Story wise, it's really good. I was engaged and interested the whole time, and he does a really good job keeping the tension high. But the characters? Some of the weakest character writing I have ever seen.
The only character that you get any feeling about is Maggie, and she's obviously written to hate. But the love interest, Terry, is also absolutely intolerable, and there's zero development of her romance with Jonas. He suddenly goes from not liking her to shagging her and she goes from hating him to shagging him, back to hating him, back to liking him, but never in all that did I ever feel like there was any meat to their relationship. She's reckless and annoying, and he's just a generic guy.
I hope his ability to write characters improves somewhat in later books...
