Review: I won't buy any more books in the series

I've really enjoyed the series up until this point, but I won't buy the next book.  Not because of the sometimes stiff dialogue or the fact that Zollin's powers are so completely uneven, I can get over those problems.  What I can't deal with is the terrible way that relationships are used as the only source of drama in the book.  Rather than have some meaty plot development, the rocky weird romantic issues between Zollin and Brianna are rehashed over and over again.I'm tired of, "ZOMG I love her, wait, I hate her, no, I love her but she hates me.  WHAAAAAAT? We both love each other now?  Oh, my bad, she just essentially cuckolded me.  Guess it's time to pretend to be happy for her.  It's cool, right?  I'm happy if she's happy."Stop.  It's not noble and it's not the high road.  It's being a coward.  Just when the character starts to get a backbone, the author throws all of the character development away because beating a dead horse is easier than putting some real thought into a book.  I get it.  It's fine.  If that's what the author wants to do with his story, great, but I won't be coming back and I certainly won't be recommending the series anymore.I realize that a lot of readers are going to eat this garbage up, but not me.  It's worse than those Fate's Forsaken books, but there are only two of those so far.  And, hey, it's a thousand times better anything Morgan Rice has ever written.I might even forget how much I hated this one if the next book takes long enough.  Of course, I fully expect the author to have random characters start being raped for no reason in the next one, so that'll jog my memory.
