Books like Inhuman Resources

This book was a bit more procedural-based than action-based compared to the previous two books in the series: I do love the C.S.I. (OSI) evidence and explanations, but I ultimately prefer my urban fantasy to resolve itself through choice and action. The first 2/3 of the book was great, but when Tess goes into a different realm (Lucien's home base) for help and information, there is suddenly several chapters of high fantasy world building. And the world is beautiful. The problem is that nothing really happens. Tess and Lucien get some information and then leave. I really needed them to get into some trouble and fight their way in or out. Instead, it felt like chapters of descriptive scenery. The ending also felt too convenient. Finally, instead of letting Mia and Patrick contribute to the fight as they did in the last book, they ended up just helpless victims. It was much more fun when all the characters were engaged. Still a good book and it doesn't dissuade me from continuing with the series.
