The Darkly Luminous Fight for Persephone Parker

Oh, my dismay! The first book was so intriguing and full of so much potential. This, however did not propel the story and characters forward at all. It was essentially a re-hash of the first story. The character development was nil, the anachronistic elements were even more glaring and the action was hardly exciting. I wanted to love this story but it just fell so flat.

I wanted development of the other team members that was more than just a pairing-off. Somehow, standing in a circle holding hands and chanting does not make for riveting action. I don't know if the author hadn't planned on writing a follow-up so as a result it was laboured or what occurred. If you like the first book, I suggest you stop while you are ahead and spare yourself this re-telling. If you didn't read the first book, this might be fine as a standalone novel.
