While Gemma does show some growth at the end of the book, the plot wasn't as intriguing as in The Dark Lake, and I was a bit tired of Gemma's self-destructive behavior. jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-74381381560248852482018-11-16T14:24:58.124-06:002018-11-16T14:24:58.124-06:00Series can be tricky re: Into the Night.

It is the main character(s) that brings me back. I'll be curious to hear what you think of the third book if you read it.
