I'm enjoying this world as a whole, but the actual plot in this one (and the past two) was so damn predictable - from who the bad guy was to the path the romance took. The only thing I didn't predict was

Spoiler

that Merit got away from the Red Guard with a simple no. (I'm sure they come into play later in the series.) I so thought Ethan was going to find out she was approached and take it as a huge betrayal and THAT would have broken them up. Not Ethan being a dumb urban fantasy alpha vampire male.

I have the fourth one in paperback so I'll be reading it soon. This series is kind of perfect for mindless popcorn reading when I need it, but I wish there was a little more meat to it.
