This is a pretty good book. It starts kind of slow and the clues are kind of obvious, but when it picks up speed it's really intense. The second book has just come out and I'm eager to read it and find out what happens next. This is a trilogy and so there is a third book in the works. It's a pretty good read, and the characters are well realized, so all and all it's a pretty good book.

This book was an impulse read. I spotted it on the shelves of my school library and decided to pick it up. Within minutes, I was hooked. There are six books total in this series, so make sure you have enough time for a series before you pick it up. The action is apparently a little slow in the beginning, but I honestly didn't notice, so I'll let you be the judge. Other than that, it's a really good read.
