This book is definitely a ?meet the players? and a set up for a sequel because not much is resolved. It?s bit risqué for a young adult novel. Not my favorite ever but it was enjoyable. I?ll probably read the next book.
Having almost too much brand name dropping was distracting, but I get why the author did that. It?s like a supernatural Gossip Girl. I was also slowed down by the name Schuyler. How do you pronounce that? Shue-ler? Shoi-ler? Is it German? Later one of her friends calls her Sky and if that?s an alternate spelling of the name Skyler it?s a stupid one. The author?s attempt at a Texas accent did not hit the mark.
