Tempted is the latest installment in the brilliant House of Night series. Having just finished it, I can truthfully say it is definitely a favorite book and series. I did however hate the cliffhanger at the end of this book! Ugggh! Terrible!
Anyway, the thing I like most about this series it the writing. The Casts are excellent writers. I can say this because when reading this book, I am easily emotionally attached to Zoey and all the other characters. Although my life is nothing like Zoey's, I can feel all her heartache and frustration. I love it when a book can do that to me! I especially felt the emotions in this recent installment. When Erik became a jerkface I was annoyed. And the whole Heath/Stark thing, I could also feel her emotions with those two. I love it!
The only thing (well, things), I don't particularly like so much about the series is the writing style and religion. The writing style is great and the characters have been given a lot of personality in the books, but honestly...I don't know teens that talk in the fashion that that Casts have scripted for their characters. So, it's fun to read, but sometimes it gets kind of annoying.
And another big big BIG thing that gets to me is the religion..Nyx and goddesses and all that fun stuff. Yeah no. I like learning about religions, but I believe the Casts have woven their own religion for this series. It makes me a bit uncomfortable because I am so devoted to my own faith, but I still read. I guess it is really cool that Zoey is so devoted to her goddess and her emotion for Nyx is so powerful and passionate..but while I read, I can't help but thing "Ahhh! You should be believing in God!"
Yeah, I think those are the only things that irk me.
A definite recommended book! It's excellent! =]
