This is a really tough review to write.  I actually came on Amazon when I finished the story, to see if there was a sequel.  I really hoped some of the loose ends might be tied up somewhere.  And, I actually liked the last third of the book, even though the sex was disappointing!  I really wanted to know more about the characters...except "Bella".  I love strong, capable female characters, but she was only good on a bike and with weapons.  I did not understand Jack's undying love, as I thought she had all the appeal of a wet marshmallow.  She was such a hot mess, under  that tough exterior, that I almost quit reading.  And the constant, never ending misuse of "phase" for "faze" was incredibly irritating. I'm not a grammar freak, typos don't faze me...but this constant usage of phase, or phased, was seriously starting to bother me. I would expect someone who wrote this many books to know the difference.  And every hot guy looks, and sounds, like a movie star?  Seriously?  Bella kind of redeemed herself at the end, enough that I would have bought a sequel had it been available.  I can't imagine ever re-reading this though...All in all, not the worst book I've ever read, but certainly not the best.  I am a little surprised by so many five star reviews.  Even with the parts I disliked, I might have given it a four, if I hadn't felt like I was just left hanging.
