Man that was a struggle to get through. The most boring and predictable couple since they had no real obstacles to their being in a relationship. The fight against Nerezza was very short and sweet both times because the main characters were either out of it or not there for most of it. So as a reader we got to hear about it after the fact. bleh

Things are heating up. Lots of secrets finally revealed here and Nick is coming into his own. I'm also starting to get a hang on all these back stories and their connections to each other. But Thorn is still a mystery.

Meh. I just don't care anymore after the reveal in the beginning.

Twas good. Not my fave in the series but good. It was interesting and random so felt sort of like a filler episode in a TV series. The explanation for how the new tri-city dynamic was set up was very helpful. The entire story shows how things should work now. In fact, I think that's literally the point of this book. Mercy gets kidnapped so that other supernatural beings and us the readers can see how the partnership with Adam as leader and protector of the humans, will work. And how everyone else connected or adjacent to it will respond as well. The little Bran twist at the end was funny. Mercy's side of things beyond being a plot device is just Mercy being Mercy finding random trouble wherever she goes. She dies wind up exploring and learning a bit more about her powers though. We get to meet Marcilia's sire whose been mentioned before so that was interesting. But yeah, not a book necessary to the series. One could skip this and still know what's going on in the next one.

One of the better ones of this series. The little twist at the end was heart wrenching but appreciated since it was obvious who the main killer was.

This is a really good self help book. Well written mostly relatable author, relevant anecdotes, lots of quotes, freebies and most importantly actionable steps to take.

I actually did not finish this. It wasn't bad, just not my cup of tea. It was all good until I got to the

zombies

early on and I lost all interest, lol.
