As book three in a complicated trilogy, Cathy's Ring is like a series of inside jokes among friends that outsiders will never understand. The authors make a feeble attempt to explain the basics of the story, but characters and situations creep up that are impossible to comprehend without having read the previous two books. Figuring out how the characters relate to one another is too challenging at times to enjoy the action-packed thriller this book is intended to be. In the confusing plot, Cathy is being targeted by a group of professional killers who work for Ancestor Lu, who wants the anti-immortality serum that Cathy stole. Cathy is dealing with her immortal father and boyfriend while she grows older each day. She decides to leave town to escape the hired guns, but they seem to show up at every turn. Her friends convince her to stay and fight Ancestor Lu, and they develop a plan to use the serum to take him down. The story is fast paced and, coupled with Cathy's unique voice, could make for a compelling read for teens familiar with the earlier titles.-Julianna M. Helt, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, PA
