In a city at peace, balance means war.
Freshly certified for forensics, Alan is ready to do something meaningful with his photography. He’s teamed up with his friend Jessie on the police force, and not a moment too soon. A serial killer seems to be copying the infamous Metro Ghoul. Lives hang in the balance, and the killer may be more than the police can handle without some help from the shadows.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 42
The islands of Caldera are a shining jewel in a rather bleak world. A terrible calamity in the past had blanketed much of the world with a toxic "fug". Those who survived were forced to take to the mountains and the skies in wondrous airships. Life has since been a struggle, with only the most ruthless and crafty able to survive. To spare themselves the same fate, the Calderans erected a battery of guns to fend off the airships of the mainland. They isolated themselves from the madness of the world, choosing instead to focus on the pursuits of art and creativity.

Reports to write, forms to fill, coffee to drink, leads to run down. Gus’s life was a tedium and boredom he’d grown comfortable with. One that he sought out after he’d come back from his tour of duty. A detective in the paranormal investigations department. A job he could work day in and day out in relative peace. One cold and forgotten cup of coffee at a time. It was an environment that made some sense to him. At least in comparison to civilian life where almost nothing did. On top of that, it gave him a chance to hide what he was from the rest of the world.

FBI Special Agent Zoe Prime suffers from a rare condition that also gives her a unique talent - she views the world through a lens of numbers. The numbers torment her, make her unable to relate to people, and give her a failed romantic life - yet they also allow her to see patterns that no other FBI agent can see. Zoe keeps her condition a secret, ashamed, in fear her colleagues may find out. Yet when a serial killer strikes across the Midwest, strangling women in remote places and seemingly at random, Zoe, for the first time, is stumped.

I need the fourth book!
The narration was phenomenal. Lallo killed it with the third book!
Alan is adjusting to his new job with the police force and, of course, Blot is right there with him... swiping things and memorizing passwords. The dynamic between Blot and Alan is brilliant.
No spoilers.
The prison threat has barely ended and Alan and Blot are back at it again. No where is safe, and enemies and frenemies surround them. Book three pushes Alan’s physical and mental strength to the limits. Alan is a forensic photographer, and that introduces crime scenes into the story (blood, violence, and tragic character backstories)
Alan and Blot learn new things about the supernatural world, but with new knowledge come new challenges. This story world has a lot of depth and complexity.
We learn more about Alan, Jessie, Blot, the white-suits, and so much more. There are some big reveals in this book. Lallo addresses Jessie seeing a Shade (at the end of book two), and that leads to new story elements.
I enjoyed the introduction of mystical elements and the new characters. Gladys is my favorite character in book three. I hope to see her in later books.
Again, you won't be disappointed!
