Betrayed Chapter 29
We ended the last chapter with Zoey suddenly able to throw fireballs. At least that was the direction that PCK was pointing us. Zoey loses her concentration and the fire goes away as Stevie appears. She looks thin and pale … Continue reading

Betrayed Chapter 28
There are two things that PCK is hinting at right now that I hope aren’t true. One, that Zoey’s bite has a protective effect against evil and two, that she’s going to be immune or nearly so to the undeadlings. … Continue reading
Betrayed Chapter 27

Perhaps the most annoying aspect of this is not PCK wrote this. It’s that an editor looked it over, using a presumably trained eye, and then put her stamp of approval on it. Authors aren’t perfect and it’s all too … Continue reading

Betrayed Chapter 23
So last chapter had Stevie’s death scene and Zoey didn’t really react to it. She did cry towards the end and she said she drew strength from her friends standing close to her but it’s pretty sparse. Which is to … Continue reading
Betrayed Chapter 22
So I’ve been thinking back on Zoey’s “Vampyre Sociology 415 text” mentioned back in chapter 18. It seemed to have the basics a new vampire would need to know kind of like the Handbook of the Dead in Beetlejuice. So … Continue reading
Betrayed Chapter 21
Let’s discuss cheering for a bit, shall we? PCK, and many hacks, seem to forget why people cheer. We’ll use this book for specifics because I can’t recall many scenes from the past ones. Like the students all cheering when … Continue reading

Betrayed Chapter 20
I know I’ve asked before, but why is Zoey in charge of the DDs again? Is it just because she has the blessing of Nyx or is it because her mentor is Neferet? She doesn’t know any of the rituals … Continue reading
