I wasn’t sure what I was getting into with this book. A coworker was freaking out about the ending and wanted me to read it so we could talk about it. Wow. I can tell you for a fact that I did not see that coming. The beginning was slow and hard to get into, but about halfway through it takes a turn and I could not put it down. I certainly didn’t have any inkling where the book was gunna end up, but I was not disappointed.

I give this book maybe a higher rating than I should for a YA book, but this series has a special place in my heart, so I’m a little bias. Great read for middle school-early high school kids.
