Review: Wish it was better
Rating: 3 out of 5

** spoiler alert **Hmmm, once again I feel a bit let down. I know, I see tons of folks giving it 5 stars so it's obviously a ME issue with the series.I really liked having Julie tell the story. She has to deal with an incredible amount of secrets, lies, betrayals and then finds out who/what she really is. Her life going from the ridiculous to the surreal and how she managed to find her way was a lot of fun, hence the 3 stars.Torch let me down though. I was really enjoying seeing this new side of him, thinking he'd turn out to be more than a meat-head. Heavy sigh, twas not to be. Since I've not read Stephanie Plum books, the constant reference to a character I have no clue about wasn't very fun for me, either. I enjoy references, makes me curious and will check out an author to see why it was referenced. Since I didn't really feel much for Torch in this book, not sure I'd care much for Ranger. For a broody hot guy that I would totally trust with my life, I'll take Sicarius from Emperor's Edge series any day over these over bearing Nephilim idiots. The man has a brain as well as all that awesome strength and beauty...mmmm, but I digress.Why didn't granny just turn Drako into dust from the get-go? Maybe have a more interesting story to tell instead would have been nice.Why was Lance such an idiot and why did the whole pack die just for some woman that other than needing to have Torch inside her all the time, was a mess inside and out made no sense either. Judging by how the were's and vamps relate to each other, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have been sniffing up her butt. More like figuring out how to contain her and use her for leverage, IMO.The use of the word 'their' when it should have been a 'they're' caused a grimace face palm, added to the many other annoying typos.Here's to hoping the next book won't make me wish I had saved my money.
