The second book in a trilogy that began with Thieves and it suffers a bit from second book syndrome because it needs to set-up the third book. Ella West has to ease things down as the five travellers recover from the action that ended the first book and build-up for the finale.
Nicky, Jake, Shelley, Paul and Tina can all "travel", in other words if they have a point of reference they can go there instantly. They have been exploited by a group called the Project to do some good deeds but also to steal secrets from Companies etc. In Thieves they escaped from the clutches of the Project and in this book they are loose in Los Angeles enjoying freedom and each other. Sooner or later they are going to have to face the Project as they have papers and discs from the last job they did before they escaped. This provides the drama and action in the book and sets up the third book in the trilogy.
You don't have to have read Thieves to enjoy this book but it helps big time. Do yourself a favour and read both. The third book is going to be great. Suitable for Intermediate and High school students.
