I really, really wanted to like this book but it just all fell apart for me. The "heroine"is just too stupid to live. At first you get to feel for her a bit because she watched her older sister sacrifice herself at the hands of a homicidal rogue werewolf. However, during the fight I started to get the inkling that it was the wrong sister who was destined to survive.Spoliers....................She barely manages to escape, and when she does her life is forever changed- she's supposed to become this bad a$$ super Exterminator who went through vigorous training (which the Hero describes to be tougher than any SEAL training we may have- and you basically have to be an uber humman/vamp/were to complete). Only, on her very first time on patrol when she does encounter the big bad wolf, she charges directly at him, screaming like a banshee. What?! She ends up needing to be rescued by the Hero, despite her vehemnet denial otherwise.Once said H has rescued her, they can't seam to fight their attraction, engage in a lil nooky and then she stabs him b/c apparently that's how you get someone to realize that you're a big girl now and you don't need nobody's help.Then, fleeing the H she gets captured again! Lucky for her, she is taken hold of by the dumbest idiots out there. Her one line to the dastardly devil reads, "Go away, you bully. Frightening a child. You should be ashamed of yourself... Shoo!" Shoo!!! Really? Really?!? All her traning just went straight out the window. How the heck did she manage to scale mountains and swim across shark infested waters and wrestle crocs?The writing comes across as  being both disjointed and childish- with full stops to describe what someone's wearing. I don't need a break in the story for you to tell me a Guy A is wearing a cloak and Guy B is wearing a shirt with several buttons undone. Not if it doesn't add to the context!By the end, I was rooting for the evil rogues to finish her off.
