3.0

This installment was a little better than the previous few. It didn't circle around the same love triangle as much, or at least not in the same way. It introduced elements to Gabriel and Ricky's relationship that I really enjoyed, and Olivia was definitely less problematic than in the last books, although I do wish she would stop fainting every 10 pages, that got pretty old. I was also VERY annoyed with Gabriel in this one--yes, I suppose he's making strides on the not-being-a-douche-and-hiding-everything front, but JUST SPIT IT OUT, DAMN IT. The angsty silences were killing me. And Olivia still has a nasty habit of explaining away Gabriel's dumbass-ness on her own mistakes, which is patently untrue, but oh well.

I am also confused what the point of this series is--is it a procedural? A really extended love story? An exploration into faerie mythology? It needs a main focus that doesn't revolve around the same tired question of will they or won't they.
