So much happened in this book, yet nothing at all. Each scene felt full of events, but where it was meant to be action packed actually felt slow paced and almost lackadaisical. Furthermore, settings and explanations lacked adequate description. This made it difficult to understand what exactly was going on. As I read, I struggled to form an image in my mind for what was going on. 

The romance between Cara and Zach was cute but too direct. In the beginning it is said they quarreled for years; 15 pages later he would do anything for her. There was no middle ground and made their relationship feel underdeveloped. Still, I enjoyed how Zach treated Cara. 

Once again, I did not realize this book was the beginning of a series.
