I really wanted to like this one. 
 Problem 1: this book contains one of my least favorites plots ever :(view spoiler)[ the love triangle. (hide spoiler)]For whatever reason, this has never worked for me, I need more something like << I saw him/her, and all the others ceased to exist in my eyes... >> between two characters, even if they have mixed feelings or lots of obstacles in their path. 
 Problem 2: the adventure parts were downsized to the profit of the << romance >> during half of the novel. So not much to save the day for me in this one. 
 Problem 3: here we are with (view spoiler)[two gorgeous males both wanting the same girl, for all the wrong reasons. One because she is the only person he can touch without killing her (not much choice here) and the other, even worse (yes, it's possible), because she used to date his half brother who was daddy's favorite (ewwwwwww). OK, in the second case maybe things are not all what they seem. We know Jack to be oh so devious... (hide spoiler)] 
 Problem 4: more and more, I struggle to like Evie, who seems to be constantly between TSTL and major bitch attacks. But I know she has excuses, so I try. I really do. 
 I'm also not so fond of Jack, and that's because(view spoiler)[ I dislike liars so much... (hide spoiler)] so that one is on me too. 
 The point is, I got annoyed a lot. Maybe I'm just not the right audience for this series. But I will nevertheless buy the next one, no doubt ;) 
 I never thought I would give this kind of rating to my favorite author... 3 stars.
