Originally read in the 1990s; re-read in November 2007. Aside from the rushed and unsatisfying ending, this is one of my favorite Kinsey books.

This was my favorite the first time I read it. Not sure if it still is, but it's still good.

Another solid entry in the solid yet unremarkable series. The story was decent but by the numbers until the ending which was both cool on a story level and underwhelming on a character level.

I think this one is my favorite so far....although the ending was somewhat clipped. Great characters this time around, and I particularly liked the friendship between Kinsey and Danielle.
**spoiler**
Danielle's sudden death was very sad and we actually saw some emotion from Kinsey here. Unless I missed it, I don't think they really explained her death. Maybe this will come up in the next book?

Ending just kind of fizzled out on what could have been a dynamite story
