The Last Serenade by Amanda DeWees
3.0
I really loved the first book in this series. The snap and sparkle of both Sybill by herself, and her interactions with Roderick were delightful.
I must admit that I was a tad disappointed with this second book. I feel like Sybill went off the rails a bit in this story. In the first book, Sybill was strong and fierce and determined and took shit from nobody. She was going to look after herself and do what was necessary to protect herself and her interests so I found her wonderful.
Somehow, resolving her relationship with Roderick has turned her into an insecure, wishy-washy over dramatic person all of a sudden. I found myself irked by Sybill's responses to Julia's B.S., and obvious attempts to poke her and make her doubt herself and her relationship. I just don't understand how Sybill could suddenly lose her good sense and allow Julia to get under her skin.
That said, I did still enjoy the story, and I like the world these characters inhabit. I am hopeful that now that the previous paramour has been dispatched and sent on her way, Sybill will revert back to the strong, capable and sensible woman she was in book one for the next book. I look forward to continuing with this series.
