"Olivia Taylor Jones's life has exploded. She's discovered she is not only adopted, but her real parents are convicted serial killers. Fleeing the media frenzy, she took refuge in the oddly secluded town of Cainsville. She has since solved the town's mysteries and finds herself not only the target of its secretive elders but also her stalker ex-fiancé. Visions continue to haunt her: particularly a little blond girl in a green sundress who insists she has an important message for Olivia, one that may help her balance the light and darkness within herself. Death stalks both Olivia and the two men most important to her, as she desperately searches to understand whether ancient scripts are dictating the triangle that connects them. Will darkness prevail, or does Olivia have the power to prevent a tragic fate?"

So I find the overall plot development and progression to be good enough for me to continue to read the series.  However there are a few annoying flaws with the writing.  One of the main characters is written to what the author must believe portrays a brooding and sensitive soul.  However he really comes across as a pouty, childish twit.  The other thing that is annoying is there a few parts of romance/sex plopped down in the book that really don't do much to advance the plot.  If someone is stalking you and threatening your life, perhaps you shouldn't keep taking time out to have sex in dark alleys/forests/abandoned buildings!
