[Bob · Rating 1 out of 5]

this book is the third in a series involving a group of paranormally gifted teens who end up solving crimes. i read the first two and really enjoyed them. the characters were interesting and their interaction was involving. they were just light, easy reading, well written books. this third book in the series was a real disappointment. the interaction between characters was minimal. the plot was incomprehensible and fell apart in the last pages completely. i'm guessing that the loose ends of this plot will be addressed in another sequel, but i'm not going to bother reading it even if that is the case. the author lost me with this one.
