So this book was meh. The writing wasn't great and it seemed like it was just following a rote script for paranormal stories, just drawn out a little bit since the author apparently knew it would be a longer series. So, all the downsides of a commercial paranormal romance without the actual romance conclusion that would save it. All in all, The was WAYYYYY too much forshadowing. Like in an amount that overdid it to the point that I actually don't even care about what she's foreshadowing. And the main character was just too....well, I didn't like her. You can not expect something and be in denial and be feminine and NOT be all pink all the time with matching nails and accessories. She's a parady of a real person. I couldn't take it. Mostly I felt the same about Barrons - a parady of what his character usually is. The death by sex Fae - it was just way over the top. And though I liked the idea of the plot starting with a murdered sister, it was just overly done in the end with the adoption and being raised in an overly stereotyped "provincial" area of the US. All in all, I just didn't care about the characters or the story. I'll not be reading the next ones.
