This books is really two parts. The first is Andrew and Nick, their relationship as Sire and Childe. While I liked Jacob, I like this part the best! The second is Jacob. Year by year starting with his birth ending at 17. I think the connection with Andrew and Nick helped propel this story. Watching them banter, fight and love on each other was every entertaining. I liked that there are 3 different POV, even as Jacob is a child. I have to say when Jacob was 15, was my least favorite chapter. :/I will have to look I tot he next one. I liked this story, though I really wish it had slowed down and focused more on big events. Everything felt like a finger pushing on the fast-forward button. Overall I liked the story and the writing, but the end of the story really took away a lot of my enjoyment.Near the end of the book, there's a 10 page section where suddenly we start snapping back and forth between points of view, so that every 4-5 paragraphs, you have to change to someone else's head. It was incredibly annoying. This 10 page section took away a huge chunk of my enjoyment of this book, especially since it was right at the end of the book, where I was waiting for something big to happen.But something big didn't happen. The story just kind of fizzled out. I expected the demon plot to progress in some way, but nothing happened with it. This was very disappointing since I kept thinking that plot line would ramp up and it only ever danced around on the periphery. Overall, I still liked the story, but I didn't like the structuring of it. Big events were flitted over and dismissed. It really reminded me of a road-trip: you go out expecting to go through a bunch of exciting locations and end up at some great point at the end, but instead all the events were driven through and forgotten, and at the end of the trip, we're just back at home again without ever getting to that big destination. It made for a very disappointing conclusion.
