Tempted is book 6 in the House of Night series by PC & Kristin Cast. The pacing seemed a little off for me. It was slow at the beginning for me, but the action picks up. Told by different characters POV. Like others, I agree this has a frustrating ending!

8. U/V/W Wroth, Murdoch Deep Kiss of Winter by Kresley Cole and Gena Showalter
9. X/Y/Z Zach Barely Bewitched by Kimberly Frost
This was a book with 2 novellas in it. The Cole one was yet another book in the Immortals After Dark series. It tied up the last of the 4 Wroth brothers with their Brides. Yet another one that was a "difficult" Bride to win/live with. This story was taking place concurrant with the stories of the other brothers, so some of what was going on with them was covered again. But she did just skim it. Otherwise this would have been a full length novel, with those events seen through Murdoch's eyes. I gave the book 4 stars. (The Showalter story was set in her AIR universe, for inquiring minds.)

MARTINA'S UPDATE: 4 COMPLETEDJust finished Friday Night Bites (A Chicagoland Vampires Novel, #2) by Chloe Neill and I must admit that I really like this series! There's something about the main character, Merit, that I absolutely adore. There's no HEA, so it's technically UF rather than PNR. If you're reading vampire UFs then you should definitely give this series a try.

I was putting a ticker for a weight-loss challenge in another site, and I realized that I can create one for my challenges too.
Btw, if you want to post book covers, on top of the comment box is the phrase addbook/author, click on it, search your book or author, and then at the bottom chose "cover" instead of "link" and that will give you the book cover.
Hope that helps you.
