I did enjoy this thriller-with-a-supernatural-twist, but ultimately, I was a bit disappointed. Though it is not a direct sequel to his _Straw Man_ trilogy, events and even one character were mentioned, seeming like a rather purposeful red herring tossed out to his own fans, which is a little... well, intentionally rude. The ending was not terribly satisfying either. The beginning, and general premise, was very strong, as well as Marshall's general witty writing style. The idea and resolution just needed a bit more flesh to make this a truly wonderful book. I must admit that it was exciting, and I am still looking forward to the last book that I have purchased by this author (_Bad Things_). I do hope that this one involves a better conclusion, and maybe a different sort of villain...

This was not one of my favorite books. It was a little slow getting started and for me didn't get much better. The last few chapters were a bit more grabbing but not enough to make this one of my better reads.
