I love this series and have to say that Evangeline is one of my favorite authors.  That being said this story was by far my least favorite. I bought this book along with the next in the series shadowed book 8. I was very interested in reading book 8 but not so much this story. I really did not like Lissa from the previous book so I stopped reading after book 6. I just reread the previous books but I finally gave this book a shot. I have to say the story line as always was different than any of the other stories. That is a bonus but the story revolved mainly around sex. I find it hard to believe an entire planet would exist to pleasure the females who controlled the male population. It got boring after some time and I began to skip pages which I never did before in any of her books.I also thought the part which included L was a bit of a let down. Yes the result of her revenge was funny but it was a big (really)  for me.  They had this big build up where L (Laurens clone ) was working with Draven the bad guy and they were going to do something terrible to the Kindred and their brides, but then the final thing was just nothing really big. Humorous but I was expecting something devastating with the build up of Draven and it just was not that at all.So the story received three stars because I did not feel she recycled any of the previous stories which wins points from me since to many series I have read seem to do just that. The h was a snore though. True I never really liked her character so perhaps others don't feel the same way but I like h that are strong and Lissa just is not that. The story in all just did not grab me as previous books. I hope the next one is better. I hate to give up on this series. She is a very talented author.
