Review: It keeps getting better
Rating: 5 out of 5

This was a disturbing book in many ways.  The first being that Simon Jenner has a sick imagination to come up with gadgets that are ahead of their time, I hope the government doesn't read this book and get any ideas.  The next thing that stuck with me is the villain and the crime.  I like a book where the lines are clearly drawn as to who is on the good/bad side.  We have that in Windal the villain.  He may appear to walk on the up and up to those who don't know him well but he immediately comes off as slimey and psycho to me.  I did not like him at all and could not wait to see how Justice dealt with him.  The most disturbing factor in this book was the "Dark" house where MANY crimes of a sick perverted nature were participated in by officials who tried to keep it covered up.  A couple of reasons this disturbs me, one being that I have a daughter and two, while this was a fictional story, I do not doubt for a moment that this kind of stuff is happening every day under our noses.Jenner takes the relationship of Ethan and Savannah to the next level showing they can go through good and bad times but still come out on top.  I enjoyed the training that Ethan goes through and would be interested in seeing him go through some more.  Jenner also takes Ethan's decision to work for Earthguard to another level by having Johnson have a heart to heart with him forcing Ethan to decide if he is willing to do anything to get the job done.This was a very entertaining book.  It does what a second book is supposed to do.  It answers questions that you are left with in the first, it opens the characters up to the reader a little more and it leaves you with a few different questions you hope are answered in the third.  I don't know what Mr. Jenner's plans are with this series but I hope he knew what he was getting into by introducing these characters to us.  He is stuck with them (Ethan, Savannah and Johnson) and us (his readers) for a while to come.  This is a great new series that should be getting a lot more attention than it does.
