Pete and Jack met years ago, and Pete though Jack died on that
faithful night. Pete is now a police officer and looking for a girl
that has been kidnapped. Pete is checking out her leads and one
leads right to the girl. A second girl goes missing and Pete tracks
down her lead from the first case. As Pete walks into the room,
there is Jack alive and a junkie. Pete spends the next couple of
days cleaning Jack up enough to force him to help her find the
girl. When they do find the girl, she is just like the first, blind
and "empty". Three more girls going missing and this pair that
spend 70% of their time fighting each other, and 30% fighting the
creatures coming to kill Jack. Jack is a mage; if these creatures
of all types kill Jack they will get his power. They have three
days to figure it all out. It looks like whatever is taking the
girls is also after Jack. The more time Pete spends with Jack the
more she sees things that she never believed existed. Pete needs to
find out what is happening to the girls, and how she watched Jack
die yet he is still alive. Pete wants to walk away from Jack, but
since that night years ago these two need each other.
It took me awhile to get into this book. I found the first half was
Pete and Jack calling each other names and fighting. There seemed
to be no real progression for quite awhile. The second half was
much better. There was much more insight into what makes each
character tick and wanting to find out more. I am on the fence out
reading the next book in the series. I would like to know more
about the Pete and Jack, but it was so hard to get into this book
will it be the same for the second.
