This book was a struggle for me. It was a struggle for me to get into it, it was a struggle for me to stick with it, and now it will be a struggle for me to review it.I was expecting to really like this book because I have heard nothing but great things about her "Infected" series. However, this story I never meshed. It isn't that the writing is bad, per say, but it is so damn confusing. First of all, we are dumped right in the middle of the action with no introduction whatsoever. I felt disoriented and never quite got my bearings. There is a lot of information- gods, demigods, demons, worlds and universes- and I felt myself trying to mentally catalog everything versus getting into the story itself.My other issue with this book is the fact that the couple is already established. It isn't quite my tastes to just follow around a couple and not get a sense of who they are and what brought them together. I don't know why Bren and Dar cared for each other and it made me not care much about them.I think that the author had a lot of good ideas but I didn't love how it all came together. It felt like I was playing catch up for most of the story and not in a fun or exciting way. Though the book has some snark and humor that made it somewhat enjoyable for me, it wasn't enough to make me want to pick this one up again.**Copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review**
