Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan series was my introduction to the Paranormal/Urban Fantasy genre. I loved the first several books, but gradually this series became a real chore to plod through. I kept up because of Kim's promise of a Happily Ever After for Rachel, one that she deserved. HA! Far from it! Reading this book made me want to throw up! Rachel has completely lost her strength of character and is nothing more than a sniveling, hot mess! Being with Trent has made them both mere shadows of the rich characters they were in the beginning of the series. This final book, which I will admit I absolutely could NOT finish, was absolutely awful! Giving this book one star is actually more than it deserved. After five days, I was just over halfway through it. This may not seem bad to some readers, but my history with this series had me reading an entire novel in one 4-5 hour sitting. I had a hard time putting them down, in the past, for even bathroom breaks! With this book, I could put it down and not even think about it, except for the fact that I had to get it back to the library! Kim Harrison has said that she is writing new books with new characters in new worlds, but I will not be following her to these new ventures. I will always appreciate her introduction to these genres, but I have since found many more, much better authors than her.
