Review: Has the potential to become good stand alone novels
Rating: 3 out of 5

I felt as if I was reading a draft of the first chapter of two books. Both stories would make good stand alone novels and if Ms. DiMauro decides to write them I would give them a chance.Now, the reason I cannot give this book four stars is because there were sections that just didn't flow easily for me and I do not like re-reading. I also didn't connect with the characters and the plots were a bit too predictable. I feel neutral about this one because it is certainly not a bad read, however, I cannot say that it is a good read either - I didn't get excited about reading it. When I finished reading, I closed the book and waited a few days for a feeling to come to me - like it or don't like it - and it didn't, I remain neutral. The redeeming factors in both stories were that they are good clean stories that anyone can read from teens to adults and they were quick, easy reads.
