The title Temptation nails this episode as it is all about the temptation that Moloch puts out there for Wraith. Is she strong enough to resist, or will she succumb and forget about her mission?
'The truth is I want to quickly get through whatever tests he has linedup for me - Zachariel seems to think there will be several - so I can convince Moloch to let me in on his plans.'
As she passes test after test, Wraith learns more about Gehenna and she also learns there is no one she can trust.
'We're talking thousands of lives here. I can't stand by and let that happen... and yet I know the price will most certainly be my life.
I love that we get a new episode of Debt Collector each week! I am not sure how Susan keeps up the pace but I sure am glad that she does so we don't have long to wait for the next exciting installment.

I received a copy in exchange for an honest review
With every episode I get more and more ensnared into this world Susan has created. The Debt Collector is a great series, with an intriguing world and every episode opens up even more questions while revealing a little as well. The episode format really works for this series and every episode ends in such a way as to make me want the next episode without it begin a cliffhanger.
In Temptation we see how Wraith gets tempted to join Gehana, at the beginning I thought they didn't have to offer anything but while their ideas are terrifying they do have something Wraith might want. It was interesting to see Wraith change in this episode and we finally get some answers about what Gehena is after.
I didn't like Seth one bit, we don't get a good idea of who he is, but what we did see of him wasn't someone I liked. I still like Zachariel, even though I haven't quite figured out how he fits into this and on who's side he is.
I am really curious what's going to happen next. Wraith has been placed into a difficult situation again. This one maybe even more difficult then the ones before and I am not sure how she's going to get out of this.
To conclude: I really enjoyed this episode. We get to know a little bit more about Gehena and the episode ends with Wraith into another difficult situation. I can't wait for the next episode!

I want to thank Susan, once again, for allowing me to read this before it's published. I have been enjoying this series so much, it's hard to wait for each episode.
This episode bring Wraith further into the fold of Gehenna. She's trying to play them, while they try to convince her to join them (and not through methods that she can say no to). It's a tepid game being played for high stakes and Wraith walks a fine line trying to keep true to herself. I love how Quinn portrays the evil in her stories, as if they are trying to do some good, but in the long run we know they are just up to plain old no good. And it's hard to see who is the enemy and who is the friend at times. Wraith has people she thinks she can trust, but then new information comes to light and she's not so sure, questioning all she's learned while trying to put the puzzle together.
This episode wasn't quite as action packed as some of the others, however, it gives some amazing world building elements that are essential to the plot and any twists you encounter. I love the way Quinn paints her sense, seamlessly drawing you into wherever the characters are and making you feel as if you are right there experiencing it all with them.
I like that this episode kind of wraps itself up, as we wait for the next scene to unfold. The last few have left me with a bit of a cliffhanger and holding on was near impossible! I can't wait to read what's in store next!
