3.5 stars, because the pace seemed a little confused to me. It was slow to start, got exciting, slowed down, somehow, for the climax, and then picked back up for the hook for the sequel.

Overall, the characters were pleasant, but fell a bit flat. There was a certain lack of depth to the goings-on of the school, of the media, and of generally everything. Also the romance was more than a little cringe-worthy and unfounded, but that's just me. And it may be setting up for a different relationship to develop later on. I certainly hope so.

This book does have some very unique aspects that I haven't seen before in paranormal romance, and I love fresh ideas. It promises to be an interesting series, at least, and I will be reading the next one.

I just hope there's a little more character depth and development in the following books.
