I loved Cassie and Walter. The geology was great to read about--I picked up a few facts about gold deposits and historical mining in California.
The pacing was very fast, sometimes too much so. Dialog was occasionally choppy and disjointed as a result. I also would have liked an explanation for why Gail was so crazypants. I don't think we ever got one, and that was kind of weird.
Not a perfect book, but fun and interesting enough to continue reading the series at some point. Wonderful main characters--I'm very interested to read about Walter's mentioned lady friend.
