Once again I'm going to say this is the best book in the series. The danger and craziness keep escalating, while the relationship between Claire, Shane, Eve and Michael keeps growing. These "kids" have definitely grown up. They are no longer teens and fit squarely in the adult category. Even Claire who is 17 1/2 is an adult. There just isn't anyway you can experience the absolutely insanity in Morganville and still be considered a child.

Anyway, Claire is in serious trouble in this one. Yeah, I know....she's always in trouble but here Amelie actually tortures her. Not in an effort to kill her (at least I don't think so) but in the best interest of the town. Well think about it, if you lock a mad scientist in a room and tell him he can't come out until a certain project is completed, what exactly do you get out of that project? At some point your brain will stop functioning properly and you will do whatever is necessary to get out of that room. Well this is exactly what happens in Morganville, Myrnin (crazy to start with) and Claire need to fix the computer system that holds everyone inside Morganville and erases the memories of anyone authorized to leave town. When people start acting weird and forgetting who they are, Claire realizes something is terribly wrong with the machine. Unfortunately Myrnin is one of the affected and won't let Claire back into the lab to fix the computer. This is a struggle to the death for some of them and pure torture for others.

I truly could not put this book down as the action never let up. It's always one crazy thing after another in Morganville but this really rocked the boat.
