This so far has been the most enjoyable book in the series. The writing is questionable and honestly so is the storyline, very much feels like a Wattpad novel. It’s written in a way that’s not advanced (possibly only a step above beginner) and the target audience is (should be) adult - there’s a mismatch between intended and actual audience it seems and the content definitely should not be read by actual “young” young adult readers. 

Also a personal thing- not loving the play on words with ‘faebook’ and the likes, nor am I loving the text messaging and hashtaging - so maybe I’m not an urban fantasy lover.
