Rating: 4 out of 5

3.5 Stars would probably be more accurate. In my review of the first book in this series I stated that I would NOT compare my need to read this 2nd book in the series to the unexplainable need to watch a train wreck.  However, after reading this book and still finding myself needing to read book #3, Yea, it is like needing to watch a train wreck.  The author took the story in a totally unexpected direction which was interesting.  However, I found Nikki, Duncan and Ethan so annoying that several times I debated whether I could or should finish the book.  Yes, there are chilling moments, suspense and surprises but this book also reminded me of why I stopped reading the young adult genre.Nevertheless, I will be reading book #3 because like the need to watch a train wreck I want to see how this turns out.  I do however hope that Vengence is the last book in the series.  If not, I really don't think I could make it through a another book given how irritating I find the main characters.  On the otherhand,  I can clearly understand why many reviewers liked the book.  I on the otherhand, just lack patience for teenage angst and stupidity.  Since I realize my shortcomings in the latter I still gave the book a 4.0 rating because I realize that it's my personality traits and not the story's as to why I found  aspects and characters irritating.  Man do I bend over to be fair in my ratings or what!  LOLThere were not as many editing problems as in the first book but the editor still need to be more diligent.
