The only reason this book is 4 stars is due to the last 100 pages, I flew through them, they had me on the edge in my seat and flipping the pages as quick as I could.
The rest of the story felt slightly sluggish. There was a lot of information that I feel I didn’t completely understand and I was completely confused by trying to remember which biker gang was connected to which.
Overall a good third instalment to the Bones series which has left me with hopes and unanswered questions going into book 4.

I just absolutely love Tempy Brennan as a protagonist. I really feel connected to her quirky, smarty-pants personality as well as her drive and passion for doing the right thing. The plot and antagonist in this third book was unique, however we are only 3 books into the series and I’m starting to worry that Brennan is going to run out of friends and family that she can or cannot “save”. Although plot lines and villains in the first 3/4 of each book have been pretty unique thus far I’m a little disappointed in how predictable and similar the final 1/4 of all 3 of these have been. I’m hopeful that Reichs will leave the pattern behind for book four but we shall see. Also, I’m stating this now, if anything ever happens to Birdie I will probably not be able to continue the series. He is hands down the best character of all.

My favourite book of the series so far!
A light lead. The dark atmosphere is skillfully balanced with well-placed moments of humor.
What particulary stands out is the consistent narrative paste: Unlike the previous books of the series, which started slowly and then picked up towards the finale, it here steadily maintains an enjoyable level. The shorter length really benefits in my view!
