I had put off reading this book for a long time. It just sat there on my bookshelf wanting to be read. But for some reason I didn't until recently. And now I know why. I hated closing this book because now I will never see Nest Freemark again. I had enjoyed the first two books in this series when I first read them and Nest was someone I could relate to. John Ross was an amazing character because he is so flawed. This book begins with a dream that Ross has about a grim future and a Knight of the Word that is crucified on a cross. It turns out to be him but not really if you read the whole book. Then, we cut to Nest who comes face-to-face with this books enemy, Findo Gask, a demon of unknown and immense power. He is looking for Ross and something Ross has, a Gypsy Morph. Then, Bennett Scott returns and is accompanied by her daughter. That sets off a conflict when Gask finds a way to get to Nest. John Ross finally shows up in Hopewell with a boy, the last tranformation of the gypsy morph (or so we think). Many, things happen, even an investigation of John Ross as a drug dealer. It all culminates with an endgame that leaves everyone involved not the same as before. I'm sorry to see the last of Nest and John. I know I haven't seen the last of Findo Gask. Maybe, not the last of the gypsy morph either (but I'm staying mum about that). Rating: *****
