Review: Short but fine
Rating: 4 out of 5

I really give this book just a shade over three and a half stars.  One star gets deducted because it is so short.  It's really much more of a novella, and had it been priced as such, I wouldn't complain.  But I want to feel like I'm getting value, and this series seems like every book gets shorter and less . . . okay.  This book is the least of the series in a number of ways.I've generally enjoyed Cape High up until this point, and I liked this book well enough, but I can't pretend that this series is in the same league as Wearing the Cape.  The series is what it is, light escapist reading, and it's done well enough, but no book in the series has been better than just good.  Dialogue is okay, although it's pretty cheesy - and not the fun Tick sort of cheesy.  Same thing goes for the characterization.  Ms. Ross writes action just fine, but this book was really short on it.  The conflict in this book was nearly nonexistant, as was the character development.  Also, the series changes POV characters from book to book, and they are all starting to blend together by this point.  Picking one or two and sticking with it would have aided clarity.And the book itself.  I was fifty percent through before I realized it - and not because I was enjoying the book so much.  Very very little happened.If you've made it this far in the series, then you might as well buy this book.  I realize that doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement - mostly because it isn't.
