6,849 pages to go … “Tempted”

I have been addicted to the House of Night series since Book 1. Going on Book 6, “Tempted” by P.C. Cast and Kristin Cast (319 pages), the series seems to be running out of steam.

Usually, I can’t wait to read the next one  and would count down the days until it came out — this time, I read like 50 pages and then put it down … for a year. It wasn’t until the next book came out that I thought perhaps I should finish the last.

I still bought the new one, “Burned,” but I haven’t even cracked the cover yet. I think that I am ready for some part of the series to wrap up. The authors just keep adding, but not really solving anything. Each book only spans a couple of days at most, so they can’t cover that much.

The Casts have also been summarizing the other books A LOT. I can’t stand when authors do this. Either have a summary of the past books in a separate section, or just believe that people have read the other ones. I mean really, it’s annoying.

So, I am going to read Book 7, but if this series doesn’t pick up, I’m going to drop it, too.

(I am not going to put a summary, because if you are starting with Book 1, it would give stuff away.)
