I agree that the last part of the book didn't make any sense and was pretty creepy to boot. You're generous with your stars; I wouldn't recommend this one. ]]>

I loved the depiction of turn-of-the-19th century San Francisco in this book. However, I don't understand why no one has mentioned F. Scott Fitzgerald's novella "Curious Case of Benjamin Button" in connection with this book. ]]>
Very reminiscent of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels, but not as good. Elizabeth Phoenix, the protagonist here, has psychic abilities and encounters with beserkers, shape shifters, and the like; but she is almost entirely reactive. For this reason she isn't very interesting and, since her back-story isn't developed, we don't care about her either. In a note to the reader on the back of the book, the author describes the work as "scary an sexy, as well as funny." I have to say that I found this book to be lacking all of these characteristics. ]]>
