Not a bad book overall, but this series is beginning to wear on me. This book is better than most in that the monster of the week isn't something stupid sounding. It's an ancient automaton.

Where this series begins to wear is the characters. This book is particularly bad about making all of the characters two dimensional. Any character can be described by combining "super bad ass" with a quirk. Niko is a super bad ass who is good at everything. Cal is a super bad ass who can form gates. Rob is a super bad ass who has had sex with everything. etc. Rob's favorite character is also named Rob, and her love of him is rather obvious in this book.

There are no plot twists. There are no big surprises. If you expect it to happen in the first third of the book it will by the end.
