I enjoyed parts of the book, but I couldn't stay interested in it. It lacked a lot of the danger and excitement of the first two books.

I had a lot of high hopes for this book and then was severely let down. When I picked up this book the concept seemed really interesting and it had a lot of potential. Unfortunately I'm left wanting the time I spent reading this back. There was little character development and the dialogue was awful. I found the first few chapters really interesting and then it just died. I kept reading hoping it would get better. It didn't. Seriously can I have my weekend back?

Wizard of Oz meets Looper meets who knows what else. Wow, what a dark and twisted adventure. I couldn't put it down!

I think this book could have been a lot better if it had been longer. It's really hard to get an amazing story out in 250 pages. I generally stay away from anything under than 350 pages for this reason. I thought that there was going to be a lot more astrology-esq stuff with this book. The thought of Zombies + Astrology is what made me decided to pick it up. Unfortunately there just wasn't enough details for my liking in this book. There was really nothing for me to sink my teeth into, and nothing for me to get attached to the characters over. It was very monotonous, and towards the end I just found myself checking how many pages I had left, because I wanted to be done. There were so many avenues in this book, that if taken, would have made it so interesting, but they were just forgotten by the end. For me, this was just a "meh" kind of read.
