Betrayed Chapter 12
I know I’ve mentioned this before but I’m constantly amused by how out of step Zoey feels with the rest of the world. And I don’t mean just as a teen. I wasn’t an expert on teen behavior when I … Continue reading
Betrayed Chapter 11
Why is it that no author can ever get the police right? Ok, aside from the crime procedurals, some mysteries and a few exceptions in broader fiction. In a book like this, that’s set in our world—but with vampires!—you’d think … Continue reading

We rejoin Zoey in the vampire’s dining hall. Great, I can’t wait for PCK to tell us how special Zoey is for being invited. Oh, and their dining hall isn’t a cafeteria either. Zoey assures us it’s a very cool … Continue reading
