Review: Good but could have been so much better

This is one of the most exasperating reads in a long time. I just finished the 2nd book and it was agonizing. Each chapter went back and forth between the two main characters who are in love; but they're not; but they are; but they're not - (you get the picture) even up until their wedding day they are still questioning their love for each other. It is beyond absurd. I think the first book could have ended with them coming together and the 2nd book was entirely unnecessary. The editing of these books is terrible. The author/editor doesn't know her tenses so past, present and future are mixed up sometimes in the same sentence. The main female character Misty is the worst lead I have ever read. She's a regular contradiction in everything to the point of appearing to have a split personality. She's weak and stumbling and tip toes yet she can kill a vampire with a vine. Right. She also uses fake curse words like "schick" which is annoying considering how much real language is used throughout the books. And she is a veritable waterworks - constantly crying, bursting into tears, eyes watering - my god it's like Noah's ark. She also is constantly thinking "I wish I'd die" and by the end I wish she had too. It is unbelievable that any man would fall for this woman. That said, the other characters are well developed, interesting and funny which is the only reason I finished the second book. Some new characters were introduced in the second book so I'm hoping the third book will be better now that the saga of the first two appears to be over.  One can hope. If I had one suggestion for this author it would be to learn when to end a story.
