I knew that this book was about the heroine, Millie, being in unrequited love with the hero, her husband Fitz, and that is what had me wanting to read it. But I was not aware that he was going to be in love with another woman. So I'm all WTF, how is this going to resolve satisfactorily? I hope it does, but I'm really skeptical right now.

I am loving the angst coming from Past Millie. It's so good. I'm less impressed with Past Fitz's. Maybe if he spared a thought for Millie, had a little compassion for the fact she had no choice in the matter (he at least had one) then I'd maybe feel bad for his pain. Right now I think he's being an overdramatic dick.

In the present of the story I'm kind of confused at how he seems to want to complete this pact when he's planning what he's planning. How has he not figured Millie out in eight years?

Particularly when we don't get to see justice. And there were so many in this book. It was 568 pages and there was really no forward movement on the story until around page 300. And even then the resolution was left to the last 20 pages. All those words and I didn't get to see anything I wanted to see, and yet she still shoved in that bit of ~it continues~ at the very end. Frankly, if you're writing a book about devil worship and are already at 568, why not go the extra 98 pages? That would have left a lot of room to have a more satisfying climax and wrap-up. At least I really liked the hero and heroine, though there were some things I could do without.

Sometimes Nora can get really, unnecessarily graphic with her violence. It's not typically something that bothers me, but when it involves sexual assault and especially underage kids (and, yes, God damn you, 15 is still a child) it's too much for me. I was fine with the idiot being killed because a) it would shut her the fuck up, and b) she was cannon fodder anyway, that was clearly the point of this random girl's POV. I just didn't need all of what happened at the end of that chapter. Hopefully there'll be no more of that the rest of the book.
