Review: You tell a great story...

Buy these books with four caveats:1 - Tense - past or present, author and editor seem to think it's okay to mix them.  I don't.2 - POVs, points of view,  three are a bit much but I see why she has written the narrative that way.  It lets the reader know the events occurred at the same time.  But do you need to reiterate the same details when all of the characters are at the same event?The problem is this two-volume, forty-nine chapter and an epilogue story could have gotten the same message across in one volume of nineteen chapters and an epilogue just by getting rid of all the repeated scenes.3 - I'm pretty certain British English has the same rules of grammar as American English.  It would have been nice if they were used.4 - Do Not read this volume first.  It gives no explanation of what preceded it.  You will not understand why the main characters are going through what is happening.It is a great story.  I was fully invested in the characters although Peppa could have gotten out of bed and the tension built between her and the detective would have given us a more intense edge.Why are details of how she copes with the circumstances just dropped?There were some missed opportunities for Monica since she plays a major supportive role.I'm not a fan of vampire stories but the mythology of this one is unique.  Then again since I really am not into this genre at all if the term entwined is used by other authors then I got hooked by the soul mate idea.There are a few little holes that I would have ignored if not for redundancy and tense issues.I purchased this second volume because I wanted to know the end of the story.  I will not be buying anything else by the author if this is how she tells a story.
