mad_about_books's review against another edition
Although it was my intention to read the first three books in this series in order, I managed to read the third one before the second. As stated in the review area for book one, I will review all of the books when I have read this one.

The Advocate" has been plotting revenge on dog abusers for a long time. Several animal abusers are put to death using the exact tortures that they inflicted on dogs...meticulously recreated (though the story is not gory). The Advocate thinks he is invincible and his standards of what constitutes being worthy of death are becoming broader...accidents count and no attempt is made to establish actual guilt. A quick read that follows Brandon Fisher of the FBI and his team examining many suspects with many reasons for protecting "The Defenseless."
I actually think this needed to be a bit more graphic at times to get across the cruelty and the intense feelings toward that cruelty. The relationship between Brandon and his sort-of girlfriend Paige was a bit flat at times BUT the very last sentence was great for the story.
Prudish Parent Verdict: Most parents would let their child read this one sometime in their high school years.
