It was fun to read. Non-stop action. A bit far fetched to me, but then I have never been in that situation. That did not take away from the fact that I didn't put it down. Had to look up some of the equipment to see what it looked like. Mr. Murphy did an excellent job here.

Loved the first one why not the second? Besides I felt the second was better, but that is just my opinion. and everyone knows that opinions are like a Holes; everyone has one and most of'm stink! LoL

I was intrigued enough to buy the 2nd book. I'm glad the 2nd book had resultion and didn't just keep going on and on

I read the first one as a free Kindle download, and then bought the 2nd. Probably will read a new one when it comes available.

I've been hearing about this series for months, but I only just got around to reading this first book.  I quite enjoyed it.  The characters were well developed and the premise was interesting.  I did have some issues with the pacing (it seemed like not much happened until near the end), but, overall, it was an entertaining book.

I bought the second book when I bought the first.  That's a good thing, because The Summoning ends with a bit of a cliffhanger and I want to find out what happens next!

...and the first one I've read.  I heard they get increasingly good.  This was entertaining enough that I'm willing to move on to no. 2.  There were a few little inconsistencies that annoyed me, but I'm a picky proofreader and they were very minor and in no way affected the plot. The characters were interesting as was the story and the crime itself.

I didn't read the first book, but this one didn't miss a beat.  I'm glad to have found it on the list and got a chance to read it.  Good start, action logical sequence and good ending.

Similar feeling of the first. A little slow, but still interesting and enjoyable.

The first one was good enough to make me want to buy and read the second. Now I want to buy the third one.

When I read - and reviewed - the first book in this series (Metamorphosis), I said that I liked it well enough as a fun read, but not enough to keep reading in the series.  Well, when it was time to download another book to read, I changed my mind.  I did buy this one, the second in the series.  I still think it's juvenile, I still think the author has a rather objectified view of women, and I still thought it was enjoyable to read anyway.  The only thing that changed is that I now admit I liked it enough to buy into the next book in the series.  I'd rate this with 4 out of 5 stars.

This book started out strong for me, but faded a bit in the second half.  As sequel I guess I started getting the feeling that it was just more of the same by the end.

Our hero is also older in this book than the first, so there is less of the angst of young that plagued the first book.  The writing is also a bit more polished, making this a more of a pleasant read.

Socrates is the character that really made the first book work for me.  He is absent in this book, except as a memory, and I suspect that this might be why this book was not as appealing to me as the first.

Entertainment: 3 stars

Enlightenment: 4 stars

Overall: 3.5 stars

I enjoyed this one almost as much as the first. A little nervousness to read the 3rd one since I've heard some dislike but I will read on since I want to know the end (I skipped past any spoilers when I read the reviews)
