I read the entire "book" which is the only reason I didn't give it one star.  Apparently this prequel to other Rachel Vincent books in this same genre is supposed to explain some of the backstory and entice the reader to want to read more.  If so, it does a terrible job because nothing is really explained and I had zero desire to read any further in this storyline.I disliked the teen girl protagonist's attitude throughout the short book, although I think she was a reasonably accurate picture of the extreme egocentricity, wild mood swings, annoying sarcasm, and lack of rational thought exhibited by many teenagers today.  I'm the father of two female teens so I've got quite a bit of experience with them.  She may have been accurately portrayed but she wasn't sympathetically portrayed and as a result I could not care less what happened to her.
