Now that the threat of war has passed, Sabina Kane is ready to focus on the future. Her relationship with Adam Lazarus is getting stronger and she's helping her sister, Maisie, overcome the trauma of her captivity in New Orleans. Even Giguhl is managing to stay out of trouble thanks to the arrival of Pussy Willow and his new roller derby team. But as much as Sabina wants to feel hopeful about the future, part of her doesn't trust that peace is possible.

Her suspicions are confirmed when a string of sadistic murders threaten to stall treaty negotiations between the mages and the vampires. Sabina pitches in to find the killer, but her investigation soon leads her down dark paths that have her questioning everyone she thought she could trust. And the closer she gets to the killer, the more Sabina begins to suspect this is one foe she may not be able to kill.

My thoughts:

If I did not like this series I would totally have said the book was meh, and now I wonder, I want to give it a good grade, but I am frustrated.... Still if I did not have book 5 I would have let it go. I would have wanted to read the next just to see even if annoyed me and last but not jumped at it. As it was I DID have book 5 so I DID jump at it. I just wanted to end the series and see what happens. Just get rid of it.

Cos it struggled, nothing happened and it never built up to anything. Book 3 had the same issues, but there is suddenly got so good I could not put it down at the end. Here it just stagnated.

So please let the last book be awesome again, cos else I will be left hanging with the meh feeling and that does not bode well for wanting her new series.

Ok, and I am still disappointed.

Sabina Kane is on the hunt. Her prey: Cain, the father of the vampire race and the one who murdered her family and her friends. Unfortunately, Cain is hunting Sabina, too. The one man who holds the key to defeating Cain is, of course, Abel. A mage with secrets to spare and, hopefully, the power to match it. Unfortunately, for Sabina, he's in Rome and may not want to be found. 

Sabina sets out for Italy with her friends, Giguhl and Adam Lazarus, to track down the only man who can get her the revenge she hungers for. But will he help her or oppose her? And just who is Abel, really? Worst of all, when Sabina figures out the goddess Lilith has a plan for her-she realizes this trip is getting deadlier by the minute. 

As they say: when in Rome-SURVIVE.

My thoughts:

I think one word to sum this up would be disappointment. Sure at times it was a 3 but mostly it was just ok.

I had problems with the dialogue and just general stuff. I mean freaking Lilith! I would expect her not to talk like everyone else, same with Asmodeous. It was all too haha mum and dad in hell. So scary...not!

Sabina, whatever, running around like a headless chicken.

Adam has no balls.

Gighul stopped being funny in book 3.

Even Maisie being dead made me roll my eyes.

I wished I had only gotten book 3 and given up, instead of getting them all and not other books. So now I am angry about that too. I spent money on books that sucked.

So no, I do not recommend this series.
