ELLIOT!!! Dude. If Elliot existed in real life, I would be in heaven. Man, I love her so much. I totally just took her character and… became best friends with it. I don’t know, but she was awesome. True BFF material. I also appreciated the ending (although I cried my heart out after ***** ****!!!!!). In the first book, there was a reasonable ending, hinting at more to come, but not requiring it. In the second book… It was like, WE SHALL ALL DIE!!! THERE IS NO HAPPY ENDING!!! So I really wanted a realistic ending (If you can even call it that in a fantasy book) as far as where the characters’ relationships were, and how the events were going to play out. And I do feel like I got that. Least favorite? Most definitely Jared. He was completely off his rocker. I mean, he’s the one that belongs in a mental institution! (If you haven’t read this book, I promise I have perfectly good reason to say this. I’m not just a mean person. I think promise.) During the first part of the book, I did my best to ignore his less… Redeeming qualities…. Because I thought that he was just a badly-thought-out character (Or something?) that was just one of those YA love interests. Oh boy. NOT. (Also, is it just me, or does If You Say So by Lea Michelle go really well with the end of this book? Of course, that could possibly just be because I love the song because I absolutely love Lea Michelle’s voice.) Guys, I really can’t reveal much of this book because of SPOILERS, but the whole thing was just planned out so well. Hint- there is a good ghost in this book. Who I happen to love to death. And the bad one… Much different and ten times scarier than the ones from past books! Seriously, that ending though. Okay, this makes no sense. I apologize for wasting thirty seconds of your life by making you read this. And this. And this.
