...but I guess I didn't really know what to expect.  First let me say I am team Peter all the way.  Although he's mentioned less in the book than Jack I still find him much more appealing and sexy and deep and all those things.  Alice is crazy to pick Jack over Peter and I'm hoping she might change her mind later on.I guess I thought this was going to explain a little more.  About how Peter felt about Alice, what he was thinking, how much he loved her, etc etc.  But most of it was repetitive and sometimes a little irritating.  I get that he loved Elise but did people really drone on like that back in the day?It did explain some things like Ezra's and Peter's past as well as how Mae and Jack came in and I enjoyed that.  I guess I was looking for more detail.  And Elise's death seemed kind of abrupt and poorly handled by the characters and thus the author.It didn't give me closure like I'd hoped for so I'm praying for book 5.There was also a HUGE error in the story, well, in my opinion.  There's one part where he's writing to Elise and he writes "Elise" instead of "you" - and he wasn't addressing her, he was writing about her.  That frustrated me and threw off the story for the time being.  I just felt like it messed with the flow and left me a little disconnected.  I had to stop reading and then go back.Also, was anyone else confused by the ending? Is Peter planning on becoming a vampire hunter with Alice and killing Gunnar and his pack?Finally, if you've read the whole series I would recommend reading this novella and do what I did - wait until you've read all four of the series before reading this.I know it sounds like I didn't like this, I did.  It was 80% what I wanted and 20% lacking.  If she can wrap up this series nicely it makes the whole thing worth reading for sure.
