With his dying words, H—Jacob Portman’s final connection to his grandfather Abe’s secret life— entrusts Jacob with a mission: Deliver newly contacted peculiar Noor Pradesh to an operative known only as V. Noor is being hunted. She is the subject of an ancient prophecy, one that foretells a looming apocalypse. Save Noor—Save the future of all peculiardom.

With enemies behind him and the unknown ahead, Jacob Portman’s story continues as he takes a brave leap forward into The Conference of the Birds.
Review:
It is interesting to watch this series evolve, even though I don't always enjoy it. Some parts of this book fell flat for me. I can't put my finger on what it was, but it felt rushed and lacking content. The ending still sucked me in though and I still love these characters as much as I loved them before.
