I loved the first installment of this series and seriously wanted to love this book as well. Unfortunately, it lacked in both story length and cohesiveness. The general story line I loved, but everything was so rushed. I felt like a lot of things happened behind the scene so we didn't get enough of the details that are in most of the other novels. There were some parts that were repeated I felt. For example, when Frankie explains about the three different houses and how she was turned by a rogue who gave her all the powers from each house. I swear that point comes up several more times, differently worded of course, but along the same vein. I get that the author wants this story to be able to stand alone, but the first time that's explained should be enough for the reader.  The reason I thought the cohesiveness wasn't there was because I felt some of the action was behind the scenes (i.e. Matteo and narcissa, Landon's relationship) so it was kind of jarring to me when that was brought up in the story. I'm still a huge fan of the author and her work. This was honestly the first time I was a bit disappointed. Looking forward to future projects of hers.
