This novella series has really fallen into the typical urban fantasy mold.  Riley is a victim.  Yeah she's supposed to be an alpha but she doesn't act like one.  Riley has turned into the woman that can't take care of herself and has to have her two love interests saving her.  The writing is inconsistent to the point of annoyance.  In the descent series half demons could bleed to death from a paper cut.  One shows up here and is an unstoppable killing machine.  Who before gets taken down easy but here can hold off two alphas on her own.  There are other things I won't go into to limit any spoilers.Eleanor is way over used.  She was so unbelievable before and she's worse now.  Then there is Cain.  This guy is a joke.  An uber, magic using, no scent having werewolf.  When he's revealed its not even close to being a surprise.  Lastly the end of the book falls into the typical mold of urban fantasy.  After reading these novella I have some serious doubts about the upcoming ascension series.
