Review: Not bad, but desperately needs an editor and proofreader

Overall, it wasn't a bad read. It's targeted as a Young Adult series, so we're not expecting "classic literature" here. But the one thing that irked me to no end, and I find this common among many of the lower-priced Kindle books, is that there has been little-to-no editing or proofreading. If these books are targeted to the YA market, then I feel it's even more important to make sure that words are spelled correctly and used correctly. This author needs to learn that "should of" is NOT what "should've" is. It may be pronounced the same, but the proper usage is the contraction of "should have" (should've). Also, "they're" is not the same as "their" (nor "there"). There are many errors of this nature scattered throughout the story and that makes it look like the author ran it through spell-check, but didn't have anyone proof it (since the words were spelled correctly, but used improperly, spell-check would not pick the error up in scanning the text).
