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.

"Great Series"
Another Great PC Cast novel / series. This is a must if you like paranormal.
"House Of Night :Betrayed"
Once again I really enjoyed this, Ediwina Wren's narration really makes the story come alive. An excellent audio book.
"LOVED it!"
Each book, keeps getting better!!! I couldn't stop listening to it!
I love to read!
"Great series!"
The second book was just as good as the first. At the end, you can't wait to begin reading the third book!
"the narrator mispronounces words a lot"
The story is good. For the most part the narrator is good but she mispronounces words a lot.
"This is NOT Audible KIDS: still."
There were still some serious issues that I have with the book, and possibly the series. The "This is Audible kids" introduction is inappropriate for such a sexually charged novel, and is geared more to the emotionally advanced young adults. The first issue is that we understand that the character of Damien is gay. I however find it repugnant to make every adjective, or adverb from the word 'gay'. Damien does x like a gay ballerina, or Damien ran into the room like a gay tornado got old really, really fast. I like Damien as a character but the unimaginative writing about Damien does such a well developed character no justice.
Then their is Zoey herself who seems unable to go more than ten steps without soaking her underwear over a new boy. This isn't the fault of Zoey, though I admit to being frustrated that two seconds after her beau was gone she is running overtime at the laundry mat because she is running short on underwear. This reflects poorly on the authors who repetior of story lines seems severely lacking unless someone 9021H0ES their way through the book. If Zoey were a male character, he would be an untrustworthy slime. Unfortunately she is a female character and thus subsequent characteristically appropriate names are very foul, and I wouldn't sully myself with using them. These characters are well developed and you quickly become overly empathetic with them. It just doesn't help the plot, or the characters that Zoey seems unable to control herself for her two already boyfriends. She went from being in high school with her sort of ex-boyfriend who was the dreamboat, to being the boy collector. I seriously hope these two women (authors) can pull away from their own Marry Ellen dirty dreams and get about the business of telling a great story, which this series has every hallmark of being.
I hope the authors of the series can get over these books being their naughty girl play land, and get to the business of good writing.
"Narrator sucks"
Edwina Wren is a terrible narrator, she cannot pronounce some common words, and she gives Shaunee a character from Connecticut a Southern accent, which makes absolutely no sense and is very distracting.
Good Series though.
"Suffering through Edwina Wren narration.....still"
Going to tear my hair out if she says dipo for depot again! Please - just please - get on with your mis-pronouncing self! See - easy peezy!
The book is good - love the story and it continues well - can't we redo and have a better narrator?
I am a miracle worker. Doing what I can to choose love over fear.
"I'm bit... Again!"
I do not rank audiobooks because:
A. Since I listen to generes raging from a classic fiction to a field study
B. Different moods means as my mood change so does my genre of the day
C. This is a vampire series: The only suited for me, it might be about teens when we talk about the age they are teens Their actions is NOT suitable for teens below the age of 18.
Stevie-Ray because of her high-speed story
She IS the characters.
Yes: It is always sad when a cool character half-dies.
The perfect vampire book for those who never have found a vampire series for adults.
