    " This book was a whole lotta long drawn out nothing. Not much action. Not much to the plot. Not much of anything. There were a few funnies, most of them courtesy of my favorite character Butch. I'm glad that V finally got his head on straight but I think that could have been done in his book rather than this one. I also felt like there were too many things left unresolved at the end. V and his female discussed getting mated officially but they didn't. The whole story line with Xcor and his band of bastards has been left open ended. The part about the detective and his now murdered murderer has been left unresolved. All in all it was a slow read and definitely my least favorite of the series. I have much higher hopes for the next one. "

    " I am a Vishous fan, so I am a bit partial. However, not many Lessers in this one, which was fine with me, guess they are building up someplace. "

    " Payne- her story or lack of her story, mostly pertained to V and Jane. Would have liked more of Payne, V had his book -which in this book, would have answered a lot of questions the first time around. "
