Disappointed a bit in this 3rd outing of the series. It seems everyone was getting on my last nerve. Rachel keeps getting away with crap over and over ad naseum. Greta is a bratty monster when her "daddy" is away. Talbot isn't in the book much. Lisette is too easy to get rid of and she is an Empress and Eric's creator. Eric is smart yet stupid and the forgetfulness is wearing thin. Amazingly, Tabitha is the only one that didn't get on my nerves. She's seemed to smarten up since the last two book ...more

I love this series; it is pure evil mixed with unapologetic fun! This book was an interesting entry into the series and diverted a little from the normal story. We still had alternating chapters from the characters, but this time we were in the head of Greta for a good portion of it while Eric and Tabatha are away.

Eric is a fun character, at times his morals just aren't there, but then in the next step you realize that he does have a defined sense of right or wrong.

Eric is a fun character, at times his morals just aren't there, but then in the next step you realize that he does have a defined sense of right or wrong. He just seems to act on things in a roundabout way. He cares for people too deeply sometimes and it seems like he gets betrayed more than normal. I do think he needs to force Tabitha to go though. He is not good for her and she deserves better. Even though I knew he would do it, I hated the decision he made in the end of the book.

Speaking of Tabitha, she really blew me away in this book with how much she's grown. She is still a bit whiny at times, but she showed so much strength and determination in this book that I can forgive a little whining. She was pretty awesome in her search for Eric and I like that she can talk to John Paul Courtney now. They were pretty awesome together.

I'm so glad Rachel seems to be done for. I really hated her character and the way she used Eric and hurt Tabitha and everyone else around her. Good riddance. I didn't really care for Irene either; she seems completely crazy.

Greta was amazing in this book; she is so gleefully insane. Her actions are really horrible most of the time, but I see it as a tribute to Mr. Lewis that he can make her characters stay so likeable. I really enjoyed learning more about her and the way her mind works. I hope we get to see more of her in the future books. I loved the way Greta and Fang seemed to work together too. Fang understands her in a way no one else can... and that's kind of weird because he's a car, but I'll go with it. I'm interested to see how the events of this book change Fang.

Winter is a crazy good character. What exactly is going on in that devious mind of his? I can't wait to find out more! I hope we get his back story in the next book.

This book completely obliterated the status quo and I am really excited to see how the next book is changed because of it. I think Eric is going to find himself in a lot of situations he didn't plan for and it will be hilarious to see how he handles them. ...more
