All of the books in this series strike a careful balance between the darker subjects and the hopeful lightheartedness of romance, but this one felt maybe a little darker than the others? 

I hadn't quite realized until partway through that each book in the series has involved one of the main characters keeping a big secret from the other. In this case it seems like the secret is actually fairly mild for a change, but everything surrounding it and the other elements of the story and the other struggles of the characters all wrap up into that secret to make it just as suspenseful as the "bigger" ones from the books before.

I appreciated the way the lingering antagonists and of course the looming threat of the pharmaceutical company that preys on vampires were were addressed here, but it doesn't quite feel like an ending. I'm not sure if there is going to be a book 4? If not, this isn't so open ended as to be completely unsatisfying. 

It was delightful to see the main couples from the first two books fold into the plot of this one. There are quite a few other books in this series outside of the main three, and I feel like I should read those because it seems like a lot of the side characters of all the books have their own stories to flesh them out even more. I like this universe and this author, so I'm glad there's more for me to nibble on.
