The author wrote this book from so many POVs that you lost a lot of the story from Lydia, the FMC (or even was she in this book?... That's how broken the POV was). Honestly, all you felt was sadness and tragedy from.her the entire time. We wait the whole book for one of the characters to be administered the hyped up drug and nothing at all happens with it.
I'm not sure if in the further books it ties in more of the vampire culture and characters to the wolven side of it, but everything that happened with Xhex's mate was so disconnected from this story. I can glean a bit that the author is trying to set up a connected world, but I don't think it's being done too well.
I wanted something fun and easy sexy, which is why I read book one. There was so much mystery there that I moved onto book two- and it fell incredibly short. It was so many moving pieces, but none of them actually moving along that much on their own, and a big nothing at the end. Not reading book 3.
