trancer21 just posted an awesome review (SPOILERS!! Don't click the link if you are afraid of SPOILERS!!!) of WWBC (with scrolling font, ya'll).
I have run out of words to describe my fucking epic hate-on for Cock Block right now, so I will respond to this entirely in graphics.
THE KILLER IS SOMEONE WHO'S NEVER BEEN INTRODUCED!!! Yep, that's right. It was some dude Ivy burned years ago and has been sitting in jail sight unseen.
Now, why does Rachel get rage against Kisten's killer when Ivy does not? Why is Rachel's love, and need for vengence, for a man she knew for less than a year *greater* than Ivy's love for someone she's known ALMOST ALL HER LIFE!?!
To: Ivy
From: Cock Block
Kisten's killer is killed by Kisten himself! Yep. His love for Rachel is so true, so real that even as a soulless undead vamp, he remembers their love and protects her ONE LAST TIME!!
Hey, did you know Rachel has a ghost in her church? Did you know that ghost has been there for almost a year? Oh and that ghost is a person from her past that Rachel has a DEEP AND MEANINGFUL CONNECTION with? A person that, after 6 books, appr. 2850 paperback pages and 1,000,000 words WE'VE NEVER HEARD ABOUT BEFORE!?!
Finding out Rachel's inspiration/motivation for joining the I.S. is a good thing, finding out 7 books later? Finding out that it's because of a ghost who - was the previous owner of her late father's watch, her first 'good kiss', a witch, involved somehow with Al and, oh yeah, a lifetime member of the 'Coven of Moral and Ethical Standards'...STEPHENIE MEYER SPARKLY-COVERED LLLAAAAMMMMEEEEE!!!
Has it ever been mentioned before that Ivy has a sister? Because I was all 'Erica who in the what now?'
Erica was first mentioned in Book 3. Rachel met her just before she met Skimmer at Ivy's parents house. She's popped up a bit sense then, but always in really small doses, because Ivy's life doesn't matter.
And do Ivy's parents actually have names?
*calms, remembers ... Ivy's life DOESN'T MATTER.*
What I feel at the thought of 6 more books ...

julygreen's comment below that the WWBC story that we've read (or in some cases just bought) is the product that was produced AFTER the editors made their suggestions and demands. Or as julygreen put it "Unless ... they [the editors] did [make suggestions to improve the story], and this is actually the improved version ... ?"
I know that not funny, it's horrifying. But I have to laugh..
... because sometimes words are not enough to fully express my loathing.
