So, here it is: the cover for Tempted, the next book in the House of Night series.
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.”
I want to be excited about this, I do, and in some ways I guess I am, but…the last one? < Sigh > Went in directions I just couldn’t understand. (Please, please, Zoey, pick a guy. At this point, any guy! Though, from the blurb, it doesn’t appear that’s going to happen just yet. Damn.) That said, I’ll still definitely be reading it, and I’ve got to say, the page on the HoN site for this one is something, and there’s a teaser on there (which is what I got when I clicked on the link to read the first chapter.)
So…thoughts?

I totally agree. Hunted wasn’t all that great for me. I love Zoey, absolutely love her. But I want to shake that girl sometimes!
I really can’t wait for this one to come out. I’m hoping it will be better but even if it’s not I’m sticking with the HoN =)
Thanks for posting the cover. I wish it had more of a one color theme like the others
Oh, I’ll definitely see the series through. Way too invested to stop reading now.
But. Like you, I sooo want to shake that girl.
Sounds good, I cant wait to read the finished book; Will you offer as a PDF download from your website?
I can’t wait to, either, but no. No PDF here.
I heard that there was going to be more books after from an interfiew with P.C. And Kristen. This isn’t the last one.
Nope, not the last one, which I’m glad about. I don’t think she could resolve everything if it were.
They’ve signed on for twelve books; the last three are supposed to revolve around the red fledglings, whereas the sixth (coming out), seventh, and ninth upcoming books are still all Zoey’s perspective.
Anyway, the cover’s not really at all how I pictured it and it seems to be breaking away from the tradition of showing off the tattoos she’s been gifted by Nyx with, but I think it does clearly show that this book is probably going to be a LOT about the boy drama.
Lovely.
Huh. I didn’t know that about the red fledglings! But that’s cool. I’ve been wondering about them…
As for the boy drama: groan.
OMG WHO IS THE GUY ON THE COVER!???
stark is the one holding her & heath is in the background
damn stark is hot!! i want zey to chose a guy and i deffentaly wouldnt chose heath if i was her… but i would deffentaly have a rly hard time choseing between stark and eric
I would defiently chose stark iv read this book already and stark is wayyyy better than Erik or heath
heath no way at all he’s to obsessive
in the first couple books i would say eick but after hunted it seems like he’s way to protective nd he was hard core making out with her and that tells he thinks she just spread her legs any time he wants but stark is funny cute and has that bad boy apeal that most girls think is hot so i am definitely with stark at this moment he never pressured her about the dirty like the other two did
I liked the last one. I was a little irritated with how a good chunk of it was a flashblack but I still liked it. Looking forward to this one!
I certainly want to know how the story is going to move forward! So much to wonder about with that last one.
I NEED THS BOOK! I started these books on wednesday its now 2 a.m on sunday and ive finished them- i was reading whenever i got the chance
ARGH Zoey needs to get a grip with all these guys- she needs to tell erik hes being too posseseive, tell heath they can never be but she’ll always love him, and then stay with stark…. damn i don’t mind who she dumps aslong as she does it soon before she breaks eriks and heaths hearts AGAIN !
Questions about the cover who is she supposed to be with at the front- is that supposed to be erik or stark…i doubt its heath…
And then whos the dude in the background? Which of whichever remaining 2?
Oh and i have a question i read the last book online and i was wondering whether they put in a sneak peak chapter for the next book?? (mind my dumness i finished reading it like 2 minutes ago).
So anyway yeah i couldnt go i minute of the last few days not thinking about these books and have no idea how im going to get through this wait for the next one/// i gues ill just read them from the beggining again but take my time(lol)

I`ve already read this book from my friend its amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (L) luv it
how did you read it ally?
luvin da house of night series from day 1cant wait for yhe movies omg
I need to know the name of the model that’s portraying Stark. He’s effing hot.
I KNOW RIGHT.
The model for Stark is extremley hot and i would like to know his name too. Tempted is an amazing book.It just sad how the ending was though.
These books are pure literary genius!!! The casts are amazing writers and I’m glad to hear that the series are continuing for a long time. I love all of the guys, I mean yes they all have their problems but it’s obvious they love Zoey and if she loves them back whether she wants to or not then that’s all that truely matters. For a while during tempted I actually liked kalona.. I know that crazy when you know everything he’s done but the casts did a very good job in creating the intricate and complicate personalities of each character. Especially kalona and Eric. I have a feeling they are complicated further then what we see at the surface, they will make for an intresting discovery as the series journey progresses. Sorry, I’m a writer also so I tend to give my opinion from a writers view always open to possibilities. As for the movie I am an aspiring actress also and Zoey would be an honor to play.
seeing as we both sixteen x) Zoey is complex and although I would love to see her choose a guy FINALLY I think the boy trouble adds to the plot alot and losing it may make some of the story a tad more boring in parts. But the movies if they make them I can see another pop culture phenomenon and if the casting auditions take place near la sign me up! 
can’t wait for the next installment!!! <3
whats the name of the guy who plays stark???!!!
please tell me!!
okay who is the guy on the cover???? because i seriously need to know because hes hot!!!!! if you find out please post who he is!!!!!????!!!!!??? Thanks
I know the book has been released, like, ages ago, but I still need to know the guy’s who play Stark name!! I NEED TO! He’s damn fiiine, I really have to know that, or I might pass out every time I look at the cover.
OMFG!!! I agree with all of you! I want to know who is modeling as Stark to. He is just to fine. Also Tempted and Burned were great books!!
Im wondering what colour Persephone is because they never discribed what she looked like or what breed she is.
