This story borrows heavily from knowledge of what went on in the television show, which is actually a really good thing because I was happy to read something that really captured the feeling of the show. In this story the body of Michael's deceased abusive foster father is uncovered while Max and Isabel track down Tess' gene donor. Everyone here is totally in character and I could picture the actors doing their thing while reading the book. It was much like an episode which I would say is set between seasons two and three. One thing I will say is Liz is a lot less irritating in this book than she was in the show which was really very nice. It showed a little of her inner conflict in a much more understandable way than the crazy, angry person she was in the show during that time.

This is an enjoyable tie-in for the television show and I would highly recommend it to any fan who wants to read a bit more of these characters' stories. ( )
