It was interesting getting some detail on the inner workings of the Psy world, through Judd. The political machinations of the Psy Council were fascinating. I like that I am still not quite sure where any of them stand. And on that topic,
And also, Kaleb... *fingers crossed*
That said, the story was as engaging as always. Judd and Brenna were fun - I liked them more than I thought I would, as I honestly had no interest in either from their brief mentions in the other books. Judd had a very satisfying arc in this book. Also, the fact that
But I wish we got more of an update on where things are going with the NetMind - I hope that plot thread isn't disappearing into the ether. And I'd like more Sascha and Lucas...

I am leaning towards the Ghost.That said, the story was as engaging as always.

the first thing he did when he broke his conditioning was have a 5-day sex marathon... *laugh* Such a guy.But I wish we got more of an update on where things are going with the NetMind - I hope that plot thread isn't disappearing into the ether.
