I feel like the setup and idea were there for this one, but after a while I just got bored. The ending wasn't a complete surprise, but I also didn't care for the way it ended up. I enjoyed Shea as a main character, but I wish we got more personal with her, especially with her history.

Beth was an interesting addition to the book. Her personality was entertaining and added a bit of fun to the storytelling. I do think the story was a bit longer than it needed to be and we could've gotten to the point quicker. It did seem to drag once Shea started to have the smallest clue of what could possibly be going on.
