Review: Decisions, Decisions!!!

I really struggled in deciding whether to rate this book 3 or 4 stars.  The first two books really captivated me.  I went through them in like a day and a half.  I was so excited when i saw that there was a third novel. ****SPOILER ALERT****Now for the bad.  I really felt that the main character Nikita took a developmental step backwards in this third book.  In the first two novels she seemed to be more clear headed and action driven.  She was destined to be a leader and everyone around her could see it even is she didn't.  But in this book she was very confused, and alittle irrational, to the point where Sam (her love interest) and her friends are the one leading her around and tring to convince her to do the right thing.  I could actually see alot of similarity between the and her demented and powerful "sister" Natalie.  They were both immature, powerful, and continued to do things that put everyone around them in danger for some sophmoric sense of justice.  I mean she chose to go save her godmother when she could have went to find someone that could help saved the world which would have saved her godmother anyway.  I don't know if the author used it as a filler but I felt it took away from the development of the plot.  Some parts of it was repetitious in the sense that they kept telling her how strong she was and how she needs control and how her lack of control hurt more than it helped.  Then there was the whole Sam saving her life thing.  If I remembered correctly in book two Sam gave her the choice to live or die and she chose to live.  In this book she is yelling at him and blaming him asking him why he didn't just let her die. Talk about being ungrateful!!! At that point even I wanted her dead!!!Now for the good.  Call it what you will the story was intriging.  The battle between heaven and hell, the turns and twists.  I just couldn't stop reading it.  The author gave great descriptive details of the world i felt like i was really there participating in those the battle scenes.  I think the author also did a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life for the reader.  For better or for worst I wouldn't have spent the first part of my review talking about the main character if the author hadn't done a great job of bring the character to life.  I really liked the ending it brought it all together for me my heart was really feeling for Niki and Sam. I hope the author writes a 4th book in the series.  All in all the book was great definately worth reading.  Pure genius on the part of the author to offer the first book for free because after that I was hooked and I am sure you will be too.
