First let me give a disclaimer. I am not as happy with the series as I initially was with it. Yet somehow I can't deny that Brothers has an almost magical irresistibly addicting writing style. Despite my vocal gripes, I ended up not being able to walk away from this book. 
 First the good. Allie is still endearing and the plot brings in some rather interesting elements. I liked the idea of a road trip and I enjoyed the introduction of some of the new characters, namely the character of Sammie. There's a lot that can be done with this character and I'm going to hope that she'll be more developed in the next book. 
 Now for the not so good. While I enjoyed this book, I'll be the first to admit that the book was pretty weak at times. Why? Because it just felt like it was written very spur of the moment. Things are brought up so abruptly that I can't help but wonder how much pre-plotting was done for this book or if it was all written as-is. There's some good ideas here that would have been amazing if properly developed over the previous books, but unfortunately they weren't. As a result some of the reveals and plot developments just feel a little choppy and unevenly paced at worst and at best, a little predictable. (The final reveal of the book is a good example of something everyone could've seen coming a mile away.) 
 In the end the book is still a pretty fun read despite its weaknesses. In its current state it'll probably never become as big as some of the more known UF YA books, but it's entertaining enough that it'll be more than just another entry into the UF genre. I've read better, but this is good enough for me to want to read the next book in the series and recommend it as a library read.
