This is my 4th and last Rose Pressey book.  First, she needs to get a better editor - if she even has one.  Typos, grammatical errors, strangely constructed sentences, words that aren't really words and references to things that are confusing.  This book had its characters on a frantic circular chase with one another - and never created any feeling that that's the way it should be.  The irritating neighbor/former client is extremely irritating and Rylie and her roommate are silly.  The romance doesn't feel like a romance, the BIG scenes in the book are just like in the other books - coming, coming, coming - whew - that's over.  There are no good descriptions and no sense that something big has or will happen - no build-up, no climactic event.  It's kind of a one-note book. The same criticisms hold true for How to Date a Werewolf and How to Date a Vampire.  All of the characters are immature, no really strong people.  And we are sometimes presented with things that we then have to research.  I, for one, am not a follower of voodoo and do not know what a gris gris bag is.  It would have taken little effort to describe it without insulting those who know what it is.  And can we have a peek into the chants and the real mysticism that goes with the amulets?  None of it was forthcoming.  Ms. Pressey's books all seem like works in progress - as if we are her big writer's group who are trying to help her make things better.  But, as far as I can see, it isn't helping. Sorry Ms. Pressy - no more of my money into the your pockets.
