"This seires is not for me. I have been on the fence about it from the start. The writing and world are easy to dive into but the plot and relationships meander too much in my opinion. For instance the books are not very long but Briggs wrote an extensive recap in with the main storyline. Also the romance. I am all about agnst and anti-instant love but this took it to a whole new level, to the point where I thought pages were missing.<br/><br/>Yes I am an adventous reader. No I do not only read romance. Though when it's supplied I do look forward to it. I think my biggest problem was that I didn't feel Mercy's emotions. She cares for people of course but when they are in danger or missing I can't feel the hurt in her words or actions. Nothing that makes me believe Mercy would never be the same if she lost friends.<br/><br/>There was a multitude of characters that I enjoyed. And I was better able to distinguish them this time. Still we are learning more about the world and rules which is always a plus. The cover tricked me though. Honestly I like book with or without spice but I was a bit disappointed by the sexy picture on the cover and it turned out to be anything but. I'm just surprised because there were so many dominating males and hardly any females in the mix. And with all that you get just a couple of kiss-your-mother-on-the-mouth pecks. <br/><br/>Again the recaps took up what felt like a quarter of the book. It was so much info you could probably skip the first one. The romance did not progress and little did the character arcs. This is an instants of where to much is left out on the table for me to want to continue. While I like the story I can't help but want more than I am given. <br/><br/>'He had been warning me about pushing buttons for as long as I can remember. I don't know why. I'm not stupid. I'm always careful when I torment werewolves.'"
"Not gonna lie, I wish Stefan had his own book. Like, just his own little spin-off book. It could be a standalone or duet, and I'd be happy"

"I really liked this book. I can't exactly put my finger on why, but its probably a mix of the bit of mystery teaser, the paranormal, and the off-beat humor it has. (I may be reading most of this wrong, but it my opinion and I don't read anything about a book before I read the actual book so all of its a complete surprise aside from what I can figure out about the cover.) I really do love how this book is broken into so many chapters even. It just makes it easier to read to me. Overall there wasn't anything that I didn't like about this book and I can't wait to find out what happens in the next one."
