Poison Fruit

oh wow. again with the odd pacing, with a smaller-scale subplot resolved early before moving on to the BIG PLOT. But what an amazing BIG PLOT! If you didn't have tears in your eyes at some point in the last 100 pages, I'd question your humanity. Excellent!

This one just made me mad.

Yes, there was some very good character development. Some of the backup stories that we've been waiting 3 books to get resolved, gets resolved. There's even a great, epic climactic battle. Daisy gets to be kick-ass on more than one occasion.

But...but...but. It started with her being terrible, careless and incompetent.

And even then, I'm getting ahead of myself. Things start off with Daisy and her closeted werewolf partner, Cody, investigating what seems like a pretty run of the mill case (from the point of view of the reader, not the people being terrorized by the supernatural person). While they're moving on that, there's some follow-up on the events of the last book – namely a class action lawsuit against the local governments due to the pain and suffering that the bystanders and spectators weren't protected from.

...at this point, I just go into a spoiler-y rant, go check it out at my Irresponsible Reader blog if you want.

I was initially disappointed to find out that this would be the end of this series, but now I'm absolutely okay with that.
