This book was absolutely awful

You all know the drill. Here's the spoiler-filled list:

-
His spreading of the Bubonic Plague has really worked.

Turns out that Kyle was more effective than the entire plot of the previous book made him out to be! Congrats, Kyle!

- Kyle is a vampire dictator

- This was mentioned in previous books, but expanded here. It turns out that vampires can read minds, but apparently only selectively because they never seem to hear the important stuff. This leads to a lot of unnecessary miscommunication

- Caitlin frequently abandons her wolf puppy, often starving her for possibly several days at a time

- This was a soap opera, with the ex-wife Sarah returning to declare that she and Caleb have a child together. The fact that they are multi-thousand year old vampires doesn't seem to occur to Caitlin as she overreacts about it. She then becomes pregnant with Caleb's child

- Sarah the spiteful ex-wife has a character 180 when she learns of the pregnancy. She dies protecting Caitlin and it is said that they are now best friends, all over the course of like an hour

- There is a bad boy name Cain that Caitlin beats within an inch of his life. Cain quickly disappears from the plot in favor of an instalove bad boy loner type whose name I literally cannot remember. He causes Caitlin to question her feelings for baby daddy Caleb, a truly fruitless effort

- The vampires in this are now elevated from witches to more like angels and demons, with wings and magic swords and everything

- Caitlin's brother Sam (not to be confused with Samantha, Sam's lover, or Caleb's brother Samuel) becomes a vampire. He can shapeshift. He spends the vast majority of the book in rage stupor, becoming BFFs with Kyle

- There is a magic gauntlet with unrivaled power

- Caitlin goes to an island where a band of misfit vampires live. She joins their coven

- Jonah makes a cameo appearance! Forgot about that guy! His dad has the Bubonic Plague

- In a moment of paranoid hysteria, Caitlin murders Caleb, so she goes back in time to save him
