Has a good story, maybe not the best storyteller
I liked this book and I thought that the dynamics between Jordan, Abby, and Dan were done well. The big flaw in this book is the fact that the ending is rushed. You find out the what's going on and then the climax is over in about a page. But I think the series has promise so I will continue to read the next book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
