Review: tension and the mystery were well-maintained

This was a fast, enjoyable read for me.  I liked the main character Derry and became rapidly engrossed in her story, always wondering where it would go next.  I became a little bit annoyed at the redundancy of showing Derry's lie detector abilities constantly, but that sometimes made for some hilarious moments.  The tension and the mystery were well-maintained all the way to the end.  I felt the teenage interactions were believable for the most part, and the conversations and banter helped propel the action along.  A few things bothered me as being just wrong and/or criminal - actions taken or not taken by the supposed good guys which kept me personally from falling totally in love with this book.  Still, I loved the premise, the story, and how clean and well-edited this novel is.  I do think it should appeal to a wide cross-section of readers.This book was given to me by the author in exchange for my honest review.Reviewed by Laurie-J
