Our view
“Tempted”, the sixth House of Night novel, builds to an ending that some readers call shocking and that leaves them wanting the next book. Along the way it sorts out its heroine’s tangled love life, making clearer what each of the young men around her means to her, and others are relieved to find less romantic drama than before. It is a volume for those already settled in at the vampire school.
