I jumped over the 2 books before this one because I got this one at a good deal. It was not bad, kind of par for the course in this series. It had a couple gross scenes in it, and left with a cliff hanger, so of course i went and got the others in the series (well the ones that are on audio, there are 2 more not on audio yet). It was an ok book, but some of the others in the series were better.
