Where do I start with this one? The first 2 books in the series were 5 stars for me, but this one missed the mark. Firstly, it was a very wishy washy start that seemed directionless and went all over the place. The main plot from the firat book seemed like an afterthought. There were minor character points of view that didn't need to be included. The spice was there if it felt a bit forced. There was a trope introduced in this book that I really don't like, though I was able to overlook it more or less. Things towards the end went fast, more like the author was trying to cram what should have been the main plot into the book to wrap up that loose end. Bliss' character seemed to hit an unfortunate plateau in character development. And then the epilogue... what the hell?! The first epilogue was a nice addition... the second really wrecked the ending of this series for me and took this to a barely 3* read. I'm disappointed overall with this last installment of what was a stellar series. It could have been so much better if there was a clear plan for the plot development, and that also would have made the spice less forced.

Sexy, suspenseful fun. Tangled webs in all sorts of ways. 

Only real negative is the last scene. I'd rather it hadn't happened at the end. I mean, I'd rather it hadn't happened at all, but I suppose that's how she draws us in to the next series...
