I was really hesitant to start this book. After the bomb dropped with the ending of Dead, Undead, or Somewhere in Between I didn't know how I would like this book. I had grown fond of the world that Saare built in the first book, and the characters. To go and turn everything upside down is a big risk and I usually find myself not warming up to the changes too well. 
 The Renfield Syndrome starts 101 years in the future in 2112. To everyone else it's been 101 years. To Rhiannon it's only been a few hours. She's been tasked with severing Disco's debt with the demon Zagan before she can go home. Unfortunately for Rhiannon things have changed a lot in 101 years, will she be able to get home? 
 There's so much that happens in this book, I don't want to spoil it for anyone. I will say that reading the first book is a must. Even though this book throws us into a different time and gives different characters so much of what happened in the first book comes back into play in this book, it's important to understand where Rhiannon came from in order to see what the world has truly become. In addition to that I can already see that so much of the actions taken in this book will effect things to come in future books. I mean the next book is called The Ripple Effect. If you've read the first two books you understand the reference and the possible ramifications. 
 I really like Rhiannon's character. She rarely whines and cries about the situations she gets into. Instead she is capable of taking care of herself and defending herself against the odds. She's been through a lot in her past and it looks like her future is going to throw a couple things at her as well, but she remains strong. Oftentimes when I read books where a lot of bad things continually happen to a character with very few spots of lightness I find it a depressing read and it brings me down just a little bit. With this series so far I more admire Rhiannon's strong will. Yes things don't always go as she wants and sometimes people she trusts surprise her in not-so-good ways almost breaking that trust, but she keeps going and for the most part keeps a good attitude. She does what she has to do to take care of herself first. 
 I can't wait to see where Saare takes Rhiannon and Co. Until Then!
