"Repairman Jack continues his battle against "The Otherness" in this novel-- this time he battles an unknown force and a ring of "immortals". You learn more about Jack's past in this novel. You also see him develop as a character when Abe tells him he's "gotten soft"... but to find out why, you'd have to read the book.
This book was a little difficult to stomach. I think it was the little plot development with Gia that I didn't like because I feel it's an over-used plot device... though, my disdain also could have been the mention of murdered children. The novel doesn't talk about the actual killings but once towards the end of the novel; and you're gradually eased into it little by little. If you're squeamish about the mention of murdered children, I'd skip this one... or maybe try to skip those basement paragraphs. Though, as usual, Jack does make the punishment fit the crime. The question is, does Jack come out alright in the end?
The way he played some mediums felt like a chapter in a Houdini Biography... but that's not all Jack Magic has to conquer this time. He also battles a ghost and a ring of "immortals" who require a yearly sacrifice.
I wasn't happy with the ending, but this book was a stepping stone for the series as it did contain a lot of things that move the underlying story of "Otherness" forward another inch or twelve. For me, the second half of the novel drug onward... but it's still Repairman Jack and I still want to know what the future holds for him."
