With this book (book #5,) Zoey keeps with her new habit of mostly worrying about her actual problems than her perceived ones. But at the same time this book takes place over maybe three days.
As usual, relationships between Zoey and boys/men is overly dramatic and genuinely unnecessary, but I realize this is YA. I was super into that as a teenager; I get it. However, giving Zoey as many male counterparts as possible is getting annoying. Seriously, by the end of this book, she's got four (4) guys. The fact that she's wishy washy about one who was assaulting women via magic manipulation (vampire stuff) and another who is a known rapist is uh, well, that's certainly a choice the authors made.
Overall, the plot of this book wasn't bad. However, I have a feeling this arc is going to be dragged out when it shouldn't be. We'll see.
