About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

“Cast and Cast pull out all the stops and take this story to shattering new heights with devastating consequences!” —Romantic Times (4 ½ stars)

“P. C. And Kristin Cast have made an absolutely amazing [YA] series. The visuals offered by this fantastic duo are entertaining and imaginative, with nonstop action.... This is easily a [YA] series that can entertain adults with action, hot Vampyres, true friendship, budding romance, a Loving Goddess, and a twist of the unexpected.” —HowlingGoodBooks.com (5 stars)

“I loved every one of the books in the [House of Night] series. Tempted is my definite favorite.... This book had me ripping through the pages.” —Teen review on Flamingnet.com

“Move over, Stephenie Meyer.” —People on Hunted

“Zoey Redbird's first-person adventures take on added danger and importance in the latest House of Night release. Forced by circumstance to grow up quickly, Zoey's emotional and spiritual evolution is fascinating. The Cast duo breathes life and vibrancy into the characters and makes each one an integral part of the saga. Awesome and unforgettable as always!” —Romantic Times (4.5 stars) on Hunted

“The Cast duo has done it again! These ladies appear to be an unstoppable force within the world of YA literature... Teenage readers will be drawn to Zoey's everyday, angst-riddled life. Not only does she need to save the world, Zoey needs to solve some major vampyre/human boy drama. These stories are surreal, yet shockingly accurate when it comes to teenagers and their lives.” —TeensReadToo.com (5 stars) on Hunted

“Teenage issues can seem like life or death, but in this haunting series, House of Night, that's really the case. Through Zoey's eyes readers are led into a world that's getting more complicated by the minute, where friends and enemies can switch positions in a heartbeat. The remarkable Cast duo continues to build a world that you won't soon forget!” —Romantic Times (4.5 stars) on Chosen

“This highly addicting series offers a unique twist on the standard vampyre story....These books will have the reader laughing hysterically and sobbing unreservedly -sometimes all at once.” —VOYA on Marked and Betrayed

Marked is one of the best coming of age stories to come out of Oklahoma since S. E. Hinton's The Outsiders. It teaches about the beauty of being a social outcast, friendship, and finding your own inner spirituality.” —The Beltane Papers

“Readers will identify with many of the characters, especially the protagonist.” —Library Journal on Marked

This is in my opinion the most powerful book of the series to date. Unlike the others, this story is told from multiple viewpoints, which was a plus for me as Zoe is a character I don't particularly like, and I got to spend time in the heads of the characters I do. Also unlike the others, this book has a real cliffhanger of an ending which sets up the next book perfectly. I was pleasantly surprised by the narrator. I've had Cassandra Morris before and never liked her as a reader, but she does an excellent job this time. Yet again though, the reader is different for the next book. That makes the fourth reader this series has had. I can promise readers that Tempted really does live up to its name and you won't be tempted to do anything else while reading it.

The books keep getting darker and you can't stop listening to zoey's adventures. The new reader is really good.

After listening to the previous books with excellent narration and accents this book came as a major shock to me. I am sorry but a narrator who cannot do the accents required or the appropriate age of the characters in her voice as part of her performance sets my teeth on edge. A brilliant book is ruined like this, all I can say is thank God she only does book 6 and later books are another narrator. My advice would be if you want to have this book buy it in print and get the others around it in audio, even brilliant writing cannot save a bad performance.

bad narration

The previous narrator change wasn't too bad, but unfortunately this narrator sounds totally wrong! She makes Zoe sound like an it girl from the valley and she is unable to make any of the other characters sound believable. Story good, but narration spoils it. :(
