That ENDING!

The author has done a great job, once again pushing the readers to recall the little tidbits and breadcrumbs that have been left along the way.I thoroughly enjoyed this book as it brought back some of the charm and excitement that was found in book 1. I can't wait to see where we go from here, but please know that this series is awesome!

I was enjoying this series immensely until about 2/3 of the way through this book and then it got frustrating.

I expected this to be the last in the series but, nope, it has a cliffhanger ending (a pretty awful one in my opinion) so I fought my way through the final third of this book only to be left deeply unsatisfied and a little pissed off.

Another enjoyable installment that ended with me wanting the next book to be out NOW.

I liked how in this book you kept thinking "oh this one is the nemesis" only to go "oh, guess not. Then this must be it" and it's only until almost the end to you find out who and what and why.

I absolutely LOVED this book - and really, the entire series, which I devoured non-stop over the course of the last three days. Penny is a great three-dimensional character: flawed in the most believable way, but with a good heart. She struggles with a lot of the same problems that we all do (minus, alas, the superpowers): communicating with her parents, getting along with her peers, and navigating the tricky world of starting to date.

Holds up great for adult readers, but is age appropriate and entertaining for the younger readers it was presumably written for.

Editor needed

Occasionally hard to follow, largely due to seriously needing an editor, but the episodic nature inherent in the series seemed to lack the linear flow the first couple of books managed.

What the hell happened there at the end????
I'm sure glad I'm reading this when the next book is already available...

I had hoped that this book would revive my love of the characters, but instead, it has just pissed me off. How do you make the most interesting part of the book a cliffhanger to be resolved in the next book? Cliffhangers are a cheap trick to lure readers into another book when your story doesn't do it for you. A good lure is a complete stand-alone story with a thread to be resolved later, not a straight-up cliff. Just damned frustrating.
