Another up-all-nighter (who needs sleep?)

This book, oh man. You know what? No, it's not that simple. I don't understand how Devon McCormack does it. Every book he writes has an ending I did not see coming! I don't know if I should be awed by this talent or angry that he keeps doing this. I'm toying with the idea that he may be a witch.
So back to the review. Steven, such a great character, I loved his self description of Charlie Brown. He seems like your average senior, just going to school, crushing on hotties, and ignoring his future, because yeah, at seventeen not everyone knows what they wanna do for the rest of their lives. I liked that bit a lot. Most characters I read about are more like Ryan, i.e. hottie being crushed on by Steven, knew what he wanted to do after graduation, and recently deceased. (Well maybe not the deceased part)
Honestly, at first I didn't like Ryan at all. He rubbed me the wrong way. He seemed kinda douchy and very ungrateful. Fortunately he grew on me and Boom, I was team Steven and Ryan. I know, I know Ryan's dead but darn it a girl can hope right? Plus they had to figure out why Ryan was hanging out as a spectral being. They go sleuthing to find out the truth and the twists and turns this story threw at me had me flying through the pages. I may have growled at my husband for interrupting me while I was at a particularly adrenaline fueled scene. It happens!
The characters and world developed by Devon McCormack were phenomenal. It's seriously like watching a movie when I read anything by McCormack. Will always recommend anything he writes, possibly even his grocery lists. ( )
