The Prayers We Pray

The Path of Temptation, Book 5

De: Auryn Hadley

Narrado por: Kasi Hollowell, Aaron Shedlock

Be careful what you pray for...because even gods can be tempted.

The Temple of Temptation is broken. The system is failing the priests who serve faithfully, but Zeal isn't missing. He's simply powerless—or was.

As more priests believe in our god, the balance of power has been shifting. Temptation is thriving. Miracles are happening. The High Priest is struggling. In his attempts to control me, he's making it almost impossible to help the other gods.

Something has to give, and I'm worried it might be me.

With the last semester of my initiate training underway, things are supposed to be looking up. I finally have instructors who are grading me fairly. I no longer feel like a failure. However, my ties to the nobility of our barony have drawn just a little too much attention. The wrong kind.

The High Priest wants to get rid of me. My enemies want to destroy me out of jealousy. The nobility wants to put me in my place. My lovers want to protect me at all costs because things are starting to get dangerous.

None of that will stop me because gods aren't the only ones to answer prayers.

I am the voice of Zeal. I walk with the Blade, the Shield, the Temptation, and the Shadow. We are the devoted—five priests determined to serve our gods in any way they demand—but the divine holds no power over men who don't believe. Faith offers little to those who think they are the ones who should be worshipped.

Gods want love. Men want power. Everyone knows temptation.

To save Zeal, I'm tempted to destroy everything...even our traditions.

The Path of Temptation series features a strong woman and the men who love her. Graphic language, adult situations, and potentially triggering violence that are suitable for a mature audience are included.

This is a love story, and while difficult topics are included, they are handled as respectfully as possible, because sometimes finding love isn't easy. Possible triggers include discussions of rape and assault, domestic violence, bullying, suicide, harassment, consensual pain and battery, shaming, sexual sadism, minor violence, and more adult themes.

Still captivating

I want to say that I'm shocked at how invested I still am in these characters and this world, but that would be a lie. Auryn is a wonderful storyteller who writes believable characters with excellent dialogue.

Great Read Once Again

I am glad I already have book 6! I am enjoying these books and will be sad when I finish them, but I can't quit reading them. Thank you once again to the author and narrators for bringing these characters to life..

I love this series

I love how the characters play off of each other. I cannot stop listening to sleep. Awesome concept.

So… what happens next

Listen, I am waiting to find out what happens. I feel like how fast or slow we are moving. I have a few more books until we get to the end. The amount of detail is astonishing and amazing but having to wait is bothering me lol.

the entire story

This author absolutely amazes me with every story I read. Also I love audible for having her on here and

Worth the credit and more!

I have listened to each of these 6 books atleast 3 times each. They are amazing. The character development is amazing, the story is amazing and the narrators are absolutely incredible! I hope that Auryn Hadley creates another story in the series and uploads more book. She’s an amazing author.

Can’t get enough of the series

More love it!!!! Keep up the great series’s !!loved the wolf pack now this one

Fair read even for a heterosexual male.

Good to great voice acting. Good story line with some surprises. Nice sex scenes if a bit heavy on the guy on guy, LOL!

Awesome

The story just sucks you in! Makes you lose track of time! Again this book is awesome!

Action Packed yet still sweet

Both the Temple of Temptation and the city of Calseth are in upheaval. Nari and crew are busy helping it happen. Between temple changes, finishing classes and helping the other gods be seen. In the middle of this, the group still has time to explore sex and love and the difference between the two.

Generally, I don’t enjoy books that have multiple actors but Kasi Hallowell and Aaron Shedlock work seamlessly together for an amazingly acted audio book.
