Book Reviews of Tempted (House of Night, Book 6)Book Review: Tempted (Contains Spoilers) Summary: 5 Stars
Well I received my copy a week ago today and I've been waiting patiently for today so I could finally write a review about it. My local bookstore put the books on sale early and I was on the list of people who reserved a copy, if your wondering how I got it before the release date. So anyway, on to the actual review.
First off let me congratulate PC and Kristen Cast on another wonderful installment to the House of Night series. This book went beyond my expectation by far. I never expected it to be so incredible. I was so pleased with the way the story went. I will admit that to book had some tear-jerkers for me. I cried at least twice while reading it. I just felt so sorry for Dragon when we learned that Professor Anastasia had been killed by the Raven Mocker Rephaim. I was also so incredibly sad that Heath was killed. It just broke my heart. I'm a total Team Stark girl but I just loved dumb-witted Heath, he made the story enjoyable.
About the POV's changing in the book. I must say that I was worried when I first found out that the book would be split into so many different POV's. I'm happy to say that even though the book wasn't solely in Zoey's perspective it was still a great story. I really liked the Heath and Stark parts, even though they were very small. I was kinda hoping for more of Stark's POV by oh well, there's always the next book. I was a little shocked at the Raven Mocker Rephaim's POV being included in the book. That was just totally weird but interesting at the same time. It was twisted by I found it entertaining. The whole Stevie Rae/Rephaim Imprint thing still disturbs me but I guess it was important to the story some how.
I really loved the Zoey/Stark interaction in this one, it was just so sweet and funny. I really see a relationship growing between the two, even though it's very obvious that Stark fights his true feelings for Zoey throughout the entire book. I think that he is trying so hard to be a good Warrior and to keep her safe that he doesn't want to let his feelings get in the way of that. Zoey was torn between Heath and Stark, but I truly believe that she would have chosen Stark in the end even if Heath hadn't been killed. Will Heath's death affect Zoey's relationship with Stark, in my opinion, yes it will. I think it will take her quiet some time to get over all of it. I also believe that both Zoey and Stark will blame themselves for Heath's death. Zoey didn't get to Heath in time to save him, and Stark walked away from Zoey so he wasn't able to protect her. I defiantly going to be confusing in the next book.
I don't really understand the reason for Zoey losing all her tattoo's at the end. She only had the unfilled crescent moon on her forehead left, is this significant I'm thinking yes. Do I believe that Zoey is dead? No not at all. How they will wake her up, I do not know, but we haven't seen the last of Zoey Redbird. I think that in killing Heath, Kalona finally has given her the strength to destroy him. He had control over her, but I think that was broken.
All together this was just a very entertaining book. It really got my attention in the first pages and kept me guessing until the last page. I'll eagerly await Burned now to see what's in store next for the House of Night series.
Summary of Tempted (House of Night, Book 6)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.
