I found this book to be a slow-starter but about half way through it really took off and became a real page-turner for me. I have read the whole Myron Bolitar series so I was familiar with Mickey from when he was introduced in Live Wire. I enjoyed the interplay between Mickey, Spoon and Ema and found the other teenage characters interesting too. The plot had a few twists and turns which held my interest and the ending was a complete surprise and left me wanting to immediately pick up the next book in the series. Coben's wit and humor was reflected throughout. Mickey reminds me of a young Myron which is probably why their personalities conflict at times. I would highly recommend this series to those who have read the Myron Bolitar series.
