Ratings and reviews

Another FANTASTIC installment in the Alex Hunter (Arcadian) series. I'm not much of a reader but I really must say, I wait with bated breath for the next book to come out. Alex and Aimee finally getting back together and the fact that Joshua has a lot going on is awesome. I can't help but wonder though, when will anyone remember how Alex was injured in the first place? I continually find myself sitting stiff and very tense when reading through these stories and often find myself to be exhausted from the effort. This is a good thing however, as I can see and feel and experience everything the characters are experiencing. Greig Beck is definitely a top notch author and these are the best books around these days, for me anyway. Keep up the great work Greig and i can't wait for the next one.

The size of the monster and pace of the action is back to normal. Nine of that draggy stuff here.

Pages don't line up.Text is missing. I've noticed it with other books but it is Fargo frequent in this one. Disappointed as I was reading through the series in order.
