Review: Good but a bit confusing

Over all, I enjoyed Sacrificed in Shadow but it left me scratching my head and wondering if I missed something. In general I liked Elise but even at the end I was still not quite sure who or what she is. As for James, I never did figure out how he fit into Elise's life (?) or past. Those may be good things if that's what the authors intension was but for me they added to my confusion as I kept waiting for a light bulb to light up as Elise changed shapes and feelings faster than I could keep up with. Each time I thought I had her figured out, she turned into a completely different entity that frankly didn't fit with what she had been several paragraphs before. i.e. her physical shapes, moods, feelings, caring about others, concern for right and wrong, etc.... were all over the place. I sense part of that was deliberate but it sure was confusing and left me cold trying to relate to her at times.Perhaps reading another book in the series will help but I'm not quite sure I want to expend the energy.
