Review: Good writing, mediocre plot
Rating: 3 out of 5

This book seems less about being a great stand alone story, and more of a bridge in the series. There are several elements of the series that develop further, primarily providing more clues to the causes of the shifts, but the events that occur in this book are not themselves terribly interesting or suspenseful.Swartwood's narrative voice is strong and he develops Charlie's character well, but overall there is room for improvement. The vocabulary was somewhat weaker than what I have become accustomed to in a Jeremy Bishop/Jeremy Robinson product, though not terribly so. Additionally, while I am no stranger to profanity, I thought there was an over abundance of it in this case. There were more expletives than were necessary.
