DNF at page 83. I can't believe this actually got published. By page 83 there was the barest outline of a plot, two unlikeable main characters with unrealistic actions and badly written dialogue (even within a world where dragons are real!), plus the occasional cryptic hint of what has happened to Evangelina since the last book. I am not interested or invested enough to finish this book.

That was a weird book. I liked it, but it doesn't feel like it belongs in this series it all. It isn't young adult, it isn't at all funny, it isn't really about Evangelina, or it isn't from her point of view almost at all anyway. And it isn't about Jennifer. It's barely about dragons. It did keep me turning the page trying to figure out what was going on, and I liked the characters that were in it, but it was a complete departure from the rest of the series. And I didn't like the cliffhanger at the end at all. I don't know. The series definitely needed something to change after the depressing last book, but this was odd.

I have not read any of the other books in this series and I am completely in the dark over some references. I do not know why this is called a Jennifer Scales novel because she only appears in the last chapter.
She is referred to briefly in other chapters but if you cut all of that out the book would not lose the any of the main storyline.
The book is called Evangelina but centres on a local cop called Lue and his initially unwanted partner, Art(a state cop).
these guys are investigating murders
then the FBI arrive in the form of a girl called Mercy
there is lots of running around and a heap of recounts of past activities and everyone is hiding something....
turns out they are all chasing Evangelina, who is Jennifer's sister...
but is she the murderer everyone claims she is? and why is there no description of her?
The bad guys are telling everyone they are the good guys and protecting the population but lines become blurred. You are left felling that everything is upside down.
Partnerships are broken and I was left feeling that I must of missed something important .......
Probably won't try another in this series

Very disappointing, Jennifer and Evangelina were barely in the book. I had to force myself to finish it. The ending was pretty good, but I didn't care for the rest of the book.

I loved the Jennifer Scales series. This continuation of it with Angelina is great. I'm looking forward to more books in this series to entertain me.

Wasn't really my cup of tea. I guess I wanted more humour coming from Mary Janice Davidson.

It was great, but incomplete. I hope there is a final installment to wrap things up for good.
