“I found this to be a pleasant surprise. It’s young adult, so it’s not super gory or super scary, but the girl-on-girl violence is super cruel and unfortunately, probably not much of an exaggeration. And the romances are sweet. I liked meeting Claire and her new roommates. Caine also makes Morganville a particularly creepy place to live. The feeling it invoked in me was like one of those dreams where you’re being chased and can’t find a way to escape. My one complaint about the book is that I didn’t like the last chapter with its manufactured cliff-hanger. I would have rather had that event open the next book – it didn’t really fit – but it wasn’t enough to discourage me from continuing with this series.”
