This is a review of the entire series. 
 I have a tendacy of waiting until a series is completely done and then reading all of the books back to back. I just don't have the patience to wait a year to read the next book. 
 I have a hard time with Mac. I started off thinking that she was weak, frivolous, really not much of a lead character. You could see some decent aspects about her but overall I just didn't care much for her. Then around book 3 I started to actually like her. Her character had been growing and I liked the new stronger Mac. 
 I will say that it bothers me when a character isn't trusting of someone that they should be. Maybe I'm naive, maybe I'm more trusting than most people, but I find this with all untrusting characters. Their lack of trust turns me off from them. When it is blatantly obvious that they need to just take a breath and tell someone else what's going on and don't. Mac is that character. 
 Fast forward to late book 4 and book 5 and I found myself not liking Mac again. I found myself comparing Mac to Sita in the Thirst series (by Christopher Pike). Good books, but the hatred and menace (and the fact that a man was writing the roll of a woman) has always struck me as wrong. This was the Mac in these books. 
 Book 5 was probably my absolute least favorite of the series. Yes, I'm very glad that the author wrapped things up, and I enjoyed the larger twists and turns, I felt that this book was just TOO long. I read the first 4 books in less than a day each, yet this book took me 4 days too read. When a book takes me that long to read, it's typically unenjoyable and I am having a hard time working through it. 
 The on again off again Mac and Barrons, while charming at the beginning, was downright annoying by book 5. Their stubbornness was too much. It's one thing to play hard to get, or want the other to make the first move, but when you weep over the one you love's body and they come back from the dead, run to their arms and kiss them for cripe's sake! 
 Overall, I would recommend this series to others, I would just warn them of 1. the annoying amount of sex or sexual induendos and 2. that it takes patience and a will to finish everything that you read to fully enjoy this series.
