Strangely enough, most of the book has Vic working for FPMP and I miss the days where he would solves cases and talk to ghosts out at crime scenes.

It makes Vic feel disheartened over the work he’s done for the Fifth Precinct. Vic is starting to learn that some of the people he and Zigler put away are getting out of jail because judges, attorneys, and juries aren’t convinced that psychic abilities are enough to commit people to imprisonment. I wish we got more Carolyn and Crash in this book, but mostly we only see them at the beginning of the book and that was it. It’s a strange scenario, but it works for them. And in a tent in their living room, no less. It appears that several months have passed since that point and we learn that Lisa is now living with Vic and Jacob. The shocker from the end of GhosTV is that Jacob decided to turn in his Ps圜op badge and willingly goes to work for the FPMP. Unfortunately, this is my least favorite of the Ps圜op books and I’ll eagerly await book nine to see what happens next for Vic (book eight, Skin After Skin, is a break from the books and is a story told entirely from Crash’s POV from what I understand). Maybe I just miss the simpler days? Or maybe Vic’s dependence on drugs and his treatment towards Richie are somehow more pronounced in this story than before? I’m not sure. A lot of the events from the previous books lead up to Spook Squad, but when you’re bingeing these books back-to-back like I’m doing right now, the story and execution feels off from the previous Ps圜op books. While Vic has successfully avoided FPMP entanglement for several months, now his debt has finally come due. In fact, he would prefer not to think about the FPMP at all, since he’s owed Director Dreyfuss an exorcism since their private flight to PsyTrain. In his typical restrained fashion, he hasn’t been sharing much about what he actually does behind its vigilantly guarded doors. Once Jacob surrendered his Ps圜op badge, he infiltrated the Federal Psychic Monitoring Program. Although the cannery is huge, it’s grown difficult to avoid the elephant in the room…the elephant with the letters FPMP scrawled on its hide. He goes to great lengths to maintain a harmonious home with his partner, Jacob.
