If you are looking for some light, fun reading, then this is the book for you. However, space the books in this series out because reading them right after each other can become tedious.

I enjoy the characters in these series so much, but the storylines are just so weak. The dialog between Thomas and Inez is witty and entertaining, so why can't their story be the same? The author was trying to weave a "mystery" into what are basically light-hearted vampire romances. Stick to the romance because the mystery was flat.

Specifically, when Inez is trying to figure out Marguerites whereabouts. I understand that the number of people in her party seven down to five (oh no, where are the other two people? who are they?) probably matters in the next book. However, the way Inez came up with it and kept repeating in her head like it was so important felt really forced.

I don't like it when authors think the reader is too dumb to draw inferences. We don't need the logic spelled out for us 1,2,3,4. We can get from 1 to 3 especially in these uncomplicated plots.

I wish these books could go back to being light, witty romances. Even the romance in this book was getting boring. Thomas and Inez could have been steamy but their love scenes were dull. Thank goodness for small favors. At least there was not the requisite grocery shopping or clothes shopping scene in this book. News flash! Not all women find shopping fun especially housewives who read this stuff and are forced to go to the grocery store twenty times a week.

I will still keep reading this series even with my critiques because they are light and fun. Sometimes that's exactly what you need.
