I really enjoyed the first book in the series but this one was a bit of a disappointment and a struggle to get through. It seemed like it was missing the same drive as the last one. It felt like a book the author wrote because a publisher wanted it and not the author.

Don't read this book if polyamorous vampires aren't your thing or if you're looking for something written by a prude mormons. 
I loved this book. It is amazingly written. I absolutely love the way Butler wrote vampires(Ina). The ending felt unfinished, unfortunately the author passed away before she wrote a sequel.

It took me a moment to adjust the authors writing style but I am glad I stuck with it, the book is fantastic and I look forward to reading the next one.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 2%.
I was listening to it in audiobook form and couldn't stand the voice of the narrator. Nothing wrong with the book might try a physical copy someday.
