Cat's ghostly Uncle Don tells Cat that her former team members have disappeared. He has had no contact with Tate, Juan, Dave or Cooper in weeks and they are not answering their phones. Cat and Bones approach the new team leader, Madigan, about the situation, but he refuses to cooperate. Knowing Madigan is behind the disappearance of their friends, Cat and Bones are joined by Ian, Spade, Denise, Mencheres and Kira. As they plan to infiltrate a secret government facility, they are shocked to find out what experiments have been taking place in the lab, and the deadly consequences of these experiments.
This is the last book in the Night Huntress series and, unfortunately, the weakest. We still have lots of action in this book which I found entertaining. We still have Cat and Bones. As a couple, they are stronger than ever. But the plot could have been better. It felt like it was a rehash of some scenes in the previous books. It became obvious what was going to happen and how the book would end. And, though I liked seeing some of my favorite characters in the series (Ian, Tate, Spade), many times it felt like a reunion story. I was happy that the Cat & Bones got a happy ending, but the story fell flat for me. My rating: 3.5 Stars.

I am impressed at how much Frost has grown as a writer since the first Cat and Bones book. I loved it and I'm happy it ended on this note. It felt a little more like a short story than a full length novel but things tied up nicely. I wished the group worked together more as a group but other than that it was a good read.
It had been a while since I read a Cat and Bones book so I was ready to jump back into their world. Lots of action and an enjoyable storyline with a couple twists. Decent ending for a wonderful series.
