I finished the novel last night and it was an exciting story. The characters were interesting and real. Thanks for a look at the Secret Histories of the World from the viewpoint of people that do not know about it.

Panacea was the perfect book to slide right into the Secret History. I loved it! It was exactly what I expected it to be, and wanted it to be. It still left me guessing and just hanging on for the wild ride. Like other novels, I didn't try to figure it out. I just let it take me where it wanted. I'm so happy that the sequel is in the pipeline because I really like this duo.
Spoiler: finish the book first, please

I read the book when it first came out. I found it as satisfying as other FPW books, and as stated upthread I liked the way that it ventured a bit into the Secret History world with a somewhat different outlook from a character who seemed to be guessing at it, and without realizing it had a piece of it.
In terms of the Secret History, when does Panacea take place: Before Nightworld, After Nightworld or "beside" Nightworld (different world with a similar Secret History)?

Panacea probably fits best between Bloodline and By the Sword. Silverfish nailed it: The characters are in the same world but not at ground zero like Jack & Co. Rick senses what's going on but has no proof. I didn't intend it that way; it sort just happened. This guest blog on Criminal Element explains how and why.
