SRC | Week 2

Hmmm...at this rate I'm going to have to look up some more books to last...to August...through August??? When does this thing end?

------------------------------------------------

#5 Betrayed (Book 2) by PC and Kristin Cast: In this follow-up to the book Marked, Zoey has begun to settle into her life at the House of Night. She is now the leader of the Dark Daughters & Sons and High Priestess in training, but something still feels wrong. Zoey wonders if it has anything to do with the ghosts she's been seeing, or if it's all just her imagination...but when a couple of her old acquaintances go missing and then later turn up dead, Zoey is inclined to start listening to her instincts. Her instincts are telling her that perhaps the strange feelings and dreams she's been having might just be some sort of vision. For someone she trusts is definitely not what they appear, and betrayal can lie in the most unlikely of places.

I really enjoyed this book. Although annoying at times (probably only because I have already read Marked), it works well for readers who may have missed the first book as the authors brings up any important points from the previous novel that you might need to know. Okay, now on to Chosen, which I just so happen to have sitting right here. :0)

#6 Chosen (Book 3) by PC and Kristin Cast: In this third book of the House of Night series, Zoey's adventures at the vampyre school have taken a turn. Her best friend, Stevie Rae, who has become a very scary version of a vampyre, is struggling to maintain her hold on humanity, while Zoey tries to figure out what she can do to restore her friend to her former self. Zoey also finds herself juggling not two, but three boyfriends...And all these secrets she's having to keep from her best friends. For some strange reason, the only person Zoey seems to be trusting is the furthest person from her friend, Aphrodite. Now, while Zoey is juggling all that is going on, things are getting worse because Vampyre professors are being murdered and all leads point to the People of Faith, Zoey's own stepfather's religious group, as the most likely suspects! Yikes!

Best part about the book (I'm being sarcastic here) is that it leaves you hagning...um...what happens next!!! In any case, I enjoyed this book as much as the first two, if not more because I'm beginning to really like the characters. Okay, I guess I need to Google to see when the next book, Untamed, comes out now!
