Well, I thought this was the last book in the series, but I was wrong. The story is pretty complex and unique. At least Moning is a decent, if light, writer. There are still too many questions in the plot that have not been resolved, and the longer the series gets the more trouble I have keeping it straight. Let's just say I didn't like this book enough to buy it, I checked it out from the library.
I am put off by this new trend of romance series writers (particularly various paranormal series) to break the fourth wall, making their characters seem as if they are interacting in the real world. Mostly by using the internet to set up fake business/personal domains of characters from the novels. I don't have the energy for this, and it seems like more of a marketing ploy that a real fan-driven community. It irritates me, just like artificial cliffhangers that try to drive you to read/buy the next book. Does anyone write romance novels anymore without a giant family tree, plotting the next several books? You can practically see the dollar signs in the publisher's eyes when they get there hands on a fairly entertaining novel/plot. The greed is so transparent. And we, the reader, get caught up in it, thinking maybe the next novel will be better...
