This was my least favorite of the series so far. It was just too slow and stagnant. I think the next one is supposed to be the last one and there are A LOT of loose ends to tie up, so I’m interested to see how that goes. 

1. Why did the Star necklace fall off Darcy when she shifted at the end when she has shifted before and it didnt fall off? 
2. And I know that Gabriel is in the prior series, but I haven’t read it yet so I get kind of annoyed that they kept mentioning his “family” but we never see them in this.
3. The whole Seth and Caleb thing felt too drawn out to me. I mean come on, they can’t get their shit together or a friend can’t tell Caleb or something?!

 
I hope the next book is better, and I hope it is the last.
