Review: Not that bad, but not that great.

Firstly, the story flows easily enough and, while there are a few glaring grammatical errors, they're significantly less than often encountered in the e-book market.A couple of things really annoyed me about this book, however, which is why I just couldn't get into it:- The villain was so obvious it destroyed any notion of suspense/tension in the plot. As another reviewer noted, the things the villain was supposed to have done did not seem entirely feasible when looked at in retrospect.- The hero was a bit 'off' to me. The description of him suggested he was almost albino. I can't find a platinum-haired, pale-skinned, blue-eyed, tattooed guy attractive. That's a very individual perspective and not one that I would mark the book down for - just something I personally found very off-putting.- Some of the dialogue and teenage behaviour that took place in front of the adults seemed too unrealistic to me, particularly the initial meeting between the H/h.In all, I found it a slightly below-average read and I couldn't get to the end without some serious skimming from about the half-way mark. Having said that, I can be tough to please and there are others who apparently really enjoyed it...
