Tempted

A House of Night Novel

De: P. C. Cast, Kristin Cast

Narrado por: Cassandra Morris

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.

“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....

“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

Unfortunately the new narrator kind of ruins it

Not to be mean but did the new(again) narrator ever listen to the previous books? Did she hear how the names have been pronounced for the entire series? And did anyone in charge ever listen to it? The entire vibe of the writing has changed also but then add the new narrator and this book totally lost its luster. I enjoyed reading it more than listening but I do wish they would get back to normal for the series.

Voice

I couldn't get over the voice, mispronouciated too much. Also she would continue one voice to the next so it would sound like the same person telling what's going on, when really it was a different character.

Narrator

please bring back the narrator from the last book. she’s not as interesting of voice.

Pronunciation

I can handle when a series changes narrators (so long as the narrator is decent) but what really drives me crazy is when you can tell the new narrator didn’t bother to listen to previous books first. Audible please start insisting on it. It drives me insane when a certain word has been pronounced one way before now and the new narrator is clueless and uses a different pronunciation. It really takes away from the overall enjoyment I would other wise have for the book.

MacMillan Audio- Stop Changing Narrator's

I could not be believe my ears, they changed the Narrator yet again, only this time it is worse than Hunted Narrator Jenna Lamia (who sounded 11).
Cassandra Morris sounds like she is maybe 8 yrs old and her pronunciation of the author's terminology is dare I say childish.
Please I encourage everyone to write MacMillan Audio and the Author's and beg them to please, please go back to Edwina Wren.
