Definitely not the best Virals novel, but still good.

The action in this second opus is a bit over the top. And when I say “a bit”, I kinda mean “a lot”... The whole pirate treasure thing is already a stretch, but the amount of people after them was way too much. Only counting the ones who seriously risked the Virals safety, that’s 5 people. And that doesn’t include other greedy people connected to them. I feel like Reichs over complicated this story for the sake of having more to tell.

Because in the end, this second novel just isn’t all that interesting. There were a few inconsistencies once again blurring the place this series hold in the Temperance Brennan world that could have easily been corrected in editing.

I appreciated the development with Chance and the pack’s powers, which sets the atmosphere for the next books. Apart from that, it’s really not my favourite Virals book.
