New step-siblings Q (short for Quest) and Angela continue to trail a ghost terrorist cell along with SOS, a team made up mostly of retired operatives from the CIA and other organizations. Angela's mother is climbing her way toward the top of the ghost cell, but the danger is getting higher all the time. Meanwhile, something strange is going on with Boone, and is Q's dad friend or foe?

Here we have part 4 of the series-long story, the kind of series that you really need to start from the beginning. This is the first book that is co-written by another author, but it's not super noticeable to me. Though I will say that this is the first book that starts with a list of all of the characters and a recap of past events, which my aging memory appreciated. Overall, though, it doesn't feel particularly new. None of the questions from the last book are answered and are really only muddied more. The characters gain a very small amount of ground, and some of the plot points feel like a rehash.

There's still a lot of action, and I like the way that the series moves around the country to different major locations. I think there are some discrepancies regarding the relative placements of the Alamo Plaza and the San Fernando Cathedral, an area I've studied recently for my job (https://www.getbeyondthewalls.com/), so that brought me out of the story a little. However, I'm still really interested in seeing where the rest of this series goes. ( )

The story line in this book drags a little bit, compared to the first ones, maybe because of the POV changes? Q still gets to narrate in 1st person, but everyone else (and it really seems like just about EVERYONE) is given a turn for their part to be told in 3rd person. The first couple of books were almost exclusively from Q’s point of view with short “asides” in different font to show what was happening wherever Q wasn’t. That stopped in the 3rd book, when the action seemed to split into too many arenas to continue with this format. I guess I understand why they made the changes, but it does make things a little bit clunky, tho once you get used to it, it’s not too hard to follow.

The action definitely amps up as far as what the kids are exposed to - drugged and kidnapped at gunpoint, being told you’re expendable and going to be disposed of, being shot at while traveling at high speed down the highway - somehow Q and Angela seem to be able to keep their heads (mostly) and play an important role in taking out the bad guys in this installment of our story.

Fresh off a "too close" encounter with the terrorist group, the Ghost Cell, in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Q and Angela head to San Antonio, Texas. As their parents' band, Match, prepares for a concert at the Alamo, the two discover that the Ghost Cell has its tentacles everywhere, including the Lone Star State. With each passing hour, Q and Angela uncover more clues and discover more leads. And the mysterious Boone and his SOS group leave them with more questions than answers, for there is much more to Boone than meets the eye. With time running out to stop another Ghost Cell attack, Angela and Q and the others begin to wonder. Are they following the Ghost Cell or is the Ghost Cell following them? ( )
