I didn't hate this book by any means, but I also didn't love it. I had moments while reading it where I felt like something had happened that wasn't sufficiently explained, followed by moments that were over explained. Frankly, the whole Jersey Devil idea threw me for a loop whenever it was mentioned. While I know what the Jersey Devil is, its connection to the characters was tossed in without much explanation and I kept wondering how it all connected. (This was explained eventually, mind you, but not until the end.)I'm not a huge fan of game changing secrets being kept from main characters. Especially when it's "for their own good" or any variation on that theme. Hannah's grandmother acted unpardonably, in my opinion, and Hannah's mother keeping who her father was a secret seemed borderline ridiculous considering what Hannah could potentially become.I really don't know what to think of this book. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't for me. Parts of it were over the top (Hannah's grandmother harping on her hair started to grate after, I don't know, the first time it was mentioned) and I can't figure out how Hannah's best friend fits into the grand scheme of things.-Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal
