I was so excited to read this because usually, JLA is good at YA. I guess it's just the suspense part that didn't work for me. 
 The characters were okay. They're jusy kind of... forgettable. Even Carson. Sorry ladies. 
 I'm a big fan of R.L. Stine and Stephen King so I'm not really new to the suspense thingy. I guess I was disappointed in this book because I had so many books to compare it with. 
 I found many scenes predictable. I even predicted what the mysteries were in the middle of the book. The suspense parts were... kinda boring. They me feel like "that's it??". It wasn't so bad, really. It was just not as good as I expected. 
 Oh well, I better stick with her paranormals then. ;) Suspense? I'll pass if she writes one again. Sorry.
