Review: Good, but not as good as the other books.
Rating: 3 out of 5

As some have mentioned, while I gave all 8 of the other books 5 stars, this one did not compare.It felt a bit like the author is getting tired of writing in this series and was just rushing to finish this one and get paid.It seemed like there was less thought put into this one.While the other books were stories in their own right, this one did feel like half of a story.More importantly, one of the good things about the series has been fairly believable characters and when there is a bad guy, he's following orders or has motivations you can understand. In this book we're introduced to Stockton who is an arch-type evil villain just because he needs a foil and not because they have any kind of realistic or believable motivation.I hope this does not signal the end of this series but I'm pretty sure we're not going to see more than one more book as a half-hearted attempt to wrap things up. In any case, it was a fun series that I recommend reading so you can't blame the author for getting tired of it.
