Meh. I was expecting better, since I know how popular this series is.

Once the author was intentionally vague or misleading about how well Sage could read, I knew the major plot point in the ending. This is surprising, since I am pretty terrible at guessing mysteries.

I did not enjoy this as much as I had hoped. The original Temperance Brennan feels flat to me. I could not bring myself to care much about her and I definitely didn't care about Gabby, who seemed like a flaky annoying friend who didn't give much to the friendship. The attempt at sexual tension with Ryan was awkward and I didn't really see it, it seemed as if she had more going on with Claudel, for all that they couldn't stand each other.

The author really didn't want you like anyone in the Mephisto Club. She succeeded.
