I really liked this book. There was points were I was asking myself what was actually happening but it was still good.
It's not perfect in my eyes. It has it flaws but it's still enjoyable. Very easy to read very quickly.

Kind of dropped off, I didn't care by the middle. 

Chosen one but modern setting, reminded me of the "39 Clues" series but less intense.

The only reason this isn't a 4 star rating is because I felt that it was a bit predictable. Granted, if I read this 12-15 years ago, it might not feel as predictable. I blame watching tons of murder mystery shows...

Don't worry murder is not actually part of this book
