Review
What I liked about this book:
The suspense! Mr. James knows how to keep you on the edge of your seat. The buildup, in certain parts of the book, was amazing.
Jevin Banks is a magician. It’s such an original concept and I’m so glad that his tricks take center stage a couple of times in this book. Unlike in the first novel, Jevin Banks actually performs in Vegas.
This may sound more complicated, but I liked that Jevin Banks doesn’t quiet play detective, and yet he does. He’s not quite as smooth as Patrick Bowers (I can’t help but compare!) and that’s perfect, because he’s not a detective.
The creepy, scary bad guys. No one does it quite like Steven James.
Charlene. There’s a bit more weight on the romance. Oh. Yes.
Spiritually, it is God’s love that separates from evil. Without Him, we are predisposed to do anything.
What I didn’t like:
Research. It felt like a lot of research was done in this book and with good reason. However, I found myself not as interested in the scientific explanations for things.
It seemed a bit too convenient that every time there was something Jevin didn’t know, one of the six people around him did know the answer. They just had it like that.
Teaching. There were moments when I felt like someone was trying to get a point across that often had very little to do with the mystery and very much to do with, um, for example, homeschooling. Yes Fiona and your four children. I’m looking at you.
Overall, a very interesting read that will have you thinking. Though it probably wasn’t my favorite Steven James novel, if you have read his other books and liked them, you will like this one.
Romantic scale: 6.5
**I received this novel from Netgalley. My opinion was not affected in any way.**
