You didn't miss much, I guess :-). They (2 and 3) kind of drag on and on,
with just a little action in the very end :-).

All the books dragged on and on and on and on. It was definitely a read to
find out what happens, not because I care thing. The vampire baby, IMO, was
a horrid idea, I never thought of the child as anything but creepy. To me it
reeked of amateur writing, world building and storytelling on the heels of
one good spark that began the first book. The characters spent so much time
talking about everything and talking and talking and talking and
rationalizing and explaining, it was clear Meyers was having issue buying
her own ideas.

I think three books, 400 pages each would have told the story just fine, I
think the vamp baby with the seven year growth cycle had no rational
explanation except that it promised a solid, happy ending. Once she was
pregnant I rather wanted to toss the book in the garbage and was hoping
she'd die, the end.
