idk. lots of info-dumping. weird dialogue for a bunch of teens. the pacing was fast yet slow at the same time.

You really hit the ground running with this book. An exciting story start to finish with an intriguing “other” world that exists within our own. The characters could have been fleshed out more but it is only the first book. I’m interested to know more about this bad guy and the plot twist at the end is a bit heartbreaking.
