Great book, lots of mystery and angst ridden action.
Poor Harry got beaten within an inch of his life... forget an inch, half an inch!
I wanted to slap Murphy for not believing him but then I understood her too.
I love the bad guys, they were scary, creepy and great.
Can't help but wonder what'll happen in the next book. ...more
