I'm not really sure why I keep reading this series. Yes, this book is a YA series, but that has never stopped me from loving various other series. I think the thing that bugs me the most is that it can be so disjointed. One moment it's elequently written (this is where I presume P.C. is writing) and the next minute someone is calling someone a "do-tard" or talking about how much a gay boy likes Glee (and this is where I presume Kristin writes). 
 I feel like the topic could be fantastic if only the annoying things like those listed above were left out. The concept of this vampire world is so different than the norm with its Goddess worship and rituals that I want to love it, but the childish, idiotic things keep me from doing much more than tolerating it. 
 And I say this like I haven't read all eight books, but I'm a sucker for finishing a series no matter how much I dislike it. 
 I am pleased with the fact that this book, unlike all of the previous books, didn't feel the need to repeat all of the past info. I mean seriously, if you've read eight books you don't need to be told that The Twins 1. aren't really twins and 2. finish each others' sentences. I am very glad that this book strayed away from that. 
 As for the story, I was pretty pleased with it. It was less of a stretch than some of the previous books. Sure I would have liked it to be about twice as thick so they could have told more of the story, but I was very happy with the Stevie Rae and Rephaim storyline, Zoey actually stuck to ONE guy for a change, The Twins weren't so annoying, in fact it was nice to not have them much in the story, and the fights were much better. 
 I enjoyed the last few chapters (w.o. giving spoilers away Neferet's choice and the bit with Heath), they both give something to look forward to. I am not a fan of Heath overall, but I'd like to see where this leads.
