Shades of Dark by Linnea Sinclair
3.0
Whew, Shades of Dark was so much better than it's predecessor [b:Gabriel's Ghost|7384977|Gabriel's Ghost (Dock Five Universe, #1)|Linnea Sinclair|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1267441193s/7384977.jpg|342951]!
I liked the story in Gabriel's Ghost, but there were a lot of minor issues with the writing and the characterization that Sinclair really improved upon in Shades of Dark.
I thought Shades of Dark does a much better job of handling character emotions. It still wasn't perfect, but it was much improved. In the first book I found Chaz to be childish and unreliable in her emotional reactions to things - she was much more rational and, I thought, acted more her age in Shades of Dark.
I actually think these two books could have been edited and combined into one book for a much more complete story.
