So disappointing, after reading book 3 I'd hoped that the author had wised up and that book 4 would be decent. No such luck, back to the bullshit multiple points of view and crap writing.
Since I don't normally write reviews unless I have something specific to say, here's the break down of how I rate my books...
1 star... This book was bad, so bad I may have given up and skipped to the end. I will avoid this author like the plague in the future.
2 stars... This book was not very good, and I won't be reading any more from the author.
3 stars... This book was ok, but I won't go out of my way to read more, But if I find another book by the author for under a dollar I'd pick it up.
4 stars... I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be on the look out to pick up more from the series/author.
5 stars... I loved this book! It had earned a permanent home in my collection and I'll be picking up the rest of the series and other books from the author ASAP.

This is my favorite book in this series. Olympia is the Enforcer of the City of Washington, DC. Yes, that Olympia. The wife of Phillip II. The mother of Alexander the Great. Most of the time I'd hate this kind of thing, but in this series having famous figures from history works. In this book events in the lives of those historical figures impact current times.
As in most of the books in the series there are two couples, and sometimes more, being followed. And people from the earlier books show up, or get mentioned. I think the fact that the series moves through time and that the lives of previous heros/heroines move through time is one of the reasons it has been a keeper for me.
There are problems in the vampire population of Washington DC and Olympia decides to deal with those problems by making the nests move out. And that starts a lot of additional problems.

The first one-third of the book had me confused. There were too many character names and story scenes (plot threads) to keep straight. I felt as if I was flipping the channel on the TV remote every thirty seconds as I tried to keep track of the plots. Just when I'd get a sense of what was going on with one thread, Sizemore would choppily flip the scene to another thread.
By the time I got through two-thirds of the book, it finally meshed together. But sheeze woman get yourself a better editor!! the structure needs work. The story in and of itself didn't turn out half bad and if you can make it to the end of the book, like me, you might actually enjoy it.
