I liked this book, but I still feel like it's a little bit unfinished, somehow I don't think that the feud between the brotherhood and the dark ones is over just yet, and there's still a couple of loose ends in this whole Ilargi business. I hope the next book is the third part of this, even if this book almost feels like the end of this story. At least this time I feel like I can stop reading this story and move on to something else...Even if the mystery of who the Ilargi is, is still rubbing the part of my mind that loves murder mysteries the wrong way!if anything else this book makes me want to read more of this series, this isn't one more "standalone" book set in this world where vampires existe (and are so few that we keep running into Christian and his friends). this is part of a story that is starting to tie the books. Even if the next book is about some other Beloved I'm willing to bet that Pia taking over the Brotherhood is going to have ripple effects on the Dark Ones... And that means we are going to hear more about her, even if only in passing, through other characters. DNF. It is so rare that I don't finish a book.I've been increasingly disenchanted with this series anyway. The broad vocabulary and wonderfully snarky humor present in the first 1/3 of book 1 had me holding strong to the mistaken impression that these were, well, more than classically stupid romance novels.Shame on me for taking this long to concede the apparent.Clearly, there were elements in the writing that kept giving me hope for a greater reading experience in the Next book. I think, fundamentally, the kind of woman this author wants to be when she grows up and some of the traits she respects are traits I, personally, specifically do not in the woman I grow up to be. Different strokes for different folks. And thus, no mas para me.
Do You like book Crouching Vampire, Hidden Fang (2009)?
Exactly what you would expect from Kate. Amusing sizzling chick lit with no pretensions.
