The Undead Pool

Let's say 2.5 rounded up to 3 stars, because a big part of the reason I didn't love it was because m/f books just can't compare with m/m for me anymore, and I don't want to rate low based on that. Aside from that, though, this series no longer has deliciously evil characters. Trent and Al both used to be bad guys that I liked for that reason. Now they're both pretty tame, especially Trent.

I do like that Ms. Harrison still clearly puts a lot of thought into the plots, even though we're 12 books into the series. I still enjoy reading about the characters, but I want to see more conflict between them like there was earlier in the series, and it looks like we might have that in the next book between Rachel and Al.

Side note: It was a mean trick to play that got my hopes up for a return of my favorite character, Kisten. I cried when he died in book 5, and have never really gotten over that :(
