TEMPTED

In this series, Zoey Redbird is training to be a High Priestess at the House of Night school. Now Zoey finds herself becoming involved with yet another guy—the fiery, emotion-sensing, dream-invading warrior Kalona. With another character taking over the narrative for a time and a good deal of the story’s focus on the relationships between the characters, this title delivers less of what the series' fans have come to expect. Fortunately, Cassandra Morris's youthful and energetic narration more than makes up for the book’s deficiencies. In particular, Morris makes awkward dialogue sound natural and believable. This is a great example of a book that is, hands-down, better in audio than in print. M.L.K. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2010]
