First off, if you haven't read the prior installments in the Shadow Force Series, Lie With Me and Promises in the Dark, pick those up before you read In the Air Tonight. The events of In the Air Tonight start a few months after the end of Promises in the Dark, and in between the stories a failed mission has taken place where the Delta Force team lost one of their members. It took me a while to realize that there was a lapse in time, when I first started reading I was thinking, wait, did I miss something in the last book? When I began In the Air Tonight, I was really wondering how Stephanie Tyler was going to pull off bringing paranormal elements to the story (the heroine has psychic ability through touch) when none of the prior installments had anything of this nature. Even though I am a PNR fan, I was thinking, whoa, mid-series game change? However, after reading the book I thought the psychic element was well incorporated and did not devalue the series at all. There were a few elements of the plot I thought less believable, and I didn't think the relationship between the hero and heroine was as well developed as some of the others in the series; however, I still felt that this book was pretty solid. I will definitely continue reading the series, and am looking forward to Night Moves coming out in October.
