Review: A bit slow and a bit short

Good stuff like the rest of the series, but a bit short, and the plot hasn't advanced very far.  Unlike others, I found the dialog much tighter than in other books.  If I could offer one criticism, the book is now about the conflict between sarah and paula, but we only get into paula's head.  I wonder why the author goes 3rd person omniscient only as to paula.  I think that if the author just continued to reveal paula's psychosis (and its roots) through word and deed, rather than spilling the beans on her, it might have more effectively built tension.(SPOILERS)Edit - I also don't think that Thomas and Aja are handled very well.  Their reaction to the group strikeS me as completely unrealistic in view of the circumstances of their meeting.  After their personal tragedy, they pick up and carry on as if nothing happened, and what's worse, they become friendly with the people who caused that tragedy.
