I didn't like this as much as the previous book. Although that just means it was merely good rather than very good.This time around I found Cal's internal voice to be a little tiresome and definitely repetitive. Also, while the previous book had me in tears at the pivotal moment, this one had me shrug and think "Eh, that's a shame". Perhaps I'm the one losing my humanity and becoming less caring and more monstrous.On the plus side, the Panic did amuse me and I liked the back story on Robin Goodfellow. The great things about this series for me are Cal's sarcastic personality and the different supernatural world Thurman has crafted so well. I like that Niko and Cal are each other's only family and that they are close and I enjoy the interactions with Robin and Promise.This book is largely about how close Niko and Cal are. There's a nice little story from their past in the book which Cal thinks shows how much Auphe has always been a part of him but it really just shows how much he loves and is willing to do for his brother. This seemed to be the main message of this book, I thought. There's an surprising new bad guy in Grimm, but I found other parts of this book pretty predictable. I was disappointed in the throw away mention of a character from the first books but there's always the chance more will be made of this in the next book. Promise doesn't feature much in this one and I did feel like it was lacking a little something without her.
What do You think about Doubletake (2012)?
Enjoyed reading the latest installment of the Cal series. Thank you Rob! Keep up the great work~!

Another solid Cal Leandros novel. I like the interactions with the brothers and puck.
