Re-read: 4/29/13 I still didn't like the way V's HEA was handled. I felt he was ripped off (and not just because of the ghost thing). I wasn't convinced of his relationship with Jane. The insta-love didn't work for me here, like it did with the other books. I didn't think there was much chemistry between them and couldn't understand what V saw in Jane. This book also really brought home how much I dislike Phury.
3.5 stars
I didn't find this book to be as good as the others. I'm disappointed with the ending and I'm still trying work my way around it.
