As the series continues, it descends into nothing happening. Entire chapters (from both pov) are devoted to Tori and Dirk not communicating. Tori’s inner monologue is growing wearisome as she rehashes her tension with her family, and with the slayers, and nothing happens. I like these characters well enough, but not nearly enough to sit through chapters of nothing but repeated internal monologue and unnecessary angst.
Also, you’d think the prologue would set the course for the focus or tone of the book. It worked last time with Dirk’s mom. But this time there’s like one scene about Bess and being safe and that's it.
It gets a half star bump for providing dual endings where she ends up with each of the guys. I found the first one more realistic but have to kind of admire her for making the second one reasonably legitimate and going to the effort of providing it for readers.
