First let me say I loved it. Of course I did. Stoker and Veronica are my very favorite and I enjoy every second I get to spend with them. Second of all, let me say that this is probably the most disturbing book in the series so far. Even Stoker thinks so (evidence by his reaction compared to previous mysteries). It also somehow made it even more poignant and creepy and tense and fascinating. No spoilers, but I was enraptured by what they uncovered and the historical significance and the implications and consequences. I was on my toes the entire time and I loved being so stressed. Also I love the merry group of misfits that Veronica has gathered and I hope she continues to trust and rely on them, because this series has the best characters.

ALSO I was LIVING for Stoker and Veronica's interactions. I have never highlighted so many passages and they way they know and understand and love each other for their true selves had me just swooning!
