In Borrowing Abbey Grace, Green creates an incredibly intriguing setup that will keep readers interested and coming back for more. You see, Abbey is a Shadow. When someone `borrows' Abbey Grace, she takes over their body and solves whatever problem they have. This time, Abbey get's placed in the body of Brooke, a girl who was recently kidnapped. Abbey has to face the challenge discovering who kidnapped her and finding Brooke's little brother.Isn't that great? What this tells me is that Green will always have somewhere new and exciting to take the book. We will always have Abbey, but everything around her will change.Green packs a great sense of suspense into the plot. There is a lot of build up, but I was a bit let down by the ending. It was certainly a surprise ending, but for me, it wasn't very satisfying. I wanted more from the book. The storyline presents a number of great questions about Abbey and her past, but it doesn't answer any of them.Abbey is a great character. She is strong, likable and has no problem carrying the storyline along. She's got spunk and sass and is quite the little spitfire.This was a quick, short read, but it certainly packs a lot of potential. I wasn't a huge fan of the storyline this time around, but I loved Abbey. She has the whole Veronica Mars vibe going on, which is always a hit with me. I look forward to reading the next installments of the series and seeing what trouble Abbey finds herself in next time. I just hope that her storyline is touched on a bit more. I have so many questions about her that were completely left open.
