In a non-surprising finale, the book once again frustrated by placing a masterpiece of a plotline firmly in the backseat to play second fiddle to teenage angst and stupidity. 
 The main character is a complete and utter fool and ignorant of the obvious. She's unfair to Gideon and undeserving of the friendship and help of Lesley and her gargoyle ghost friend. 
 I'm depressed that a good editor didn't get her hands on this series. She could have forced the author to cut out all of the stupid teenage drama and focus on the spectacular idea that was the ignored storyline. 
 UGH. 
 Do not recommend to anyone above the age of 13.
