I really wanted to like this book. I loved the Iron fey series. I liked the first two books. Julie Kagawa knows how to captivate. The series in itself was good. A whole new approach to vampires. You know, without glittering. Plus bonus : zombies. But this installment didn't make it for me. I don't know, missing something... I hesitated a lot for my rating. One or two stars? Well I can't say I liked the book so I am sorry to report a one star rating. 
 But no, this one book didn't make it for me. Here are three scenes that keep repeating themselves. They felt like fillers. 
 *** 
 -	This really looks like a trap laid out by Sarren 
 -	Yes but we have to go 
 -	Let's go then 
 Lots of blood. 
 Repeat this scene a lot 
 *** 
 -	Jackal : bickering bickering bickering 
 -	Allie : bickering bickering bickering back 
 -	Kanin : stop it kids 
 Repeat this scene a lot 
 *** 
 -	Are you okay Zeke? 
 -	Yeah yeah 
 -	I am here, just so you know 
 Repeat this scene a lot with different angles 
 But let's be fair. I liked Sarren's evil plots. Those were original. 
 Oh and last bummer : (view spoiler)[ Allie = Master Vampire?! I don't get that. Aren't they supposed to be old and knowledgeable? That stuck in my throat. (hide spoiler)]
