For all my reviews right now I'm just writing up my notes basically as I have too many reviews to write in the next couple of days.

I hate how he's turned on by Crash. Hate it. It feels like he's tempted to cheat even though Jordan says she doesn't see Crash as a threat to Jacob and Vic's relationship.

Vic can be so funny:

"Besides, I didn't actually have any idea what "working out" would entail."

"I was fairly sure that even in my mohawk stage, I’d never been arrogant enough to own a Mac."

I just can't figure out this room they're in. Two rooms were identical, small with one twin bed. They took the allegedly identical rooms directly above them. Somehow in one they fit two full sized beds, a dresser, and a huge crate big enough to fit (view spoiler). My bedroom is decent sized and I wouldn't be able to fit two full sized beds and a huge crate in it and a dresser blocking the window.

The layout of the room doesn't make sense. At one point they were sandwiched between the two beds and the crate and dresser which is against the window. But they have to climb past the crate to go to the bathroom after coming in the door. Then there's a three foot aisle in the middle of the room which is on the other side of the crate from the door and the bed had to be climbed over to get to it. Where the heck is the bathroom.

Wouldn't understand the other astral person's name because the right side (creative side) doesn't work but she recognized Lisa's name?

They wouldn't just happen to have an Astral Projection 101 class starting that very day. Very funny scene though, especially from my perspective as being from Seattle, land of the hippies.

Vic is much nicer and more compassionate in this one. Last book I couldn't understand what Jacob saw in him. I'm still a little unclear but at least I can see it being possible. He said "I love you" to Jake this time and felt the words were inadequate to his feelings. At another point, Jake asks:

"Are you happy?"
"Yeah." The need to kiss him flooded over me, because he shouldn’t have needed to ask me that. He should have known, and if he couldn’t tell that he was everything to me, it was my fault, not his."
That was really sweet. I needed to hear him say that because he didn't in the last book.

He only brought two pairs of pants but they had two heavy checked bags, a suit bag and two cartons? What the hell did they bring?

You can get jet lag with any time zone change. Two hours is significant. There are people who have trouble adjusting to Daylight Savings which is only an hour.

Great plot. Had kept me guessing and was quite creepy in parts. I didn't figure out anything more than a sentence or two before the MCs if that. Except for Dreyfus's talent. I figured that out earlier.

Always ends on a frickin' cliffhanger. ARGH!!

I'm obsessed with io9's True Blood recaps. They're spectacular. Influenced by that, I'm going to come at this Meredith Woerner style. Let's do the Pro/Con:

Con: Barbara, Jacob's sister. You're bitchy. And your kid is a snot. Did diddums just feel an ethereal smack upside the head?

Pro: Vic handling them with the patience of a saint. Yay, precious family time!

Con: Vic's insecurity regarding his physical appearance. Yes, we all go through this at times, but the worries per ...more

I did not enjoy this book as much as the previous one. I understand why Vic is so paranoid, I understand his reasons, his PTSD and everything, so I get why he kept lying to Dreyfuss, again and again. But what I did not understand was, why was lying to his lover, he wasn't simply being evasive, he downright lied to him, time after time, even about stuff that directly affected Jacob himself, and I think Jacob deserved better, especially since his love for Vic is unconditional. And all that lying c ...more

The first time I started this book, I really was not in the mood to read. So I started the story over and can't imagine, how I could have put the book down, in the first place. I love Vic! He is one of my favorite characters! This story has a lot of twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. I don't want to spoil any possible thing, so I won't, I will just tell you, that if you haven't read the PsyCop series, What the hell are you waiting for? Pick it up now!!!
