Books like this are why goodreads needs half stars. This is probably a solid 3.5, a recommended but not have to read it sort of book. Anywho... Like the other books in the series, this is a solid mystery with lightweight paranormal elements, and I've enjoyed them largely because the family and relationship dynamics are well done. Jay is a great YA love interest and I'd love to see more YA live interests written in this vein. I won an ARC of the last book in the series at an event at Powell's and am looking forward to seeing how everything shakes out for Violet and Co.
