It's one of those books where the premise sounded interesting and wasn't poorly written but once I started reading it I realized was more for a juvenile age group than a young adult. So, it's not bad but it's not as interesting to me as it could have been.
What [a:Jaclyn Dolamore|3009541|Jaclyn Dolamore|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1250436377p2/3009541.jpg] does well is make what is mostly a fairly obvious story surprising. She also has a cast of diverse characters that are well developed considering the simplicity of the narrative.
