At the end of the first book, I had a lot of unanswered questions about the world and especially Georgina's past. I did learn a bit more about where/when Georgina comes from, but I still want more. And I also learned more about this world - but just enough to add more questions than answers. What continues to befuddle me is how Georgina knows so little about her world. She's hundreds of years old and is just now asking these basic questions?
My other main problem is her relationship with Seth. I like Georgina, I really do. But she is who/what she is, and the result is that she can't give Seth what he deserves. So as much as I would like them to have their HEA, I feel really bad for Seth. Oh - and my only other problem, minor really - there was this drug storyline and Georgina was so angry about it and trying so hard to stop the problem... and then she (1) uses it and (2) cavalierly gives it to someone! Um... what?! It didn't jive for me.
Okay - all my issues aside, I did enjoy the story line. One of her old incubus friends comes to town (oh I'm not a fan of him at all, either btw lol) and he's on a mission to take down the leader of this religious (hate) group. I say (hate) because it's one of those groups that has a thin veil of a message of love and help over their hate speech. And he struggles A LOT to get her to fall prey to him. I enjoyed this story line and it's always good to see someone like that taken down. And the story line with the drugs was actually also very interesting - despite my 1 small qualm - and led to some new understanding about the world.
I am listening to this series, narrated by Elisabeth Rodgers. She does a really good job with the characters, and I think her voice perfectly suits Georgina. I plan to listen to the entire series (at 2x speed), especially if she continues narrating.
