About this listen

As priests, we are meant to obey, but our duties are to our gods—not mere men.

Zeal is back, and he's seen by more people every day. The God of Temptation grows stronger, but High Priest Kinen has found the one thing that can stop a god: disbelief. The return of our gods means an end to his power, and Kinen isn't ready to lose.

Over time, the priests of our temple have surrendered their power in the name of our god. We're trained to obey, to help, and to be Zeal's tools when he cannot help himself. Now, that has become a problem.

Power is given, never taken, and we have surrendered far too much. It's time for things to change, before our complacency destroys our gods. And yet, habits are such hard things to break.

What we need is a rebellion...and I'm going to start it.

Our gods never expected blind obedience, so it's time to give into the temptation to fight back. But will the price for this be more than I can pay? I just can't believe this is what my path was meant for, or is this all just a game between gods and men? Because we, the Priests of Temptation, have been betrayed.

I have prayed.

I have obeyed.

Now I'm doing it my way.

The Path of Temptation series features a strong woman and the men who love her. It is intended for mature listeners due to graphic language, adult situations, and potentially triggering violence including discussions of rape and assault, domestic violence, bullying, harassment, consensual pain and battery, shaming, sexual sadism, minor violence, and more adult themes.

I'm going to start with my annoyances firsts, as there are few. mainly my opinion. NO SPOILERS.

1) If we are given villians, I want to gloat in their downfall. I felt a bit robbed regarding Kinen and Tish.

2) Repeative, I felt the characters suffered from extreme bipolar lol. the grades were important, then they weren't, then they were and so on. The same with the characters and the constant "thats why Zeal gave me this lace, and they do really love me" I felt that more with book 5 and 6 and it did get grating and boring.

3) I felt the characters were written to be strong and to fight. But when it came to situations, the group were slow to react. The poisoned wine plot really annoyed me. It didn’t feel true to character by that point. They weren't written to be that dumb.

4) Due to point 2. I felt the story could of excelled more by including the opposing side POV, ideally Tish or Rishi. Getting a few glimpses would of been more exciting than the repeative narrative.

Overall I loved all 6 books. I would recommend. I liked the story so much that by book 6 I was getting annoyed with all the spice lol I just wanted to get back into the story. The narrators did well too.

Great story but a few annoyances

Outstanding story, but the constant reaffirmation to each other was far too much. At least 3hours or several generous chapters could have been cut out and made this whole thing flow better.
It's always disappointing when an author falls into this sort of repetition feedback loop, it detracts from an otherwise outstanding storyline and I found my ADHD brain would then tune out for 5minutes and think about random stuff.
Overall, a wonderful story, just tedious in places.

Far too much reaffirmation, but still good
