The plot description is a bit off.

This is the latest development in Gabrielle and Gary's story. Wwe also get more revelations about Teagan, her grandmother Trixie, and the other eight or so ancients holed up at that mysterious monastery.

The rating is not for the writing but the fact that despite yet another batch of ancients coming out of the wood work (well, monastery) at least this time there's a purpose to why they were introduced. The writing itself is "functional" - like CF needed to get this book out of the way "functional" The chapters take up one of the three couples that's the focus of this episode. Even the villains (vampires and the Society) take a back seat to what's revealed by the three story lines - which is really a huge change of pace for CF. However, there's still a number of sex scenes which went on too long (in term of word count). The human lifemates still turn into wimpy, cowering females - though one of them has a very good reason for that.

Anyway, not a keeper for me. But at least THIS book has some redeeming value for the 8 hours I spent reading it. At least there's a glimmer of hope for the ancients at the end of this one.
