I liked the way the first book ended - “Go straight,” Nolan said.
The second book starts with waaaaay too much Jon and his rock band. Way too much! Nolan doesn’t enter the story until chapter six. After he does, the survivor of the first book in this collection comes back to haunt Nolan and Jon. And, this being a Nolan book, someone close to him is kidnapped, and he must rescue them.
The first book is better than the second, but both are a decent enough read to pass these remaining days of summer!
