Review: it was okay

Should have been a compelling story, but it didn't really hold me. I didn't feel any attachment to any of the characters, in fact, other than Ethan, I didn't like any of them. I also don't like that so many authors now are just taking it for granted that all teenagers are having sex. I know a lot of them are, but can we hear about some of the ones who aren't, for once? They are out there. Claire was the main character, but she was so wishy washy, I couldn't stand her. Then, near the end, when she is driving and they are hoping they might actually get away from the Highwayman, she's worried about getting a ticket and thinks they should pull over for the cop, even after everything they have just seen and gone through. Right. Not interested in what happens next.One thing I did like is that while the boys (including the boys from the 50s), started out as d-bags, they did manage to redeem themselves. Their actions surprised me, given the way they had been before. And, if you like the blood and guts kind of thing, you might like it.
