Ok, so I read book one and i enjoyed it. It wasn't great, but it was entertaining. I loved Katie in book 1. She was pissed when she had all right to be, and fought when she was supposed to. She reacted more human to me, compared to some of the other female lead characters I've read. I even ended up loving Rhyn. He was just so troubled, and misunderstood but an all around good guy. I couldn't help but fall in love with him, and hoped he found some shred of happiness. I thought Katie was a good option until I got to book 2.WTH. Katie went from hero to zero in no time. She was a complete whiner. I kept wondering what her deal was. Why was she fighting the relationship with Rhyn? What is so damaging if they get together? He likes her, she likes him, he's powerful, etc. etc., what was the problem? The whole time i kept thinking is this girl for real? She's really going to torment Rhyn this way, and yep you know, what she did. She kept griping about going back to her old life, blah blah blah. Get real! You can't have it back. What's done is done. Even if they call it quits, she's not a "normal" human, she never was. She can't unknow what she does, or undo what's already been done, so why the constant desire to go back? It was ridiculous. And after listening to her complaining about something i found ludicrous I kept hoping Rhyn would just walk away. He deserved so much better. He hadn't, hadn't done anything to warrant her making him wait and work for it. Yeah he aint got much to offer, but that's cause he's spent years in hell. And what's the big deal? She's no better. She had nothing to offer him either. Yes he was a jerk in the beginning, but who wouldn't be, after spending so long in hell, and having a family that despises you. As time went on he saved her, protected her, comforted her, etc... He didn't abuse her, or really do anything so damaging to her that she had to act like the man destroyed her life. So why torture the man? I couldn't stand her attitude.  I won't bother finishing/reading book 3. It gets 3 stars for being slightly entertaining, and loses two for having a female character that grew bloated with her own self importance.
