"Tim Downs always has a way of drawing me into his stories. The characters were engaging and the pace kept moving. I came to hate Kemp quickly and only wished Tino could have finished the job. Although this is not a "Bug Man" series, I think most will enjoy the book. " — Shadowrider (4 out of 5 stars)

" Definitely not characteristic of Tim Downs' writing. I was quite disappointed in this book. The characters were not developed well, the story seemed thrown together. If you want to read something good by Tim Downs, go with any Bugman novel or Plague Maker. "
" The only Tim Downs book that I didn't like as much... "
" It was okay...but kind of predictable towards the end. "
" This was a sweet read, but I am ready for some of Nick Polchack's nuttiness. "
" I must admit I like Downs' Bug Man series best! This was a good story, though. "
" Enjoyable, clever, well-written. Will appeal to men and women, I believe. An entertaining piece of fiction writing, good for summer. Would make a good film, I think. Lots of humor in it. "
" It was a little weird, bad character development. "
" While I loved the storyline, I really wished the characters had been more developed. I wanted to know more about each of them. Why they acted the way they did or did the things they did. That's a lot of dids there...LOL. "
" Thanks, Tim, for the advance copy! This story was fun to read; interesting characters...some real schmucks, a sweet little girl, her mother and an angel. The storyline is a hoot and yet thought provoking. I closed the cover with a smile on my face. "
" Tim Downs is an excellent mystery writer but this is my least favorite. Love the Bug Man books!! "
" This book was like a soap opera; you know it's bad, yet it sucks you in and you have to see how it ends and what they will come up with next. "
" Poor writing style, story line weak. Sorry, not impressed. "
