At this point I am frankly tired. 
 We are - what? - 7 books into a series? And yet we are still making rookie mistakes. Jane and Leo have been working together for 7 books and yet there's still tons of mistrust, hiding info and silly things like that. Of course it will make resolving mysteries more difficult. You would think past difficulties would teach this. Or f you can't trust each other, part ways and find new people to work with. 
 Jane's relationships are a big part of her life and the books and they feature prominently in this book as well. More of the same old nonsense of stupid, contrived, utterly fake song and dance. I for one never really liked Rick or Bruiser- but the turn of events here bamboozled me. If we're saying what Bruiser did (and I regard that as wayyyy worse that whatever Rick has supposedly done in this book) was under compulsion, the same applies here. Rick is under compulsion too, so I don't get why his actions are so unforgivable and Bruiser's aren't, especially since I think Bruiser's former actions don't deserve any forgiveness- ugh! 
 In any case, we're 7 books in- these choices shoulda been made already. ENOUGH of his song and dance. 
 I like Jane; I like this world. But there is no excuse to be floundering this late into a series. Find your footing the heck already! 
 Might read the next book. If there's still more of the same old, might have to give up this series completely. Dammit Ms. Hunter, why at all do you not want Jane to be great? Why?!
