Tempted, by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast, is an amazing book! This book is about a girl Zoey Redbird, who is a vampyre. She’s stuck in some tunnels because there was just a war between her, Stark (who is her Warrior), Stevie Rae (her best friend), Erick (her boyfriend), Heath (her other boyfriend), many other people from the House of Night and Neferet, Kalona, and his Raven Mockers. This book alternates chapters from Zoey’s view to Stevie Rae’s. Zoey goes through so much. Most of it though is just guy problems. Before, in the first book, Marked, she didn’t know if she loved Heath or Erick. Then in the second book, Betrayed, she didn’t know if she loved Heath Erick, or Loren Blake (her English professor and Vampyre Poet Laureate). Then in the third book, Chosen, and fourth book Untamed, she doesn’t know if she loves Heath or Erick. In the fifth book, Hunted, she doesn’t know if she loves Heath, Erick, or Stark. Finally, in the sixth installment, Tempted, she doesn’t know if she loves Heath, Erick, Stark, or Kalona. Kalona is the bad guy so she doesn’t know if her feelings for him are true or if it’s just that he’s manipulating her, by using A-ya- the woman made by an old tribe to send him to the underground- to trick her into believing that it is her that loves him and not the part of her where A-ya is at. I know, Zoey seems to have been around but she hasn’t. I think she has reason to love all of them because they all have qualities, that if put together, would make the perfect man. Stevie Rae battles herself. She doesn’t know if she should reveal to Zoey more secrets she has kept from her; secrets that only distance them more. Stevie Rae also faces guy problems. She doesn’t know if she likes Dallas, or Rephaim. Rephaim is a Raven Mocker, the first of his kind, and Kalona’s favorite. Stevie Rae, out of kindness, spared his life and doesn’t know why she did. This book also alternates chapter between Rephaim, Stark, and Heath (sadly, not with Erick). As the story develops, a lot of surprising things happen. This is an omg-i-can’t-take-my-eyes-away-from-this-page-or-the-book type of book. I swear, you won’t want to put it down. If you haven’t read the House of Night series from beginning to end, in order, I suggest you do. Trust me, you won’t want to stop reading.
