I wanted to love this as much as I liked the previous books in the series but there was just something that annoyed about the characters, Kate especially. I found it very distracting that the only exclamation anyone ever said was "dear god" and Kate seemed to find herself with tears streaming down her face at least once a chapter. I didn't mind the story, though I still don't understand the thing with Eric at the end -- I guess that's the deus ex machina at work. I just found that some of the writing tended to annoy me more than in last books. The series has definitely taken a turn for the dark in this one and I kinda miss the Kate that was killing demons then racing home to cook dinner. I'll be okay if this is the last book in the series but if it's not, I hope the story picks up in Rome and we get some laughs back.
