This third Diana Tregarde novel is by far the weakest. It has the same weaknesses of the other two -- not terribly interesting characterization or plots, piss-poor mystery, and Diana being an idiot and not thinking of the obvious solution for at least a hundred pages. Unfortunately, it is also told predominantly from the POV of three teenagers (one of whom is the source of all the problems), all of whom think and act like imbecils throughout. I know that teenagers often look like they don't have a brain in their heads, but they do -- they just have a different set of priorities than adults do. And when the world comes crashing down on them, they DON'T pick fights with each other, they band together and act like sheep. The novels still read incredibly fast, but I was pissed off at it the whole time. If there were any more Tregarde novels, I don't think I would read them given where Lackey took the series in Jinx High.
