I fall into these books. I enjoy the ensemble cast around Eve. I am drawn to the dark and twisty of the stories and to Eve's personal back story. 
 
Early in in this one I found myself squinting at the page a bit with that feeling that someone else wrote it.  Like....Someone using Eve's voice in a way that .... rubbed me the wrong way. Someone super judgey about adultery.  Not that I'm a fan of adultery but....it takes two to tango and The shitty way Eve and other characters talk about women in this one early on is really odd feeling to me. WTF? 
 
I thought it might come 'round ....due to what happens in the book but .... nope... Eve can feel for the women, but the way they were spoken of earlier is never acknowledged. 
 
Bugs me. 
 
That said, I will return again to this world and these characters.
