“The purpose of Operation Mephisto was to study the viability of using possession to boost paranormal abilities.” [loc. 533]
I should probably have waited until I could read all of SPECTR Series 3 in a single volume: this novella, episode 4, felt a bit too lean. (I devoured the SPECTR collections in one binge-read over a period of about three days earlier this year: first series, second series, books 1-3 of third series.)
In Harvester of Bones, John heads off with his 'cousin' Ryan and his colleague Zahira to discover more about his contradictory memories and mysterious childhood. Meanwhile, Caleb and Gray (and the 'new' drakul Night) are left to deal with the latest monster of the week, the eponymous bone-harvester. Some lighter moments here, as Night is still not very good around humans: it's a good contrast to John's investigations.
But this really was just a chapter of a larger work and the situation (and relationships) deteriorated over the course of the 86 pages. I think I'll wait until this series is finished before reading more.
