The first book in the series was free and the concept sounded interesting enough. After reading the first book I was curious to see what else happened and bought the last three books hoping to find some satisfaction in the story and ending.....
I enjoyed this one more because Cora finally made a decision. The first half was filled with her usual "do I or don't I?" inner monologue that tends to get tedious after a while but it appears she may have finally snapped out of it! I have high hopes for the continuation of Cora's story :)
So many questions left unanswered and I really want the author to bring Elise back in another series. 
I thought it was fairly decent and would consider it a 3.5. I never liked Van Helsing or the rest of the men with their self-righteous attitudes but I had high hopes for Mina and Dracula... He deserved to win this time as odd as it may sound. The end was a disappointment and the perspective it ended with was more annoying than anything. Almost as if a third book could be written but by that point Mina would be old and withered and frankly any story with Dracula would not be the same without her.

I missed Mercy and sadly this book just didn't do it for me. The whole Christy situation just irritated me to the point of not wanting to read it. The way the pack treats Mercy after everything she has done is just as bad. I swear if there isn't an improvement in how they treat her after what happened at the end of this book I may never read another Mercy Thompson novel. 
I enjoyed the book and I am looking forward to the next. Hopefully the next book will shed some light on why Ron is so accepting of Maura's afflictions but I am more interested in how she will develop/mature into her condition. The part of me that cannot stand bitches hopes that Daddy Dearest or even Maura gives Katie and her gang what they deserve. I'm also curious if Maura's mom was under some kind of compulsion all this time given how often the misty/dreamy eye topic came up.
So it's no secret that Elise is my favorite character but so far this series keeps portraying the person who should be the most powerful as some weak thing and now James wants to be the next God... Seriously?
