4.5 stars
Still one of my favorite series. Still eager for more. With so much time since the last book, this took me a while to get back into the swing of things. Once I did though, it all came back, and almost everything I loved about the previous books came through loud and clear.
I loved the spook stuff, as well as the struggles Vic still faces with the drugs and the FPMP. I loved seeing Crash again and getting a glimpse into his new relationship.
One thing I definitely missed, however, was the interactions between Vic and Jacob. While Jacob is present through much of the story, he stayed in the background for the most part. The times he was front and center with Jacob, the strength of their relationship shone. Little things Jacob noticed and helped Vic with, without any prompting from Vic, made me very happy. I really love these guys together, so I really would have liked to see a little more of this.
I still like Lisa and was happy to see her finding a little happiness. I'm not ready for this series to end and am looking forward to the next one.
