Review: Would have liked more of the main characters rather than secondary players, but good read nonetheless

This book seemed a little "all over the place" to me. It started off as the story of Willa and Spider (James) but then all these other storylines got pulled in (and not resolved). I understand this book is part of a series, and that each book CAN be read as a stand alone (thank goodness) but reading the other books enhances your understanding and appreciation of each individual book. That said, however, this one seemed to meander off in different directions with little or no planning. One moment the story is moving along and the next Willa is pondering the whereabouts of a character named "Flick" that I don't remember being even mentioned previously. WTH? I think I would have loved the book, instead of liked it, if the story had focused more on Willa and Spider rather than going off in a hundred different directions. Let those characters have their own books and I will read them. THAT kind of series I like. This wasn't a bad read by any means, it just didn't seem as focused as the Rocker series, for instance. A good read but too much extra stuff that did nothing to add to the main story.
