Yes, it did take me this long to read this book (in my defense, I've been getting this series from the library and there was a looooong wait list). After the previous book, I was skeptical about St. Vincent, but his transformation was organic and believable. However, I did slightly prefer him in his pre-transformation, full-on rake incarnation. He was...funnier? Wittier? Sexier? Anyway, I enjoyed this, and am getting on the waitlist for the next book in the series (should only be a 6 month wait or so).
