A solid entry in the Immortal Vagabond Healer series. Immortal Sean Danet can heal others with a touch. He keeps low-profile and doesn't focus on gaining wealth or power.

Unfortunately for him, his unique gifts are tempting to other supernatural beings. A family of shape-shifters wants to include Sean's genes to their genetic pool. Through seduction, force or any other means necessary.

Will you like it? Well...It depends. The focus on small-scale events, simple plot and slightly two-dimensional characters won't appeal to more ambitious readers. But they should appeal to those who seek easy and pleasant entertainment and have nothing against moderately improper banter.

At 223 pages the book can be easily read in one / two sittings.

Spitting Image has all the strengths and weakness of its earlier sibling - Out of Nowhere. It is a fun and short read which is fast paced and has enough action to keep the reader satisfied. But, at the same time, it does not really delve deeper into the mysterious life of the main character or his motivations. There isn't much of a character arc either.

The conclusion is the same as the previous book. Spitting Image is a fun time-filler (on a flight/commute/in a queue etc).
