Rating: 4 out of 5

This book took me a while to really get into it, but that was because there were so many questions in the beginning that bogged down my mind. I loved that the questions were answered and how the book ended up. For once, I figured out what was going to happen.Ajax is a delightful villain. He has motivations, but you really don't figure it all out until close to the end. I loved and disliked that about him. There was so much of me trying to figure him out that I didn't know what to think about him. However, he reminds me a lot of old school Hollywood Dracula. There's a forein-ness to him and everything that happens because of him, you start really rooting for the good guys.Rusty was a pretty cool character. I didn't know what to think about with her at first, but she really grew close to the end. I was confused about her physical features and envisioned her a raven haired woman, not the red head that she was. That might have been because I missed that part of her introduction, though.Reese was the character that I could understand the best. He definitely sounded like the crazy guy that everyone was trying to say he was, but somehow he was still someone I wanted to root for.The overall story was a bit hard to get into, like I said before, but it was still a good book. I didn't want to stop reading, no matter how discouraged I was that answers weren't happening. Then again, that's what made this book interesting. The mystery of figuring out the "why" overpowered most of the story and keeps the reader going
