WORTHLESS - FRUSTRATING - NO ENDING

I loved this books until the very end. in fact as I got near the end I was thinking I could not think of anything wrong with it and would probably rate it 5 of 5 stars (something I rarely do). And then it ended ABRUPTLY.

Silly me, when i pay $7.99 for a mass market paperback I expect to get a complete story. (okay I hate cliff hangers and actively avoid the urban fantasy genre, because of cliff hangers) But Hello! This was a romance genre book...so when the last WORTHLESS - FRUSTRATING - NO ENDING

Silly me, when i pay $7.99 for a mass market paperback I expect to get a complete story. (okay I hate cliff hangers and actively avoid the urban fantasy genre, because of cliff hangers) But Hello! This was a romance genre book...so when the last half of the book the major theme was the mystery of what happened and who did it. This book ended with "you're innocent" come to the house and we'll explain. Absolutely no explanation of who committed the murder or why.

I have no idea how to rate this book. I started it yesterday and ended up reading it straight through (with no sleep) until I finished early this morning. At the moment I want to give it a 1 star. Twenty pages before the ending I was thinking 5 stars.

(1) I expect a book to be a complete story. Beginning , middle, end.
(2) I consider it extortion when an author does not warn the book is a TO-BE-CONTINUED and the book ends, but the reader is forced to buy a second book to find out how the story ends.

I love Lynsay Sand's early books. The last 2 I hated. First book in this series the life mate decided not to be turned and there was no plot. Second book in the rogue hunter series ended with the sister of the main character having a bad turning and you never found out if she was okay or not. Now in the third book I hoped to find out what happened, but it wasn't in this third book. There was a one line sentence that they left town on a trip (to avoid the danger)--BUT no information on if she was okay or not. So what I'm just suppose to rush out and buy the 4th book to find out the end of the story for this book? If the end of the 2nd book was NOT finished in the 3rd book how can I expect the end of the 3rd book to even be in the 4th book?!

I'm really glad I didn't pay money for this book. I got it out of a book swap box. I'd really like to know how Nicholas' story ends, but I'm not willing to spend more money on books by this author considering she does NOT care enough about her readers to give them a complete story!!! ...more

Shelves: romance, suspense, vampire

OMFG. I love THIS book! Nicholas is the MAN! Not to mention a strong vampire to boot! And Jo is so strong in loving him and believing his innocence that she will risk her life on more than one occasion! I think that this book is by far the one that I will re-read. It has equal balance of drama, love, sex, and fighting.
