This is my least favorite if the series. There wasn't much of a plot line for me to really cling to. There was the ongoing one with Naomi but there wasn't enough structure to that. And then there was the subplot line about the ghosts but that bored me the most. I like that Claire and Shane finally have a bump in the road that she doesn't forgive. I've been waiting for that because Claire was starting to seem desperate to be honest. She clings to this guy who is not a great boyfriend and forgives him at the drop of a hat for horrible actions. She could do better to be honest and I wish that there was someone better for her to be attracted to. While I would live to see her explore a relationship with myrnin, especially after this book, I know it would never work. It might. Hangs him for the better but Claire really needs someone way better than the love interests that she is given. I'm not thrilled with the vampire storyline either. I can see where the series is coming to an end soon.
