It seemed out of character for her, and I can't imagine any of her family members are going to be particularly happy about it. She also makes some poor decisions in one dramatic moment that I can't imagine won't have pretty serious repercussions in books to come. Several people Verity cares about are dead, yet she seems curiously unaffected by it. My biggest problem with this book came towards the end, when things suddenly seem to happen all too quickly. Friends and acquaintances of Verity are in danger and she and her family have to stop the cultists before everyone on the show dies. There's another mystery of people going missing and turning up dead, and yet another group of people trying to summon a snake god - this time people who seem to know what they're doing. She seemed no nonsense and absolutely hardcore. We are also properly introduced to Verity's grandma Alice, who due to complicated reasons looks young enough to pose as Verity's cousin. I was very happy to spend time with Verity and Dominic again, and they are super cute as newly weds. Luckily, her grandma Alice is willing and able to lend a hand, and together they start investigating, only to discover that the danger is greater and more immediate than they feared. Verity is going to need help, more than just Dominic is able to give her.
Then she discovers that the contestants who have been voted off the show are being killed and their bodies used in some sort of sinister, arcane ritual. Posing as Valerie again, with Dominic hiding out in a motel a ways away, Verity reunites with old friends and gets serious about dance again.
While she's unsure of what to do, her family encourage her to go and make sure, once and for all, what career is the one she's meant to devote herself to. Then she gets a call from the producer of "Dance or Die", the reality show that she came runner up in a few years ago and she's asked to return for a "former contestants" edition. Verity has given up on her alter ego Valerie Pryor and her career in ballroom dancing and is fully committed to cryptozoology with her new husband and the rest of her family. Verity and Dominic have left New York, and got married in Vegas while travelling with Verity's stuff cross-country.
