Jack is inadvertently involved in a street brawl caused by a designer "rage" drug, which is being created from the blood of the last surviving Rakesh. There is also a good deal of corporate greed and a little bit of Russian mob psychos too. Good, fast-paced thriller. ( )

A convoluted mish-mash of bad guys, good guys, evil intent, good intent, and an old monster "acquaintence" gives an especially fast 488 pages. ( )

Repairman Jack is a man who has lived without an identity for most of his life. When police and other authorities are no help, people hire Jack. He stops bad guys from doing harm. He doesn't like publicity, so it's word of mouth for people to find him. Junie needs a ride to visit Ifasen, a psychic. Jack and his girlfriend Gia give Junie a ride and sit in on the session. While there, an earthquake happens, centered under the psychic's house. An evil spirit/ghost starts doing damage in the house and scaring people. Ifasen believes other psychics are trying to run him out of town because he took some of their clients. He's been shot at and almost hit by a car. He also believes the spirit/ghost may be a trick by the other psychics. Ifasen hires Jack to stop them. More pieces of the "Otherness" puzzle are given here, but the complete story has yet to be revealed. A good plotline to keep readers coming back for more. ( )

This installment of Repairman Jack lost me in places. Like Legacies, I didn't feel like I got enough of Jack. The other characters took up too much page time and some of the - Nadia, Doug, and Luc - were just so unlikeable that I didn't care if they lived or died. Nadia and Doug weren't evil - just the opposite. They were good - too good, and I kind of wanted them to get eaten. This book's connection to the rest of the series also seems thin. Yeah, a Rakosh is involved, but only peripherally. I'm going to continue with the series, but I hope more of the books are Jack-centric. ( )

Another great novel in the series. ( )
