I must admit that I liked the mythology woven into the world here. Colonel Kenslir's abilities are intriguing and his backstory is one that I want to hear in its entirety. Flat out, what he can do as a Stone Soldier makes him cool. But he's more than just a Stone Soldier. MORE!On the bad guy front, Kenslir's memory loss made it difficult to figure out who was a good guy and who was a bad guy at first. As he started to remember more and more, things became clear but there was a time when it didn't seem safe to trust ANYONE. I like not knowing which way is up like that.Meanwhile, Jessie and Jimmy's unexpected involvement in this mission adds another level of fun. Well, not fun so much as another level of complication. With them being non-paranormal teen civilians, they're in danger of being seriously injured in the fight against the shapeshifter. Speaking of which, I kind of loved the reasoning behind why the shapeshifter was doing what he/it was doing. I just liked it.Fun with enough twisted mythology to keep things interesting. This book ended with a handful of plot threads that book 2 will undoubtedly pick up. That's right, things happened. And they're going to keep on happening. I like that.-Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal
