Neil...Yes, I'm afraid I have to agree with you. Neill has taken this series to the point of no return, I'm afraid. I did give it three stars (I think), but mostly for old times sake. Truth be told, it's dull, repetitive and downright annoying at times.<br /><br />But I'll still read the next one because there's clearly something wrong with me. <br />Great review!Maja (The Nocturnal Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14276646316400863181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-53608094965528498122013-03-10T23:15:42.211-05:002013-03-10T23:15:42.211-05:00thanks for your review I might pass on getting thi...thanks for your review I might pass on getting this one Kylehttp://blogging-profits-unleashed.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-90809625669310635502013-03-10T22:32:16.846-05:002013-03-10T22:32:16.846-05:00Aw, Rummanah, I hope both of us get around to read...Aw, Rummanah, I hope both of us get around to reading some good books soon. I know if I keep reading bad or so-so books, I eventually fall into a reading slump and I end up becoming even <i>more</i> critical.

I hate when beloved supporting characters take a back seat for a filler book with an unappealing new mystery. This seems to be a given among these epic UF series. There's always at least one dud. <br /><br />Still woefully behind in this series, but I have heard amazing things about House Rules, so hopefully the series will get back on track for you in the next installment.Laurenhttp://www.alicemarvels.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-54424679774131234402013-03-07T21:55:40.616-06:002013-03-07T21:55:40.616-06:00Man you just can't win, can you??

I can't think of many that haven't lost some spark along the way. Sorry to hear this disappointed you! I've only read the first couple of books in this series, but I guess I'm no longer in a hurry to continue. Great review!

I am disappointed to hear that this series is flailing but I can totally see why, if Merit and Ethan are still doing the whole sexual tension thing after six books it would be getting way old. I loved the secondary characters (JEFF). I would be sad if he was mostly absent, too.

I hope you'll stick with it and give House Rules a try Rummanah! No Seth Tate and a return to the Merit/Ethan banter. Win.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.com
