Book Review: Betrayal by Lee Nichols

Emma Vaile returns in the second installment of the Haunting Emma trilogy.  Just when things heat up with Bennet, he's gone again - just like the rest of her family.  At this point, she should have abandonment issues, but there is little time to dwell on obstacles in her love life when her evil enemy is still out there.  As if she doesn't have enough to worry about already, her classmates continue to ostracize her for the consequences in her last battle with Neos.  None of them are privy to the happenings of ghosts all around them, so they do not know the true story.

Emma's training resumes when the Knell, a secret society of ghostkeepers, sends new members to join her team - including a British man who acts as a guardian in Bennet's absence.  This time, Emma has a new weapon to fight Neos - her doppleganger's dagger.  She receives a warning that he has sent a siren though she is not sure what that means - YET.  Will she be lured away from protecting herself and her friends?  And will one of them turn out to be a traitor?  Can she find a way to finally show her classmates what really happened the night of the dance? 

Discover how the author still has a few tricks up her sleeves to astonish the reader at the end.
