Tempted: A House of Night Novel by P.C. & Kristin Cast

What's on the back of the book:
Dark secrets and unspoken decisions come between Zoey and Stevie Rae, putting their friendship - and the House of Night - at risk. After Zoey Redbird and her gang have banished Kalona and Neferet from Tulsa, you'd think they'd catch a break. But with Zoey and her sexy warrior Stark both recovering from a brush with death, and the fledglings struggling to deal with the fallout from Neferet's reign of terror, a break is just not in the forecast. Zoey is haunted by her confusing yet elemental connection with A-ya, the ancient Cherokee maiden who was the only human able to tempt Kalona's body and soul. How will A-ya's pull on her affect zoey's ability to resist the dangerously seductive immortal? Meanwhile, Stevie Rae, with her super red-vamp powers, always thought she could handle the stuff she's been keeping from her BFF. But the mysterious, threatening force lurking in the tunnels under the Tulsa Depot is spreading. Stevie Rae won't confide where she's been and what she's doing, and Zoey is beginning to wonder just how much she can trust the person she always thought would have her back.
Will their choice destroy them and will darkness consume the House of Night?

A piece from the book:
'I felt drawn to Kalona from the first second I saw him,' I said slowly. I wouldn't lie to Grandma, but that didn't mean telling her the truth would be easy. 'But almost all the fledglings and even the vampyres were drawn to him - actually, it was like they were under some kind of spell he was able to cast.'
Grandma nodded. 'So I already heard from Stevie Rae. But it was different with you? More than just this magical allure he has?'
'Yeah. With me it wasn't so much that I was under his spell.' I swallowed past the dryness in my throat. 'I wasn't tricked into thinking he was Erebus come to earth, and I knew he planned evil with Neferet. I saw his darkness. But I also wanted to be with him - not just because I believed he might still be able to choose to be good, but because I wanted him, even though I knew it was wrong.'
