Review: Series going downhill fast
Rating: 2 out of 5

I really wanted to like these books.  I think the premise is good, and the voodoo angle is something new and fresh.  I really struggled with the whole slavery bit.  I just felt like the big social issues were being forced down the readers throat, and while yes, it is part of the story, I found the way it was presented as being very off-putting.  And, to top it off, Arelia is just plain annoying.  Her childish language and temper tantrums get old.  The romance is also stale, and it just plods along. Overall, it's not something I would read again, and I don't know that I will buy the 4th book.
