A review by kitsuneheart
The Viper's Nest by Peter Lerangis
3.0
The description of this book makes it seem like Dan and Amy's Cahill branch is the main plot of the volume, but it's revealed in just a few lines at the very end. So don't expect this story is going to give you valuable information on the fallout of the discovery. This is more about the events following the death of Irina Spatsky, and the shaping up of the Kabras as the series's main villains.
This time, we get to learn about South Africa, and particularly about Apartheid. And I am so glad that it's Dan whom is into the location, because if he had been running around, complaining about having to learn this stuff...yikes. Not a good message there. Amy takes a bit of a backseat as she deals with her own emotions (and I honestly can't recall the issue), and Nellie seems to waive away notions that she might be some sort of trained agent (though who knows, maybe that's what an agent WOULD do), leaving the women of the story a bit disenfranchised.
Overall, it's an okay addition to the series. It does leave me quite excited for the next book, when the Cahill branch revelation becomes important. I just wish they hadn't used it for so much advertising here.
