In general, I love the Rachel Morgan series because Rachel is fearless, fun and feisty. This book was kind of lame and Rachel was kind of lame. In fact, it was 500 pages of Rachel feeling sorry for herself. Talk about a Debbie Downer! Books are supposed to be an escape. If I wanted to be around people feeling sorry for themselves, I'd just go to work.
There wasn't a lot of action, there wasn't a lot of character growth. This felt like a typical middle book in a trilogy - the one you don't really like, but need to make your way through to get to the end. With that all said, I still want to know how it ends, so I'll be waiting for book 8. (It doesn't need to get here anytime soon ... I'm a little racheled out.
