This series has really started to take a turn for the very implausible, and I'm really hoping it comes back from this. Obviously, I'm suspending my disbelief when I read these books, but this one was a bit much with the satanism plotline and people jaunting around the world. I just don't think that's really a thing. Anyway, even when the plots are questionable, the characters are generally good, though I felt like Jane and her family had so many random side plots that didn't really seem to matter. I'm curious to see what the rest of the series is like.
Graphic: Death and Murder
Moderate: Child death
