Three stars do not accurately reflect my feeling/appreciation of this entry in the Jane Yellowrock saga, but more than three stars ignore the many problems that plagued this book. 
 This series has been something of a surprise to me from the beginning, and after reading I am still very impressed with the scope of the plot Ms. Hunter has created. I find myself reading to find out what has happened, which is out of character for me- I usually read to follow a character, not the plot. 
 However, Jane changed in this book- and not for the better. Janie now has a God-complex, blaming herself for any and everything, including not being omniscient. In addition to making Jane sound immensely egotistic (EVERYTHING is my fault) it absolves blame/shifts the focus from the people who are really responsible for all the havoc- like Leo for withholding necessary, crucial information, the other vampires and their cruel practices, and the bad guys for being plain evil. So yes, not focusing on evil and wrong so you can be self-centered is NOT cool. 
 Additionally the 'love' in this book/series squicked me clean out because it is just unhealthy. All of it: Beast's love for just about every XY chromosome Jane sees, Jane's uneven relationship with Rick (along with that fake declaration of love)....don't even get me started on Bruiser! Ugh! After what he did....no. Just no. Leo....ugh! 
 The relationships in this book bugged me to no end, and severely affected my enjoyment. 
 In the end, although I find myself having been impressed by he plot, I feel sad and wanting because my Janie is not there. I miss the severely flawed, cool, sensible character we had and am bewildered by this nincompoop who is severely narcissistic and makes self-confessed "stupid mistakes" all the time. Fail.
