I am not sure how I feel about this book. On the one hand, I adored the New Orleans setting and think the author did a fantastic job of giving us a feel for the city and its' history. I also enjoyed the plot (for the most part). That said, it also had a few pretty big issues. I found the first half (maybe more) slow. It took way too long for these three to get together. On top of that, the plot had some pretty big holes to it and felt quite underdeveloped.
The book was a relatively quick read, so I expected the relationship to move forward a little faster. And speaking of relationships, none of them jelled for me here. Law and Trevor are a couple, but they have an open relationship? Law feeds on other people because Trevor isn't enough? Is that going to continue now that they have Lily? Who knows, as it is never brought up. On top of that, who waxes poetic about a dead love three seconds after you just had sex with your current attachments? Law does apparently. I just never felt a real connection between any of these characters. Even the sex scenes were not that hot for a menage book.
Last, the ending of this one was SO frigging rushed. All the action takes place in the last two or three chapters and everything is resolved so easily. So yea, a little bit of a mixed bag. It probably sounds like I hated it, but I didn't. It was really thanks to the setting that I kept reading.
