Tempted the sixth book, in the House of Night Series does NOT stand alone.
You MUST have read the previous novels in order to get an understanding of what is going on, otherwise you will be confused. It picks up right, where, Hunted left off.
The characters are well developed and growing into "their" own. The story line seems to be missing some of the charisma from the first three novels in this series.
The build up is slow, nearly tedious, luckily the second half makes up for this.
Expect the unexpected in the ending. Be prepared to be shocked and devastated. There is no resolution and hopefully the next novel, Burned (released, April 27, 2010) will give us some much needed answers.
Grade: B-
Synopsis
So…you’d think after banishing an immortal being and a fallen High Priestess, saving Stark’s life, biting Heath, getting a headache from Erik, and almost dying, Zoey Redbird would catch a break. Sadly, a break is not in the House of Night school forecast for the High Priestess in training and her gang. Juggling three guys is anything but a stress reliever, especially when one of them is a sexy Warrior who is so into protecting Zoey that he can sense her emotions. Speaking of stress, the dark force lurking in the tunnels under the Tulsa Depot is spreading, and Zoey is beginning to believe Stevie Rae could be responsible for a lot more than a group of misfit red fledglings. Aphrodite’s visions warn Zoey to stay away from Kalona and his dark allure, but they also show that it is Zoey who has the power to stop the evil immortal. Soon it becomes obvious that Zoey has no choice: if she doesn’t go to Kalona he will exact a fiery vengeance on those closest to her. Will Zoey have the courage to chance losing her life, her heart, and her soul? Find out in the next spectacular installment in the House of Night Series, Tempted.
