I waited for this book, checking the author's site frequently - and I wish I were still as excited about reading it as I was before it was available.......for some reason, Ms Schulte believes that violence and graphic descriptions of pain make for a good novel, and Serene's trip through hell certainly provided opportunities for graphic descriptions.  I'm still confused about what happened between her and the vampire - went back and couple times to read it, and still I don't get the whole deal of why he had to be the one to go with her, other than the fact that he held onto the rod of Charon after she'd stolen it.  The book ends with the necromancer's disappearance, and the cliffhanger threat of what the spirits' intentions toward the residents of the Abyss might be.  I'm asking myself if I will purchase whatever book is written to resolve that dilemma, or whether I'll still feel "meh" when it's released.  It's not totally awful, it's also not totally great.  I wish she'd take a class in how to develop plot lines and character so that her novels are plot-character driven rather than impossible disaster with graphic violence-driven.
