As an avid Shannon Drake fan I was somewhat dissappointed in certain aspects of Deep Midnight. Drake's artful description of Venice and Carnivale is breathtaking and she successfully creates a paranormal storyline, but if you are looking for the passionate and almost obsessive love affairs of the first two books in this series then I am afraid that you will be very dissappointed. Jordan and Ragnor are not shown to be anything near to soul-mates and love doesn't even come into it. In fact, it seems like their relationship has even yet to start. Another dissappointment is the sex scenes. In the past Drake has used her skill to take our breath away, it is not so in this case. So, overall, the storyline was good but was never bulit upon and you are left wondering if they will even end up together or if they will break up next week.
