really enjoyed this book. The pacing was fast enough to keep me interested but not slow enough for me to get bored. I think the character development of Shea is fantastic - Beth is a harder read which I think was intentional and the author did a good job of allowing Beth's personality to shine through.
I will say my only grievance is that the supernatural element was never really fleshed out or explained. At the beginning when we first hear from Beth's point of view I was under the impression that her experiences with the supernatural forces would play more of a part in the whole story - not just the ending.
Regardless I found it to be a very good book. I probably won't reread it, but I would recommend it!
