This is the second in the series with the first being Waking Hours. If you aren't familar with the first one, Tommy is a believer but Dani wasn't. She looks at things from a scientific view point and has trouble with the concepts of faith, grace, etc. Everything that the Christian faith encompasses. They are engaged in a battle of good and evil.

I enjoy the characters of Tommy and Dani, both smart people in their own rights but a few times in this book I didn't think that they used it to their advantage. New characters are brought into play and you slowly see a team being built. Charlie the angel is back for a few scenes.

You get to know Tommy's Aunt Ruth and she is a hoot if you ask me. I love this line that she had in the book: "I'm a research librarian," she said. "And a gun collector. I will do research. And shoot people when asked."

This book really explains a lot about what is going on that you didn't get from the first and lays excellent ground work for the next in the series, Fatal Tide.

The only problem that I had with the book and also with the first one, is that for my taste there are too many medical/scientific terms used that I do not know and in a lot of cases didn't follow too well. I found myself skimming over a couple of pages here and there because of it. Otherwise, a great read that I would recommend.
