "Ohh! I see betrayed! Should I read it? Maybe I should not I am reading this! So wrong. Half of this book is about Zoey waiting for her freaking Superman, Eric. So much for superman And then comes her to-be-pitied-for friends. They were either her servants in some previous life or some freaks definitely not from this earth. I mean, 1 Zoey speaks rudely to them. But still they have the compassion to call her their "friend".
And I actually like Heath a-lot. I just hate Zoey for screwing it all up. Fighting, fighting. Aphrodite is actually good! And now I seriously hope and wish from the bottom of my heart that Zoey dies and world comes to peace. View all 33 comments.

The main character, super special, gifted, popular, admired and generally perfect, newly- turned-vampire Zoey, is torn between three men two boys and a man to be exact…. Her uber-cute human ex-boyfriend Heath Ohmygoodness! And the uber-sexy adult vampire poet and school professor Loren no words are enough, just fan yourself here with whom she flirts a couple of times.
Her arch nemesis, Aphrodite, who used to date Ohmydearsweetlord Erik at some point and had been caught performing a dirty act with him in a dark corner of the school corridor, is under no circumstances to be confused with Zoey, because Zoey is not - I quote - a stank slut like Aphrodite the Ho.
Coffee, anyone? View all 10 comments. Oct 12, P. I'm loving rereading the HoN! I'm preparing for a special 10th anniversary surprise for fans, and revisiting Zoey and the Nerd Herd is such fun!
And the Stevie Rae scene I bawled my eyes out. I'd also forgotten how funny Heath is! View all 11 comments. Dec 15, Katerina rated it liked it Shelves: paranormal. It's been years since I started this series, and I remember next to nothing, but I do recall something about 4 love interests? You know how much I enjoy love geometry in my books. Okay girl chill down.. I love the mystery around Loren and I love poetry!! I hate Zoey.
She is so immature. I hope she grows up! View 1 comment. Oct 19, Jo rated it it was ok Shelves: fiction , vampires , young-adult , urban-fantasy. It's always bothered me how casually teen girls throw around the word 'slut' as an insult..
It seems that if a girl isn't well liked, the automatic insult is to call them a 'slut' and it's really aggravating. I mean, if you have a vagina chances are somewhere along the line you've been called a slut and honestly, it's getting ridiculous. Of course, these terms are never applied to any of the guys in the series, just the girls.
Zoey, the heroine I praised in the last book for being a good role model, seems to use these words a lot to describe one particular girl who she happened to catch once in a slightly compromising position in the first book. Yet, Zoey is confused over not one, not two, but three guys in this book. Does that make her a slut?
No, but it does make her extremely hypocritical, and I find it horrible that a book clearly designed for teen girls feels the need to use these words to such an extent. They appear practically every other page and it's highly distracting and preventing me from being able to stay wrapped up in the story. Also, this book constantly kept reviewing what happened in the first book to a point where it was repetitious and annoying.
Every single thing from the first book, does not need to be re-explained. We are not idiots. The name dropping also continued into this book..
I'll continue on with the series though. I need to know what Neferet is up to. View all 16 comments. Jul 30, Jessica rated it did not like it. Good Lord, was this terrible. It had a great concept: a vampire finishing school. Say it to yourself a few times. This was not the book I got, but I'm flexible. What I got was a flat, contrived exercise in demonstrating the problems of YA writing, fantasy writing, and romance writing.
Zoey never Good Lord, was this terrible. She would rather explain to you, in laborious detail, what every event means, instead of letting you judge for yourself from the consequences of each plot turn. She will describe every other character's personality for you, because apparently you're too dumb to draw your own conclusions from their dialogue and behavior or, rather, the authors are too lazy to give them dialogue and behavior that would limn their natures organically.
She rings false as a teenager, and more frustratingly, as a person that anyone would like. There's no magic in Betrayed. You might read it to get your vampire fix although, truthfully, it doesn't even do that well , but it's not going to give you a reason to keep reading. It seems to assume that teenagers aren't familiar with good writing, so there's no reason to try very hard for them. I disagree. Try Stephanie Meyer.
At least you get the impression that she respects you. View all 15 comments. I did. I'm ashamed. This one did not work for me as book one almost didn't. I didn't like how immature things is. I mean, the actions is alright, but it's the characters that kinda I don't know how to explain it, you kinda have to read it yourself to understand it.
What, there's three love interests here? A half-time professor, a fellow student and a human boy. Of all of them, I like Heath - the human boy - the most. He's matured a bit from book one, and I just like him. Of course, I know what will happen later on in this series, but for now, Heath is it for me so far.
Things would've been so much better. I never should've started re-reading this series Zoey's life turned upside down when she was Marked by a vampyre Tracker in book one; she had to transfer to the House of Night or her body would reject the Change and die. Her mark is filled, which is not normal for a fledging and she has affinities for all five elements: Air, Fire Water, Earth and Spirit, which has never happened before. There are temples dedicated to her in every House of Night. Vampyres also honor her by living in a matriarchal society, where women have the rule, but men are honored and respected as guardians and companions and consorts.
Nyx gives her children many gifts and once she has given a fledgling or vampyre an affinity, she never takes it back. Those who are given such abilities often excel in society, becoming High Priestesses or Warriors.
Nyx's greatest gift for her children is free will, as she often says herself. Erebus , Nyx's consort. She lives on a lavender farm.
Skylar , her cat. She has an affinity for their felines cats , abilities as a healer, and she's also an intuitive - she can pick up bits and pieces of things. She is Erik Night's ex-girlfriend. Neferet was her mentor. Affinity: Earth. Affinity: Water. First, Shaunee and Erin call each other Twin because even though they are clearly not related—Erin being an extremely white girl from Tulsa, and Shaunee being of Jamaican descent and a lovely mocha color from Connecticut—they are freakishly alike.
Beelzebub a cat that belongs to Erin and Shaunee; he chose both of them—together. Affinity: Fire. Affinity: Air. She and Zoey had a falling out after she married John three years ago.
He was an Elder of the People of Faith, a position he was oh, so proud of. Not a full-time professor because he's only at HoN for one school year - just teach two classes. A poet and a writer, and Loren Blake is going to be his mentor and he's going to be Erik Night's roommate. His twin sister Anne , changed fifteen? Series : - Series, Book Two. Love triangle?

Mar 17, Kelly RAley rated it liked it. I really enjoy the idea of these books. I mean, who is reading book 2 without having read the other book? Do we really have to get the Cherokee translation for daughter again? The overt sexuality is a bit much for any teens that I teach, and I couldn't safely recommend this to any teens or pre-teens tha I really enjoy the idea of these books.
The overt sexuality is a bit much for any teens that I teach, and I couldn't safely recommend this to any teens or pre-teens that I know. I even skipped over a few scenes. I don't understand why that is necessary in a book that is so clearly aimed at teens. This is definitely not Twilight, even though I find the initial ideas and characters much more intriguing.

To see the full drinking game click here I think my local library hates me. There are some books I've been waiting for months to get my hands on and then there's others like P. The good thing though is that I'm on Spring Break and had nothing to do this weekend other than babysit my father long story short he decided to climb up a tree to rescued his crashed RC airplane and ended up breaking his foot. W To see the full drinking game click here I think my local library hates me.
Which meant reading and snarking at the second House of Night book was a way to alleviate my stress of being forced to make coconut praline smoothies every other second. Like with the first book a lot of the same drinking rules apply. You can drink every time the Casts embarrass themselves or humanity that's about every sentence , offend humanity in general once again every sentence , or go on a spill about how Zoey farts rainbows and poops glitter turds again, every sentence.
I don't like being monotonous and I feel like if I continue with the same format for this drinking game you guys will get bored. So, today I'm going to focus on how to make the most of your drinking which parts of the book are the most worth getting drunk over. Well, he needs to make an appearance here. The teachers and students at House of Night really know nothing about proper behavior. I could not stand Loren despite the fact he's supposedly some "hottie".
All I was reminded of was one of those pervy guys who seduces girls with poetry and should be on To Catch a Predator. Seriously, if your under eighteen and he's older don't go there. You may think he's mysterious and hot and age doesn't matter when it comes to romance, but the fact that he's legal and your not has lots of ramifications. Plus, don't you think if he was that great of a catch he's already have a girlfriend his age already?
So yeah, Loren he might be described as looking like a model but I bet the character really isn't that hot. I really feel sorry for the character Damien he's a token character if there ever was one. I literally drank a sip of my chocolate chai every time he appeared because the Casts would make some comment about his sexuality. That he smiled gayly, or that he looked gayer than usual, that he looks like one of those old gay movie stars Rock Hudson I'm presuming or that he falls in love with the first gay kid that comes to school, or that he wears pink pajamas.
Enough already. Damien is gay. But that doesn't mean he needs to be a walking stereotype. Write him like you'd write any character except that he dates guys not girls. It's not that difficult.
Yes, I know it's YA and romance in YA can be flimsy at best but I have to say the romance in the House of Series makes Twilight look like the best love story ever told. There's hardly any interaction between Zoey and the boys who are all in love with her. Out of all of them I probably like Erik the best and that's only because he's hardly appears and when he does I just see my Disney crush Prince Eric so that makes him okay though he is ruining that cartoon crush and that isn't okay.
As for Heath, well, he deserves his own drinking game see 6 an Loren just makes me want to bathe in bleach see 1. Really, all the romance that's in this book is Zoey trying to figure out who she loves the best and I could care less who she ends up with.
Now, I'm starting to really wonder. Let's talk about My Immortal for a minute. Once again, I've provided a link to its Wikia page but unless you've actually experienced the eye bleeding that this fan fic causes and then read The House of Night you're not going to notice the similarities.
Honestly, a lot of this story reads as a clean up version of the fan fic: the romance is as senseless at the story, there's a lot of talk about coffins, Count Chocola, about the snow making the character feel depressed, evil and pervy teachers, and a super powered Mary Sue.
Considering that the author, Tera Gillespie is reportedly from Dubai and that the Casts are from Oklahoma maybe it's just a coincidence. But you never know Or at least I would hope not.
I have not learned a single thing from these books except for the lows that humanity can stoop to. Heath is just unlikeable. The Casts can do nothing to make him likable. I could care less if he smokes or drinks. His addiction issues weren't what makes him a deplorable character. He's immature and stupid. And honestly I think this quote says just about everything you need to know about him: "Erik wasn't like that at all, and I couldn't help but compare him to Heath, who would probably have been freaked that he had to room with a gay kid.
Not that Heath was hateful or anything like that, but he was a typical teenage Okie boy, which tended to mean narrow minded homophobe.
Um, so was that quote suppose to make me like Heath because it doesn't? In fact, it pretty much seals my feelings for him. Obnoxious tool who just happens to be a homophobe. You know who Heath reminds me of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast.
I'll probably be reading another one of these books, Chosen, in the next month or whenever it shows up in my reserve box. What will happen next?
Will Zoey find out that she's the Nyx's long lost more powerful daughter? Will Grandma Redbird embezzle from the Cherokee bingo parlor's funds to feed her Etsy habit? Or will they all go flying in a Mercedes with the license plate if it's truly based on My Immortal that could actually happen? Dec 27, Heather rated it it was ok Recommends it for: No one! Shelves: ya-vampire-werewolves , worst-reads-ever-read-nevertheless. I'm a little frustrated with this series.
It has the potential to be good, but it continually falls short. The main reason is the writing. It's horrible! I even added a whole new shelf dedicated to the "worst-reads-ever. Plus, a thesaurus can work miracles to spruce up any writing. I gave this book two stars, because the story started to get more interesting. However, I'm not I'm a little frustrated with this series. However, I'm not connecting to the characters and this is a big deal to me.
Even if the writing is bad in a book, as long as, I connect to the characters and the story then, I can look past the painful narration. I'm finding it hard to turn a blind eye to the writing abilities of these authors. Just because there is a large audience out there for vampire novels, doesn't mean that every story should be published.
Having a good idea does not equal good writing. So, why did I read the second book after hating the first book? Well, I have a bad habit of buying the whole series, even though I haven't read the first book. In addition, I like to torture myself repeatedly.
It was what had woken her up and put her in such a terrible mood. She froze, suddenly almost overcome by fear. But no. Despite her bravado, the fear had returned in spades, and a shiver ran down her spine. Then she started to panic. What if something had happened to Blake? Or to Jewell? Without thinking, she unlocked the door and thrust it open. She never should have opened her door.
She had been to hell and back more than once. There was no way this man was going to intimidate her. McKenzie stumbled back a step when he started stalking her, and then she was up against a wall with his arms caging her in. McKenzie locked the front door for the last time and took a deep breath. But … She was still walking away from a building and a career that had changed her life.
