 Betrayed is the second installment to the House of Night series. While I'm still new this series, I don't seem as enthusiastic about it as many others I know. Perhaps it's just me, I'm not sure. But I really don't get the hype too much with this series. It has potential. I give it that. I sort of like some of the characters and the way they interact with each other- along with the vampire mythos the authors have created in their world. There's a lot I don't like, though. Mostly the writing. The never-ending chatter of the narration, especially when in mid-sentence and suddenly the character has to go off and make a damn off-topic pop culture reference. Or this constant repetition of what had happened in the first book. 
 My rating stands at 2 stars because I still thought the story to have potential and it did continue to hold my interest despite the constant nitpicks. I may or may not continue on to the next book in the future sometime... But it's not a rush at this moment. 
 My real advice here is that if you truly want some great vampire YA reads, try these out instead: 
 The Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead 
 Blue Bloods series by Melissa de la Cruz 
 The Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine
