The first of a series of five books, "Temptation" is the beginning of Alex Corting's senior year in high school. The journey begins with the bullied Alex becoming more and more tempted by the wrong choice. He battles the norms of teenage life and those who try to help him become detrimental in his self worth. Those who treat him as "different" and not belonging push him closer to the brink. All too often we as society cause our own tragedy without ever realizing it.
