This series is so addictive, and really my rating is more of a guilty 3.5. I think listening to it as an audiobook helps since the three voice actresses do a great job of conveying three very distinct characters' perspective on the plot. Usually, revenge stories aren't my jam...but something about the small town on an island bit and the whole high school drama and the love triangles and the partying...it just works. Um, apparently I missed anything paranormal happening in the first book but figured out quickly what was happening in book two. Even when it's predictable, it's fun.
