Betrayed Review

***** stars = excellent

****stars= good

***stars = so so

**stars= bad

* star= Poor

It's that time again for me to review the 2nd book in the House of Night series. This book was actually good and it held my interest through the whole book. There were some sad parts that I don't want to give away but I will say this the betrayal that happened to Zoey was upsetting even to me. I just have one question how many boyfriends does this girl need? I can't wait to get started on the third book and see what happens. Overall I am giving this book ***** stars.
