Review: Interesting enough, but lacking a bit

I received a free copy, from LoP, in exchange for a review.Ava finds out that there is a lot more to this world than she had thought. Who knew that magic really did exist and that there are different races of magical people. One day, she notices a strange man, sitting across from her house and she cannot shake the feeling that something is just not right. When a mysterious green stone is left on the bench, she instantly snatches it up and something strange happens. She feels as if she needs to protect this stone and not let anyone see, touch or take it away from her. Little did she know that this innocent stone was just the beginning to an introduction to this other world, one where she is accepted as a Keeper and is trying to help keep the peace, between all races of people, magical or otherwise.' Magenta shook her head, making her long tangles hair shake in the direction of her disagreement, and pushed Ava's hand away gently. “Sorry, I can't take it. It's not really Andre's either. He was only the delivery guy. That crystal is yours, and you were chosen because you are the best for the job. This means you have two options: you can come with me and learn what we do and hot to protect yourself, or you can stay here and risk your life. Now that the Visma know about you, they will never stop attacking. Look, Ava, I'm sorry, but it's now or never. Are you coming?” 'As much as I wanted to give this a better rating, there was just something missing from the story. The characters and story line were interesting, but it lacked an overall feel to it. While I did finish reading this fairly quickly, it was a bit difficult to give it my all. I was almost bored with it, but wanted to know what happened. I'm not sure if I would be interested in reading the following books (assuming that there will be more) but, I would like to know what happens. It's just an overall strange way to feel about a story...
