This is the third (and final?) book in the Curse Workers series. I think I liked this one the best of all. Cassel Sharpe, the rarest kind of curse worker, has been recruited by a special department of the FBI that uses curse workers. Cassel's mother has disappeared after her attempts at stopping the anti-curse worker governor of New Jersey backfires. Lila, the love of Cassel's life, has become a full-time operative in her father's criminal empire. Sam, Cassel's best friend and boarding school roommate is entrenched in his own love troubles. With all this in his life Cassel has to deal with a worker girl/classmate who says she is being blackmailed but is probably working a con, find the Resurrection Diamond that his mother stole from a crime lord, try to get Lila back, help Sam get back together with his girlfriend, and work out how to protect himself against the Feds who have ordered him to participate in a con of their own. He has to accomplish all this while trying not to get kicked out of high school where he has only one demerit left before expulsion. The last part of the story contains quite a few twists, although the very end was pretty much what I thought it would be. The ending leaves an opening for further books if Black decides to expand the beyond a trilogy.
