Better than the first

This story was better than the first but I didn't care for the end. I also don't like Phoebe much. I don't know why, she is a kick ass main female character with a soft heart for those she cares about. She is loyal and likes to do the right things. I still couldn't warm to her. I don't mind that she hates vampires, she is a vampire hunter after all but the fact that she is always jumping to conclusions about Allcot is a bit annoying. Allcot isn't good but from what I have read in these two books, he is not evil either. Phoebe never even considers other possible options if something points towards Allcot being bad. I don't like such a linear approach from main characters as it makes for boring and flat stories. Look at all possible angles and then make a decision, it might still be the same decision but at least show us the workings.

Spoiler alert:

I also took issue with the end. Seth said that he tried to warn and explain things to Phoebe but he didn't until it was too late. She is his sister, he was very close to her until one day he disappeared. Then when she found him and rescued him, he said some cryptic words to her and then vanished. She was bound to come after him. Any one would, Seth not properly explaining things to Phoebe and warning her doesn't set right and seems like just a ploy to move the story forward. The end also feels quite tangential to the whole story. It just doesn't fit.

I won't be listening to any more stories in this series.
