Disposal has still follows Geri and Cooper but the Pop travel which gave the series its title is of less concern in this one. The science fiction here is not very prominent, so you can sit back and enjoy more of a thriller than hard sci-fi.

I was never the biggest fan of the main characters and they still haven't really grown on me after this third book. It was a quick read, which was nice.

Thanks to the publisher for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Whew! It has taken me a long time to get to this review because, well, life. But, this was a great read. I have been with the bumbling Cooper since book one in this series, and he is a fun character to spend time with.

In this story, the wonder of teleportation as a world method of travel has worn off. I liked that it was still a key component but by no means the focus. That felt real to me. The family dynamics of characters from past books were very human and flawed, and I loved that there was some mystery behind Geri's reluctance to commit that didn't get explained until later in the book. Can I say enough about the genius inventor Hasan and his lovely Aimee? There would have been no day-saving without these two. Didn't have as much of Dawson in this one, but we definitely had the opportunity to examine the joys (ahem, pitfalls) of impulsive decision making through his son, Jimmy. Great moral lesson there.

So how about that plot? This story didn't let up until the very end. Great tension, constant conflict--from strained relationships to a truly evil villain. A few words on this bad guy, he was BEYOND the caption of "evil," and I had a hard time while reading some of his antics. The story resolution was satisfactory, but left me to conclude we haven't seen the last of this story thread.

Overall, I enjoyed the previous book in the series a little more, but this one wasn't far behind. A solid read, recommended to anyone who loves detective story, family drama, high suspense, evil masterminds, and good guys fighting against impossible odds.

Content warning: Some gore. Drug use. (When you're dealing with a drug lord, that's kind of unavoidable.) Violence. Mild cussing.

Cradle Rock (Beast World #2) by Tara Tyler is a middle grade fantasy book that has a terrific cover that had me right away. The story is pretty cute too. A clash of worlds in which a human boy is tired of being picked on and takes off. He is spotted by beastly creatures who thought humans were extinct. The merging to the two species doesn't go well in town but...you have to read it to find out what happens. It is a cute story but it lacked a lot of depth to the characters. I didn't find them as developed as I wanted, just kind of skimmed the surface. It is a cute story and worth reading. I received a review copy of this book, a review was not required, all opinions are my own.… (mais)

After the pleasant surprise that was the first novel in this series, Pop Travel, I was really looking forward to this book. However, as the story seemed quite finished with the first book, I was wondering what was going to happen in this novel.

Fast forward two years, and meet all the characters from the first book again. This felt a little bit odd at times, because except for some awkwardness between Cooper and Geri, there didn't seem to be much difference in the interactions between the different characters even though they apparently hadn't really stayed in contact for that time.

Which brings me to my biggest problem with the book. It's not uncommon but it manages to annoy me every single time when the main characters seem to be the only people ever to uncover some kind of a big plot/conspiracy, especially so if this happens due to extreme coincidence or sheer luck. I don't read novels like this for their believability of course, but am I to believe that Cooper, who hasn't really achieved a lot in two years time, would just happen to stumble again in 'the case of the century'? And what a luck that Geri was just working this case as well, of all cases.

But when I just put these issues aside I quite enjoyed myself. It was a quick and easy read. Near the end I kind of lost some interest, but it was no chore to finish the book. I would read the next book in the series as well.

Simulation is the second book in the Pop Travel series, after Pop Travel.

Thanks to the publisher for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review during this blog tour!
