Death of a Pirate King

I enjoyed the first 3 books in this series, but Lanyon really outdid himself with Death of a Pirate King. I think what made this mystery so much more interesting to me is that Jake had a connection to the situation on a personal level through his relationship with Kane. This led to more interaction between Jake and Adrien, which I thought was somewhat lacking in the first 3 books. It also causes Jake's inner conflict with who he is to come to a head. I had trouble putting this one down, and I find that the more I read, the more I love Adrien - everything about him, from his fragility to his smart-ass comments. I want the best for him; he deserves nothing less!
