Review: So much potential, but little follow-up

The second book in this series follows Frankie to Florida, where she's on a secret missing, lying in wait for Andreas, one of the original three vamps, so she can kill him. She's broken up with her Eternal consort Nicholas, and hiding in one of the hottest places on earth. While she's killing time and missing Nicholas, she gets involved with some witches and ends up trying to figure out why all their familiars are missing. Will she accomplish her goal (without getting killed)?The Good and Not So GoodIt was a bit of a disappointment because it felt rushed. It was cheap (99 cents), which was good because it was worth about half a story. I loved Frankie and the mythology for this world. I like the introduction of new characters, such as Barney the cat and I would have loved to see those new relationships explored further. I felt the romance was given short shrift in the first book and that wasn't corrected in this one.Unfortunately, the first part of the novella was an info-dump, the romance was barely there except for sex, and the conclusion was told, not shown, leaving me feel like I read a book report about the story, instead of actually watching it unfold.The Bottom LineThere was alot of potential with the premise, I enjoyed the humor and the new characters, but it could have been so much more.
