So this was really good. The story arc from the last 5 books comes to a close here though really I didn't know that there was an arc or anything that was binding them until we come partially through this one. You need to read the books preceding it to understand the whole, so don't start with this one.
Still even with a pretty good read, I'm not taken by Jane Yellowrock. I have friends that love Beast and their relationship. I have friends that love the relationships she wants but doesn't seem to ever get. I have friends that just love the mythology and Jane's kissassness. I would like to say that I feel all that but I just don't. I keep feeling like I should feel more but I don't. I think it is a good series, it just doesn't click with me as great. I feel like I've read out of my genre, a really good read but not what I would choose to pick up. Strange as it is my genre. I love Kate Daniel and Mercy Thompson so why not Jane? I cannot put my finger on it. Part might be that there is always love interests that she fights the attraction and more than one. None come to fruition even though we are 6 books in. Each of the 3 (4) interests, Bruiser, Leo, Rick, and maybe Eli (no more), have big red x marks for me in the way she describes them, yet she and Beast are still yearning and arguing over the 3. To me it is a distraction and annoying. Then there is her self blame, well in this one, she pretty much has dropped it! Yea! I didn't connect with one of her books just because she had so much misplaced self blame. I didn't feel that in this and felt like she had moved on. Maybe if the love square resolves, I would connect more with Jane.
