I finished reading the book, although I nearly quit it multiple times. The writing is mostly OK, but the story was just underwhelming. I was pulled out of the story time and time again by the ridiculous choices the heroine makes. She's "special" and inherited strong telepathic abilities, but apparently little common sense. Every time her intuition tells her she may well die in a situation, she decides it's the perfect time to go there, alone, without letting anyone know first. I'm fine with fantasy or magical reality, but I need lead characters I can admire.The villains are straight out of a bad B movie, as is the conclusion. I wonder if this might be a satisfying read for young adults, as it would take some serious naivete to suspend disbelief with this story. I'm grateful I didn't have to pay for it.
