Review: Still badly edited!!!!
Rating: 3 out of 5

I am SO disappointed!  In spite of the "Now professionally edited" claim, all 3 books in this series are still badly edited.  As a teacher, I am horrified by the example this sets for young adults.  Missing words, extra words, incorrect word choice (homophones, especially: ie, here instead of hear), all create confusion in meaning and interrupt the flow of the book, making it hard to read.  The authors also need to learn the difference between subject and object pronouns.Other reviewers have commented on the ending.  After reading all 3 books, and struggling through all the grammatical and word choice mistakes, I felt cheated by the trunkated ending.  It was almost as if the authors got to a certain point, the phone rang, and they raced to finish before answering.  I not only felt that I had been cheated, but that the characters themselves had been cheated out of their own due treatment.  They deserved better, and something was lost.I will be far more careful of purchasing books that have not been published in print, and have not been professionally edited.  This could have been an excellent series with a little help from a true professional editor at a publishing house.  Being in print is no guarantee, but in my experience they are usually better edited.
