The story was interesting and I enjoyed the concept/idea behind the superpowers. However, the "villian" of the novel's reasoning behind the actions seemed somewhat silly. Also, the obsession with LA and the characters attitudes struck me as flat/forced. A sassy girl who doesn't work well with others in love with a big city is just not a troupe I love. Overall, I enjoyed the book and it kept me turning page after page to figure out what was going to happen. A solid start to a (hopefully!) good series.
