Review of 'The dying hours' on 'Goodreads'

After the previous books in this series I was unsurprised at the lack of logic and the implausibility of the plot. The near-death experience at the end was also both predictable and tired. It's not necessary for every book in a series to outdo its predecessors for drama and violence, but sadly the author seems unconvinced.
