it was ok
bookshelves: fiction, horror

In my opinion this was the weakest book in the series. I HATED Lasher, the immortal idiot who never seems to learn, or care, about his mistakes. And I was still so mad about what Rowan did at the end of the first book that I found it hard to sympathise with what Lasher puts her through (Hard, but not impossible. Rowan has it ROUGH through most of this book). Mona is an odd character, fun to read but difficult for me to like since she skates the fine edge between precocious free-spirit and self-entitled sex addict. There's more history of the Mayfair witches scattered throughout this book; these are usually my favorite parts, but I was so bored or annoyed with the rest of the book that I can't really remember anything else.

I'm glad I read this, but for my money you could get the same effect from reading the first and the last in the trillogy, and just skimming a summary of the second.
