It's slow going at times, and the romance feels like too much too fast, but I am interested in the plot. While I do like that Franki stands up for herself, it drives me rather crazy that she chooses to do so at times that don't make much sense to me. Asserting your independence is good and all, but that doesn't mean you should run off half-cocked getting yourself into trouble.

For being the third dang book in a "series," this author has done a pretty shitacular job of world-building and creature description. What even is a witch or a demon in these books? What can they do? What makes them discernible from any other creature? What makes them powerful or otherwise? Dark or light? THESE are the important questions here!
But THIS author would rather dwell wholeheartedly on the all-consuming, UNimportant questions, such as: Why won't Rend date Franki? Why is Azure such a witchy-bitch? Why is Rend protecting Franki, she's a nobody? Etc. Honestly, I fee like pulling my dang hair out at this point. Such a dang WASTE!!
I am way over this faux need that Rend and Franki supposedly have for each other. It's nonsensical, pretty much unprovoked, and here Franki is throwing this "my heart can't beat without him now" bull when she literally does not even know WHAT the guy is!!! Which, I must say, for all the dramatics that this author tried to throw in with this particular piece of news, I was not the least bit shocked. It was so damn OBVIOUS. For cripe's sake man!! I mean, open your dang EYES girl!! Sheesh.
Anyway, this third addition had far too many theatrics for my taste. Totally overdone on the dramatics level. Also, these first three books could have ALL been made into a SINGLE BOOK. This should have been made into a sequel-series if a series at all: the first book being week one and the second book being week two, seeing as, you know, there is literally only two dang weeks encompassing this ENTIRE SERIES. So wish I hadn't bought the damn series, because now I'm invested in more ways than one. Oh well. At least the books are SHORT.
