A fun story with likeable characters and lots of action but I ended up getting lost with the plot and that made me lose interest towards the end.
Gemma and Russ just think about things too much. The different groups and their different powers are complicated, and remembering what's happened, who's who, and what everyone is doing is hard enough on its own. Add in Gemma and Russ speculating and thinking about everything everyone says and it's very hard to keep track of what's happened and what they thought might have happened / could happen.
All it really needs is a good editor. There is a decent story here and the characters are interesting and likeable. I really like the way the 'bad' people aren't actually bad - they want something other than violence and evil for the sake of it. They just want different things to the main characters.
The Mentalist is a fun and original series that has masses of potential. I'm very interested to see what the author does next.
