All in all, Hunting Lila wasn't a bad book. It has great paranormal aspects, in the form of Lila who is telekinetic. There is action, because apparently, the people who killed her mother is out to get her and there is romance, because of course, Lila must be in love with someone. 
 If I have just one complaint about Hunting Lila, it is the romance. While I get that Lila is in love with her brother's best friend, it seems like their romance, or at least her crush on him, is one cliche after another. All she can think about is how to get Alex to touch her/kiss her/hold her, etc. (view spoiler)[To make matters worse, Alex likes her back too, for a long time, it seems. Can it get any more cliche than that? (hide spoiler)] One thing I will admit though, it was well-written. Lila's emotions and feelings for Alex were very well-written. It didn't feel trivial or insincere. It felt like she had genuine emotions for him. I just wished he wasn't her brother's best friend. 
 Lila is a likeable character. She isn't a damsel-in-distress but at the same time, she does show her vulnerabilities at times. I do find her a little too trusting. Whether or not this will be her downfall remains to be seen, but for her sake, I hope not. (view spoiler)[Especially when Demos tried convincing her that he really was on her side. He could very well be telling the truth and he did have some compelling proof, but Lila could have put up a better fight afterwards. From the moment she believed him, it was as if she knew him from day 1, which is not the case. Just because he's telling the truth this once, doesn't mean she can trust him just yet. (hide spoiler)] 
 Secondary characters are all right. I did like Jack and Alex, for their brotherly over-protectiveness. The plot of the story is an intriguing one and wouldn't spoiling anything, I'd say that it's certainly a departure from the usual paranormal offerings out there. Am hoping the sequel would up the stakes, seeing as how it ended on a cliffhanger. :)
