This series would benefit from a better editor.  I know the author knows in her head where we are, but there are frequent, unexplained scene changes without any segue at all.  It is confusing.  One second they are outside talking, then she’s tied to a chair.  Is the chair in the street?!  No, we’re in completely new location without any indication of how we got there.  This happens over and over again.
