I was disappointed after reading this book. I've heard so many great reviews but I couldn't get into it! It slowly went on through these characters that I either didn't like or understand. Ah well.

My only wish is that I could be reading these books all in a row rather than waiting for them to come out month after month. That way when we finally get to see the Friend's face in this volume I could gasp in shock rather than go, "Wait, who was that again?" and have to look him up in the beginning character guide. I think it's the suspense that I love about this series.

The point of view was a little too distant from the main character, Kendall. Also, I thought the supernatural element of the "haunted desk" to be a bit ridiculous. It was quite a stretch to make up a story about a desk that makes you bury yourself.

This really reminded me of The Outsiders with its tale of delinquents, and was also a good read. I was in suspense!
