Good gravy! When S.M. Reine decides to stir up the pot, she does it in a BIG way! As bad as the otherworldly bad guys are, I find The Union to be utterly terrifying in a creeping, insidious sort of way. They're masquerading as the good guys, but they have their own agenda that threatens Elise and all the others like her. That gives me the willies in a way that no giant spider demon can.I *really* like the direction the overall arc is taking. It's so dark that I can't see a way out of it for our heroes. Speaking of which, having Elise and James in two different cities was hard. The bond between them feels strained and unless they start talking to one another, I don't think that's going to change any time in the near future.As stoic and unaffected as Elise normally is, I'm incredibly glad that something finally prodded her into stepping up to the plate and taking charge. Sure, it takes a coming together of the ethereal and the infernal, but she's finally letting herself take on the responsibilities that she's been running from. Big things are coming and Elise is going to need all the allies she can get her hands on.-Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal
