Bill, Eric, Alcide, Calvin, Sam and Quinn. There is so many people interested or kissing the heroine that we can barely keep up. I find that it leaves room for closure on certain threads. When you think Bill is ancient history well he is back in the picture. 
 I find all these relationships are filing the book more then the actual plot but the balance is close to what it should be, in my opinion. 
 Oh and can I mention I am team Alcide all the way? Guess that's a dead end though.
