Double Cross by Carolyn Crane
4.0
I read the first book in the Disillusionists Trilogy about 4 months ago and was not impressed. Lately I have seen really good reviews for Double Cross and decided to give it a try. I am so glad that I did. Double Cross was full twists and turns, and I don't want to spoil anything but the ending guarantees I will read the last book in this series.
****************************** SPOILERS ******************************
Justine is continuing her unhealthy relationship with Otto. She continually says things suggesting that she isn't good enough for him. I hate that attitude from her. Three men are targeting, and killing highcaps at random. Of course Packard and his team are out to find the culprits. Avery, a paranoid shop owner, is responsible for making glasses that not only allow you to see the highcaps, but to protect you from any of their tricks. Justine finds out who these men are by revisiting a dream of Packards thanks to Evi. She is a dream invader who has been wrongly imprisoned by Otto. Simon and Justine find this out and after rescuing her, release her from her prison. With the help of Packard, Justine is also able to locate and release Otto from his kidnappers. Lots of things go on during all of this, but just at the end Justine realizes how much she cares for Packard and decides to run away with him. While telling Otto bye, he shoots Avery but then has her mind revised to believe that Packard did it. Crazy!! She feels like something is wrong, and everytime she thinks of that day, she gets a pain in her head. Hopefully Packard can save the day in the next book.
