I said about the previous book that it was easy to go through like candy. Well, reading 3 books in this series in a row is making me sick like I've eaten too much candy. Once again Frost feels the need to place her protagonists in contrived situations where they get all hot and bothered over each other in the most eye-rolling places, and it's really getting old. Worse, she manufactures an estrangement built on misunderstanding that is an overused ploy in mediocre romances, which forces the reader to endure both our hero and heroine's broken-hearted suffering and martyrdom (more eye-rolling there). Then she backfills Cat's history by the cheesy ploy of memory-wiping to introduce an new vampire villain who insists that he is Cat's husband as he got to her before Bones did, when she was 16, and now he wants her back. It was getting boring enough for me to rate the book 2 stars, but amazingly enough, she redeems herself by introducing an interesting twist in the story when Cat decides to become a vampire, and then ups the ante by an even more intriguing twist in the end involving her vampire-hating mother. That earns her 2.5 stars, but I may just wait awhile before returning to this series, as I need more substantial fare to sustain me.
