Sinister Games

I'm enjoying the story, however the books don't seem to have their own plot or theme. It's more like it's one long book and is just being broken up at random spots. It's hard to explain, but I've read tons of series, and this one more than any other gives me this sense that they're just incomplete parts of a whole.

I think the writing could be better; it could definitely use another round of edits. Also, it bugs me that the children all talk like Gollum.

I'm going to have to read the next book when it comes out before I decide whether there are plot holes and figure out how I feel about Maddox and Vincent's relationship, as it were. I do love how dark and disturbing it is, though.
