review 1: I've always liked the short interstitial stuff in these books less than the longer more-involved stories themselves, but this is the first in the series where I really considered just skipping these things to get to the longer stories (or story, in this case). While I am interested in the world and the investigations into the Anomalies they encounter, only my completionist drive gets me to read cutesy LiveJournal entries about the mundane stuff in their lives. I don't follow Facebook entries by real people I *do* care about; why would I care to read similar crap involving fictional people?Frankly this is an area where I feel the new Wildcards books do a much better job than the Shadow Unit ones. There, the inclusion of shorter stories flesh out minor characters in a manner... more that serves the greater plot, rather than distracting from it.
review 2: The story of the Shadow Unit continues in this third volume. Shadow Unit is a FBI procedural told in episodes like a TV show... with a paranormal twist. The FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit hunts the anomaly (humans who have been somehow altered). Most of this one is an on-going story about Chaz, one of the profilers. It is riveting and heartrending. It continues to be told in a mix of stories, journal entries and snippets of character development. This shared world gripping and well told. less
