Title: The Dead of Night
Series: Cahills vs. Vespers - 3rd book
Author: Peter Lerangis
Read Before: no
Comments: Carrying on the race against time in order to meet the hostage demands of Vesper One: Amy, Dan, Jake and Atticus have to steal an ancient artifact. It has the usual flaws of the series in that the protagonists, against impossible odds and the fact that no one else before them had found the artifact which wasn’t hidden that well. What keeps you going in this book is that the stakes has been raised, with a hostage targeted for death if Amy and her team fail. Doubt is put into the reader’s mind about Ian’s loyalty. There are multiple subplots happening concurrently which can get messy. While the ending was solid, the first two-thirds of the plot stalls and isn’t that interesting, feeling disjointed with the ending.
Rating: 6/10
