About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

The sixth installment of the HOUSE OF NIGHT series is here! Zoey Redbird and her circle of misfits are back and ready to kick some serious immortal, vampyre butt!! Zoey and the circle have rid the House of Night of Neferet, Kalona, and his evil children, the Raven Mockers, but they have decimated their beloved home. The young fledglings are left to pick up the pieces that Neferet and Kalona left behind. Zoey, Stevie Rae, and the rest of the gang use their affinities to help strengthen the kids who were hurt during the battle. Zoey also needs some help herself. She still has all sorts of guy problems (namely, Erik, Heath, and now Stark, who has sworn his Warrior's Oath to Zoey), and she is still coming to terms with the fact that she is the reincarnation of the ancient Cherokee woman, A-Ya. Through all of this, Zoey manages to keep her cool, and decides that she must face Neferet and Kalona on their own turf. Zoey and the circle head to Italy to stand before the Vampyre High Council, and hopefully, stop Neferet and her evil plan once and for all. Thank goodness for the HOUSE OF NIGHT series! I had missed the witty banter between Zoey and her friends! Relationships and personalities are starting to shift in this sixth novel. The characters are growing and developing new traits, or losing them, depending on the situation. The Cast ladies are still going strong, and have already unveiled the seventh title in the series, BURNED, due out in April of 2010. **TRT Gold Star Award

I am in love with this series and when I read this book it made me in love all the more. I love the interesting plot line and what ever other people may say I found it insanely interesting! I just got this book a little while ago and it's been a long time since I read the others and it easily filled me in and I remembered quite easily (and if you knew me you'd know how crazy that is). I love it so so so so so so so so so much! :D <3

I recommend this series to all vampyre book readers! It is incredible! I have read all of them up to this one. And plan on reading them all! These books are interesting because of the characters and this new exciting world. I love Z. And don't forget Heath and Stark, they are my top fav guys other than Damien and Erik which are amazing, too!!! And don't forget Aphrodite she may be an enemy at first, but enemies can start out as friends ,as, friends can start out as enemies. I think I love all of them!
