Review: Fantastic - until the end!

Completely unbelievable. Volumes 1-7 were fantastic! I thought I'd found a new series to share with all my friends who love reading this genre of books. Then, Volume 8. Where do I begin? Its like the author had no idea how to wrap up the story and just picked the most unbelievable, crazy, shocking way to do it. I simply can't believe this is what she had planned from the beginning - because it just made ZERO sense. What a copout! I overlooked a lot of things that were just a little "off" in lieu of the interesting characters, hot sex scenes, etc., thinking it was at least going to have a nice, sensible ending. But I was plain wrong! I also don't like books released in volumes and would never have read it except they were bundled. I could have even overlooked this if it had been worth it.****MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS****My main problem was if Zane was convinced Cruze killed his wife, would he actually let the woman he loves spend any time at all with him?? And not only spend time with him, when he left her, he left Cruze's phone number? Silly and makes the entire story not credible.So much is alluded to about Zane's family and some "big" crime he committed where the cops were looking for him. Why did he even leave town to begin with? Why did he run? This is never even mentioned again - and never explained. What the heck? It makes zero sense. There were characters who were mentioned but never expanded on?!While I feel the author has definite talent, something seems to have happened that makes me feel like she just gave up & tried to rush the ending or something. I wish I knew. Not sure if I'd ever read anything by her again. What wasted potential! Where are the editors who point things like this out to upcoming authors?? How this has so many 5 star ratings is just beyond me. It must not take much to entertain these days, is the only thing I can think of.
