I buy everything that Ms. Bell produces and will likely buy the next book in this series but I hope it's better than this one. I enjoyed the world that she painted. The quirks of the various characters in this all supernatural town were fun to read about. The book was fast paced and there was a lot of action.My complaint was that the relationship between Parker and Amara was underdeveloped. I didn't click with them at all. The whole mated-fated thing usually works for me but not this time. There was no development to their relationship. It's just suddenly there. It wasn't interesting at all. Ms. Bell usually excels at the bedroom scenes but the ones in this book were just meh. I found them to be boring and somewhat cold. Maybe because I wasn't empathizing with the characters. Honestly, the relationship between Brian and Greg was more interesting.I also got annoyed at the amount of page time that was devoted to setting up relationships for books to follow. I would rather that those pages had been used to deepen the relationship between the mains. If this had been an author for whom I had lower expectations, I might not be so critical, but Ms. Bell is capable of much better work than this.
