Wow! What a disappointment. I really enjoyed the first book in this series and had high expectations for this one, and it looked like it was going to live up to them early on. About midway through the book, our protagonist, Jacob Burn, starts to ruminate about his relationship with his father and with Emily, his girlfriend that died. I started to get bored. After that, the book started sliding badly, not enough action, plot not really going anywhere, Burn kind of all over the place - I'm leaving, no I'm not, I'm going here, now I'm going there. He shows up at one house randomly, as a result of proximity, which happens to be where a significant character lives.
The plot isn't great and get worse as it goes on. A little too much Burn not making plans but always making the right guesses, outsmarting all these conspirators who've been plotting for years just by being in the right place at the right time and figuring things out. And the ending, quite simply, sucks. Nothing's really resolved and none of it is particularly satisfying.
To be honest, the may I feel about this book right now, two stars is probably generous, but I did enjoy the book in the early going.
