This book was definitely much better than the last one, which I was disappointed in (see also here).

The case that Smoky Barrett and her team are working on in this book had me hooked right from the start. It was terror on yet another level I just couldn't fathom to understand. But it had me wanting to read on and on well into the night until I was finished reading it and knew how this book ended.

The characters and relationships unfortunately fell kind of flat in this one. There's not many scenes where there would have been time for relationships to grow or characters to have more depth to them. It just wasn't possible within those few chapters.

Overall, I really enjoyed reading about the case, but it would have been great if the personal lives of Smoky and Co. would have been fleshed out more.
