Betrayed by P.C Cast & Kristin Cast

I have read a book called Betrayed. It is the second book in a series of 9 books. The series is called House of night and this book was published 2007.
P.C Cast and her daughter Kristin Cast are the authors of the book.
I think it is a fantasy book, because vampires are not a real thing.
The book is in present time.
Tulsa is the city where the story took place. In this city there is a school, for fledgling vampires, called House of night. The fledglings live at the school and once a month their parents can come and visit their children.
At the school there is a group called the dark daughter and sons. This group has a leader, and in this book, it is Zoey. The leader in this group is going to have a ritual. I don´t understand why, but I think they try to connect with the goddess, Nyx. Nyx gave a few fledglings special powers and Zoey has been blessed with unusual powers. She has the power of spirit. After a while she noticed that she can see things, sometimes, that has not happened yet.
When Zoey was an ordinary teenager she had friends from the football team, and she was together with a boy called Heath.
After a while in school, teenagers from the football team start to disappear, and all the evidence points at the House of Night.
A time before the teenagers were missing, Zoey´s favorite teacher, Nefret, had a suspicious behaviour. So when teenagers start to disappear, Zoey started to suspect Nefret.
Zoey has tasted Heath´s blood, and they are imprinted. Now when they are imprinted, they can communicate with their thoughts and that is going to help Zoey later in the book, when Heath is in trouble.
Zoey Redbird is the main character and she is 16 years old. Zoey is a fledgling vampire and lives at the school. Zoey is a very special fledgling, she has been marked with a very big tattoo on her back, and that is unusual. She also has the power of spirit, which is also very unusual.
Nefret is a teacher on the school, and Zoey´s favorite teacher, but one day she changed her mind, when Nefret started acting weird.
Aphrodite is a student on the school, and she has visions. She can see into the future. She is going to help Zoey.
Zoey´s best friend Stevie Rye, has the power of earth. She is going to die, but it is something weird about it. Is she really dead ?
It was not hard to understand, but of course a few words were a bit difficult, but I liked the book. The language was not "old-fashioned", it is written for today´s teenagers.
I don´t know if there are any messages in this book. I think this book is for entertainment. I think this book was really good, and I want to read the whole series, in English.
