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, especiall

Have you ever read a book that's so irritating you can't help but think, 'It would be great if most of the characters died right now, especially the main character because she sucks'? Possibly even go so far as consider writing and posting your own ending to said book on fanfiction.net? An ending in which Buffy the Vampire Slayer shows up and kills everyone in a hilarious yet incredibly violent fashion?

If your answer is YES then you've probably been reading this series. XD

I seriously can't believe he - insert one of three guys name - would do that! It's his fault! Enough loving me already! Oh wait, I forgot, this sick thing happened, *insert spoiler* Oh my gawd!

^^TEMPTED TO DO A BOOK BURNING,ONLY FOR THIS BOOK!^^

So after I gave birth to my son, lazing around the house, cus “come on” my newborn slept around the clock. So I thought “heck I am gonna give this series a try”. Well I am not going to front, I was in love with the first five books of this series, blame it on the hormones or trying to re-live some form of my youth, I was addicted and gobbled up all the books in less than a week.

The sixth book happened and...more

About the start of August both Untamed and Hunted were (FINALLY) released in Australia... so I'm really hoping that means we'll get Tempted the same time its released in America! (but my mum isn't... apparently I should be studying instead of reading...)

Logically Zoey will get with Stark, because he's the only one who hasnt gotten or caused a broken heart yet. Also, because he's gorgeous, whereas Heath is obsessive and Erik is possessive. It's the best way.

I just have to continue this series to see what happens to Kalona. I hope Zoey dies in this one....

UPDATE:

So I've made my disdain for Zoey quite clear. So why do I keep reading this? Simple - the plot is actually really good. I really enjoy the Kalona and Neferet story arc, and I REALLY liked that we finally got some chapters from other character's perspectives.

The beginning of this book was hard for me to get through, though. I'm sorry, but the Zoey-going-ou...more

I tried. I really did. But this book blew it really hard. I literally skimmed over pages and pages of useless and boring things. This is the first book of the series that wasn't interesting to me. I almost gave up on it. And I think I should have. Instead I wasted 2 bucks in late fees trying to finish it. And all the characters seemed so OUT of character that I just couldn't really focus or really care about it. And you know what was really annoying? All the " I heart me some__" shit...more

I had been so excited for this book to come out, but I find I'm slightly let down with the lack of action. It's not that I'm looking for mega fights and battles. I just feel like much didn't really happen; it was more of a transition book. Just when it was getting to something more interesting that would move the plot along the book was coming to an end. And I absolutely hate where it left off - more than any of the other books. I guess I understand that this book was about her being "tempt...more

Tempted is a brilliant sixth intallment of the House of Night series. I have heard disgruntles over the use of a different point of view other than Zoey's, which is a different format to the previous books in the series, but I loved it. It was a breath of fresh air and a well needed break from Zoey. Although she is still central to the story and has more chapters than the others, it was nice to get to know more about Aphrodite, Stevie Rae and Rephaim, the son of the fallen angel, who is part bir...more

Zoey Redbird is back in her full Mary-Sue glory. She's beautiful, she's unique, she's almighty and powerful; she's basically a giant pain in the ass and annoying as hell.
Despite that, the series is beginning to unfold in a most interesting way as the stakes get higher. Apocalyptic prophecies and ancient vampire councils make for satisfying twists and turns. And the occasional switch to third-person gives fresh new perspectives and a welcome break from our beloved Zo.

I loved this book! Oh! I'm going to miss Heath soooooooooo much! I absolutly loooooooooooooooooooooove Stark! And seriously it's about time she dumped Erik. I love Aphridite and Darius, they're prefect for each other. I understand Zoey's delema, but her loving Kalona is really upseting Stark which I'm not okay with so she really needs to snap out of it. Stevie Rae is getting old, I don't really like her character anymore. But this is currently my favorite series. I'm not sure how I feel about al...more

I can't even begin to think how to start this review. I just now finished the book so I'm trying my hardest to process everything. The reason I give this book 5 stars is because for one, I loved the overall story. Not once did I get bored reading it, or have to set it down because things weren't going smoothly. I truly adored it........until of course the ending. I'm glad I read some of the review with nonspoilers so I was expecting something dramatic to happen. I read people throwing the book, ...more

What stand out for me in this book...

1. The book is not only written by Zoey's Perspective and we also got perspectives from Stevie Rae, Rephaim, Aphrodite, Heath and Stark. My most favorite among this perspectives is Rephaim's perspective simply because it's coming from an enemy's point of view and it is interesting that I've learned that Raven Mockers are not that really bad and they just want to please and obey their father Kalona.

2. The Stevie Rae and Rephaim relationshi...more

Oh Casts, why must you be so terrible? Look I am good with ridiculous vampyre-with-a-y power fantasies and trashy soap opera-esque romance. These things can be enjoyable in their way. But everytime I try to just surf along the story you keep hitting me over the head with your heterosexism and your inability to write POC as anything other than one dimensional stereotypes. DDDD= Stop it, just stop it. Think about what you are writing. Would you make reference to Zoey's heterosexuality with every a...more

Ok, first of all, I need to get this off my chest.

Dear PC & Kristin Cast,

Congratulations! You have successfully managed to learn the word "reconnoitering" and use it properly in a sentence. That is quite an accomplishment, if of course you are capable of also learning how to use other words. I can lend you my dictionary if you want! It is chop full of all kinds of words so you don't have to use "reconnoitering" as the only extension of your vocabulary!...more

i really fell in love with these books, but then i got to chosen and that started to put me off a bit because she cheats on ERIK and anyone with sense could tell that he really cared about & then he takes her back in this & she dumps him AGIAIN because he is being too "POSSESSEVE" but can you really blame the guy i mean 1st he has to deal with this whole imprint thing with heath (who i hate!) then he has to see her and loren in bed together and know he was right from the beginning when...more

I hate to say it but I’m completely annoyed with this series. I had a hard time getting past the very first chapter in the first book Marked. The teenage langue and attitude were too much for me. But I kept reading because people were giving it good reviews. So I read on and became hooked. Until the last book Hunted. I understand about filler books, but even filler books need to have a story line that keeps the reader interested and wanting more. I wasn't a hundred percent sure I wanted to read ...more

I have a feeling that one of the authors writes the first half, and the other writes the second half, because in every book there is a HUGE change in standards at the half way mark. I actually really enjoyed the first half. We were no longer subjected to fifty pages recapping the story so far and I was excited at the prospect of reading the book from Aphrodite's prospective.

Alas, half way through the book, things went down hill. It slipped back into its stereotypical ways (apparentl...more

Tempted... me throwing the book after I was done reading.

This particular book is a filler, dragged on to produce more sensational books within the series. Last book left us in chaos and in the depths of Zoey's Bermuda love triangle. The story is lacking closure and leaving me saying WTF after 300 pages of more teen soap with a splatter of teen slang.

Drama with a capital D! — 1. We see Aphrodite's soft emotional side. 2. Good riddance Erik. 3. Stevie Rae with all her hidd...more

Il livello della Saga House Of Night delle Cast, con questo sesto volume, risale decisamente! Le cose tornano a muoversi di nuovo e finalmente sembra che Zoy si sia resa conto che il suo unico problema NON è scegliere uno dei suoi "fidanzanti".

Sull'argomento "fidanzanti", questo romanzo fa decisamente - e finalmente - chiarezza: se prima sembrava che l'elemento "negativo" fosse proprio Zoy con la sua indecisione e leggerezza, adesso ci rendiamo conto che in realtà è...more

well this is one my list favourite book vuz when i finished reading i was like: well hell, someone gave me only the first half of the book( i had to wait for a bunch of months to read the rest half of the story in Burned). Sooo.... after Zoey kicked kalona's tight ass (hehe!!) she and the rest of the Nerd Herd followed closely by Aphrodite, Darius and the rest of the red fledlings return to the Tulsa house of Night to find that things haven't changed much after Kalona's and Neferet's flee.

After high school she joined the United States Air Force and began public speaking and writing. Since her tour in the USAF, she has been speaking and teaching professionally.

“Nerd herd, focus. You're here to help the fledglings. Dour One and Dour Two aren't important," said Aphrodite.
"Dr. Seuss reference. I like it," Stark said, giving me a check-me-out-I've-always-read-books hottie grin.
Aphrodite frowned at him.
"I said focus, not flirt.”

“Hey, which one of them is supposed to be your boyfriend?” Stark
asked me. Even in the terrible shape he was in, he caught my glance
with his. His voice was scratchy, and he sounded scarily weak, but
his eyes sparkled with humor.

I am!” Heath and Erik said together.”
