This is another case of wishing I could do half stars. I liked this one and the characters way better than the ones in the last book in the series and genuinely cared about how their souls fared in the battle of good and evil. But it wasn't a four star read.... But I like Veck and Reilly and the story revolving around them, and I think finally Jim is becoming a little more interesting. I've read the others as filler but, this time, I'm looking forward to the next one!
