Not as funny and biting as the first one, but I still enjoyed it. I skipped book two and three so I had some guessing to do to figure out what happened where. Can't wait to find a copy of those two.

I had a really hard time reading certain scenes between Gregor (the vampire trying to steal Cat from Bones) because he is such a dirty old man. I literally wanted him destroyed right then and there. What a gross man. The good thing is you get to see how Cat's image of herself has grown since she was a teenager.

In this book both Cat and Bones act high-handed and basically like idiots, so typical but in a sweet good way. I like that they are still working out kinks in their relationship. Add on all the stress they have to face and the lack of sleep (Gregor is kind of the Freddie Grueger of dreams), no wonder they are snippy. So be prepared with a lot of melodramatic scenes between the two.

I read this much quicker than the first book but I think the first book was better. Part of the thing I enjoy about this series is that Cat, Bones, and pals have no problem lying, cheating, and not exactly being "good guys" to get the job done. I do wish some of the side characters were developed a little better. Most of them are too hollow and interchangeable with exception of a few. Overall it was worth the read.
