This book took me at least a year to finish. It just didn't grab me really at all. I'm going to try the fifth one in hopes that it's better because I did enjoy the first 3 books. Though I really wish JLA would stop with the "Holy (insert word here)" exclamations. :/ 
 Let me just say, YA is definitely JLA's strength. I've read her NA under J. Lynn and her writing style just doesn't work for me there. It is much better suited here in YA.
