Review: Pitch-perfect YA

This is mildly spoilery.  You have been warned.This was a wonderful YA story.  The main character is relatable, her core group of secondary characters is well developed, the bad guy is pretty impressive & the romance is pitch perfect for the genre. I really found Charlotte to be a very likable character.  She makes understandable choices for someone her age who feels a bit isolated, she may play some cards close to the chest but is willing to stick up for those she deems her friends.  The secondary cast all has developed personalities, especially her 3 friends: Sip, Lisabelle, & Lough. I like the mythology for the paranormal that the author has set up here.  It's different from much of what I have read & that is really hard to do in what can be an over-saturated genre. I personally love Lanca & really want to get her background.  I like the relationship that Charlotte develops with Keller, its natural & age appropriate for the genre (something not all of the YA stories pull off to well).  There are certainly shades of Snape in the professor Zervos.  As this is the intro book there is certainly still a bit more Universe building to go, but it was an awesome introduction!  I can't wait to read the next one & find out more about the students at Paranormal Public!
