Becoming Predictable

While I am a fan of this series, I wish the protagonist would grow. When I stopped reading a few books back, I left Riley Paige in the same mental space that she is still in, 3 books later...it's a bit of a downer. Yes, some old characters make an appearance (I will always be a fan of Jake), but Riley doesn't change. She continues to go between hot-headed trouble-maker, to down and out depressed, victim. It's not a matter of the writing, though...she is consistent in her psyche. She thinks about the impact her being away from her family has, she feels remorse and guilt, and when given an opportunity to change, she repeatedly doesn't. The author strings along the same routine throughout nearly every book, and I, for one, am ready for a new formula.
