The best parts of this series are its drama around Aileen struggling with her nature and the demands of others while trying to live for herself (and sometimes failing), and the emotional baggage of things like her family situations.

Unfortunately, it seems to be doing its level best to kill that part by making Liam some kind of irresistible hunk even though he's an absolute creep. "Mind rape this woman (who, by the way, still had no motivation for what she did) or kill her? I guess we just have to, I certainly couldn't imagine opposing your will. Strip me naked and put yourself in bed with me just after I deal with the trauma of losing my battle to feed and learning my niece is dying? SO HAWT. It's just so magically right to do this!"
Spare me.

This book in particular isn't helped by the climax being so rushed, with a bunch of telling that makes its delivery fall absolutely flat.

She thanks a fae when she shouldn't and it never comes up again so I assume that's just a continuity error, and is it the Blue Pepper or the Blue Pickle? ( )
