Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and Ryu - Jane's bloodsucking boyfriend - can't let a major holiday go by without getting all gratuitous. An overwhelming dose of boyfriend interference and a last-minute ticket to Boston later, and Jane's life is thrown off course.
Ryu's well-intentioned plans create mayhem, and Jane winds up embroiled in an investigation involving a spree of gruesome killings. All the evidence points towards another Halfling, much to Jane's surprise...
It was good, it was just not as good. yes yes you have heard it all before, book 2 syndrome. I kept comparing, and truth be told it was the end in book 1 that made me want more. Sure I want more here, just not buy now more. More like, when I have bought all my awesome books, then maybe. it was still good, just not awesome.
Jane, Jane, dump that guy. Honestly, sure he is hot and good and bed but the things he says sometimes. And the things he lets others get away with. I just could not stand it. Please go for the cute doggie instead.
Anyway, good hunt for the killer, even if Rye, Ruy, oh great I forgot how to spell his name, that guy annoyed me at times. Nothing gets dealt with. I want to see bad guys suffer.
Conclusion:
The series is good, but I need Jane to shape up. Even hot sex is not always worth it.

I am guestblogging today about my fav fictional character :D Stop by
Jane needs to get wise!! I don't care for that cover either!
ReplyDeleteIt's just so bleh. Though my friend who borrowed this book from me liked it more than the US version
DeleteThe vampire was not my favourite either! :)
ReplyDeleteHe is just not...no, not for me
DeleteLoved your review :-) At least there's a cute dog!
ReplyDeleteHe is the best ;)
DeleteI thought this series had cartoon covers?
ReplyDeleteThe US versions has. This is the boring UK
DeleteBummer, I always hate when the second book doesn't match up in expectations.
ReplyDeleteIt just fell short on every front :/
DeleteBook 3 was my favorite of the series! She does shape up a bit but she is still a hot mess!
ReplyDeleteIt's just, i do not have a problem with her and her mess, it's just that I am not that into the stories :/
DeleteAh. Book 2 syndrome. I'm sorry. :( Good luck on number 3!
ReplyDeleteFYI. I removed the silly word verification thingie....lol I hate those things.
DeleteYAY!!!! It drove me crazy today, I had to try 3 times! The sparkly thing these days, it's just impossible
DeleteI just finished a book that had 2nd book syndrome for me. Grrr.
ReplyDeleteGrrr indeed. It's the worst!
DeleteOOO, it's one of those with an annoying guy for a boyfriend ;))) I'm one of those people who haven't read Nicole Peeler yet, maybe someday... and I agree, really boring cover, but I don't like US covers as well.
ReplyDeleteI did not like the US covers at first either, they were so YA and silly. But after looking at this I really like the US ones suddenly
DeleteNice, honest review. I don't like that cover either.
ReplyDeleteIt's just so dull
DeleteI haven't tried Peeler's work yet..sorry it wasn't up to snuff.
ReplyDeleteI so liked book 1 and then this and just meh
DeleteI met Nicole Peeler over the weekend. She is amazing! I still haven't read book two, but I plan to soon.
ReplyDeleteCool! i wish I could have gone too :D
DeleteI have the first book and the 3rd. I haven't read them yet, but hopefully will soon. I'd love to see bad guys suffer too! Darn. Still going to try this one out.
ReplyDeleteYou might like it more. My friend did (she read my book before me ;)
DeleteI'm not a fan of Ryu either - the cute dog is definitely one to go for! :-)
ReplyDeleteHe is the cutest while Ruy..booooooo
Delete*waves feebly and flops on the floor*
ReplyDelete*yawns and waves weakly too*
DeleteOh boring is not good. I don't like the cover either.
ReplyDeleteIt's very meh. Dunno what they were thinking
DeleteThat happens often with me - the second book doesn't always measure up to the first. That's one of the drawbacks in reading more series than standalones, but I do love series books :)
ReplyDeleteTrue, sighs, totally the worst things about a series
DeleteI didn't like the first book and I do not intend to read the second one. Thanks for the review - it made me sure I am right.
ReplyDeleteYou sure are cos if you did not like the first, then no way you are gonna go for this one
DeleteAAah I knew the name but not the cover and it was bothering me, now I know why, it's not the same cover I saw everywhere. A friend recommended to me this series and I think I need to try the first one so I'll see.
ReplyDeleteThe first one was good, and who knows maybe it will get better again
DeleteOh bummer. Sorry you didn't enjoy as much as the first. I had to laugh out at the scene where she got out of the car and slipped though. ;D LOL!
ReplyDeleteLol, yes there were some good things about the book still
DeleteI've read Tempest Rising about a couple of years back... as far as I can remember, I don't think it encouraged me to read book 2 at all...
ReplyDeleteThe thing is the book was good, the end was great. So maybe i just expected too much from book 2 then
