Misguided Angel by Melissa de la Cruz
4.0

This is by far the best book in this series so far. Cruz writes with so much more depth to the characters and with consistent plots that are both exciting and quick to get hooked to. I loved the 3 different perspectives, and I like that de la Cruz kept you in each POV for long portions of the book.
My few qualms were with the syntax between Jack and Schuyler (Jack speaks like a tacky, cheesy romance novel lead), and with the general length of the book. I think that de la Cruz could have stretched this book out much longer - given it more details, more insight into the plot, even more depth to the individual characters... It seems like she's cranking them out at short lengths to keep selling more books (I'm not trying to stipulate; it just seems logical). I don't berate her that, but I wish the books were longer and more thoughtful. I also thought that Mimi was unfortunately the most accurate and real character in this novel in the way she spoke and behaved.
I'm excited for the next book really for the first time since I started this series!
