I was hoping for something better than Twilight, a series that made me want to beat my head against a wall, and this honestly wasn't much better. The one thing this series has going for it is the heroine isn't a helpless damsel. She's fairly smart and resourceful on her own and has helpful though slightly annoying friends. The villainess is a cardboard cutout of a girl and the ending left me feeling like I just watched an episode of a slightly dangerous version of the Brady Bunch.
The writing style also made me cringe. I don't understand why just because this is targeted at a YA audience that it has to be written in such a cutesy conversational tone with a bunch of asides in parenthesis and pop culture name dropping like it's going out of style. I will not be continuing this series.
