Loved the story, loved the plot and this series in general. 
 Ok , so here's the deal with the elliptical references because some of you have asked. I am a reformed junk-aholic,food addict, exercise avoider, excuse maker for not doing what I know I should to take care of myself. There I said it. I started running after my second child when my weight soared to over 200#. I needed something to keep my going on my elliptical machine when I couldn't get outside and run. TV and music didn't cut it for me while staring at 4 creamy white walls and wondering when I can stop and eat some more. So I grade/rate books based on how well they grab my attention and keep me going on that darn machine, which is a pretty good indicator of how good and enticing the story is. This is about the only time I have to read so I want to make the most of it. 
 This series has some fall off the elliptical machine moments (ie, those moments that make staying on the machine fly by and wish I had more), especially in Twice Bitten when Ethan tells Merit "In my very, very long life, I need you more than I have ever needed anything.." I quiver thinking about it now. 
 Now, the latest book, Hard Bitten, made me throw the kindle at the wall mad. I cannot believe I fell for it again, you'd think I'd learn from KMM's Fever Series. I just have to remind myself, all that's dead doesnt stay that way...stay tuned
