Bay of sighs

Bay of Sighs suffers from a major case of middle book syndrome - it has neither the novelty of meeting the six main characters nor the satisfaction of the final battle. In fact, very little happens for the first 200 pages, and then a lot of action is packed into the last third. The romance just wasn't my cup of tea - Annika is almost literally a fish out of water, but she is so sweet and pure that she just isn't very interesting. Sawyer is okay but I enjoyed his sparring with Riley more than his pining after Anni. Well, now it's a six month wait until we get immortal Doyle and werewolf Riley's story, and presumably a final victory against The Big Bad. We haven't seen much of a spark between the final two characters, and I look forward to reading how Nora brings them together.
