Well, let's start off by being a little critical - yes, there are some errors. Yes, it could have used an (better) editor.But, you are reading an indie author. They don't have the slew of editors that The Big 5 do. They have friends, teachers and friends and usually, their mom.So please, keep that in mind. If you don't want to read work from an indie author, then don't.Now, the book was a decent enough tale. It was engaging and very intense - the characters read like real people. I got hung up a time or two in conversation, the author doesn't use character markers in dialogue enough - this is a personal pet peeve and something that goes outside the scope of an editor - authors should know this and stick to it.The book offers a little bit of variety from several different genres - thriller, adventure, a touch of a horror and a good deal of romance.It touches on every day issues that people experience - loss of loved ones and making new friends - it just involves them in a nice adventurous twist that touches on forbidden. The book really is easy to relate to and it's a fun read that keeps you reading - most readers can't ask for much more than that. The ending leaves open for a sequel that I probably would give a chance as a few core issues are left unresolved and a few others are opened/introduced after the climax and towards the end.Yes, I think I would be willing to read the sequel. :)It's a good book for young adult readers, but if you're a Grammar Nazi, give it a pass.
