Review: Tried to like the series

I read the first book, the novella, & then tackled this one (but am now giving up).  Really tried to like them, but just couldn't.  The characters were too immature (Bridget apparently thinks the world owes her:  hunks to sleep w/ as needed, riches from the sale of the "artifacts" they search for, & lifelong tenure at some prestigious university.  Her brother wanders around pretty clueless that "they" are following the pair just about everywhere, then is surprised when "they" attack them, try to kill them, etc.  Plus acting like some spoiled teenager himself).  I do like Father Jonathan MacGregor, their sometime ally, who is loyal to the Church but is increasingly conflicted between that loyalty & the shenanigans pulled by the Vatican.  If the series continues tho, there are only so many conflicts w/ Holy Mother Church that readers will put up with.  After all, if the Vatican grabs all the treasures from the Donavans then denies having them at all, the series will just go round & round.
