“This installment is a mixed bag. On the one hand, the plot is predictable but it is nevertheless entertaining with some compelling symbolism and interesting character development. On the other hand, the juvenile dialogue and immature behavior still grates on the nerves and Merit really needs to be more kick-ass.

The story revolves around Merit's investigation into several supernatural disasters and the ultimate explanation, while obvious to anyone paying attention, is nonetheless a very brave choice by the author and one that appealed to me.

In terms of the characters, Merit finally seems to come into her own as an individual now that Ethan is no longer in the picture. That isn't to say that Ethan wasn't missed. Jonah makes a very swoon-worthy new partner to Merit but it is obvious that he is competing against Ethan's memory for most of the book so I tried really hard not to get too attached. Catcher and Mallory are their usual obnoxious selves and Merit seriously needs to put them both in their place. The most disappointing character, however, is Malik who demonstrates absolutely no leadership skills and allows the slimy GP representative to walk all over the vampires he is supposed to protect.

The best aspects of the book are the introduction of various new magical species such as the nymphs, the Siren and the fae, the historical background on the conflict between the vampires and the Order as well as the symbolism surrounding the elemental struggle between good and evil. These all work together to form a solid foundation for something new and exciting, and I look forward to seeing where Neill takes this story arc. ”
