Query: The story just fell apart

Let me preface my review by saying I really do like Jude Deveraux. I think her historical romances are top notch and her contemporary novels are insightful and real page-turners. Sadly this was not one of her best. I was very intrigued by the story premise of a main charcter with paranormal powers and how she is involved in this witch-coven storyline. Unfortunately, her main charcter Darci was too naive almost for belief. Even if you could move past that (we often do here in the romance genre), the suspense and excitement was ruined by the anticlimactic, disjointed ending. I just don't understand why Jude broke up the most exciting ending by adding an epilogue in the middle of it, then proceeded to kill your interest by having the climax explained by one of the characters rather than by actually describing it. Just weird. Inconsistent and weird. Not to mention frustrating. Could have been a good one - but instead it just fell apart.
