So weird revisiting these lol. This book did not make very much sense, but it was still quick paced and there were things I liked. I would love to know what this story would be like if it had the breathing room of YA lit and could allow for more world building

This book was back to being in Luke's perspective, although Nina did make a cameo appearance. Each book in the series is building towards something and, as result, tends to end on a slightly cliffhanger note. The author does an excellent job of wrapping the story up sufficiently that each book forms a tight episode but leaves enough unresolved to make me eagerly seek out the next book in the series.

Note: The cover on the book I read doesn't match the cover pictured here despite having the same ISBN.

I was able to connect with Luke and Smits in this book, more than I’d connected with Luke in the previous Shadow Children books. All of the mixed allegiances toward the end were confusing but I think they resolved nicely enough.

Second time reading this and I totally forgot that Smits' parents died but I remembered that Smits didn't die. Love this series rn

This one was somewhat confusing because it really stepped up the level of paranoia/you can't trust anything or anyone. No one is safe and it had me questioning the loyalties of everyone that Luke/Lee came into contact with. And the end had me reeling trying to figure out what was really going on. I wish I had the rest of the books to finish out the series because I could read them all in one sitting (since they are kid's books!)
