3.5 out of 5 stars

I can't really say whether or not this was better than the first one. Mackenzie was just as idiotic in this book. The love triangle made me roll my eyes; it was obvious who she was going to end up with, so why bother? I really thought this book didn't need a stereotypical love plot. However, I was not looking forward to the whole "high school" background plot, but it wasn't that bad. I thought the story was a little slow, especially in the beginning and middle, but the end picked up nicely. The ending is what really gave it a 3.5 instead of a 3. I might read the third book if I feel like it (I would have to wait until I come home from college next May). I just really hope that Mackenzie doesn't get away with everything like she has in the past two books. Seriously, it is like she never has consequences to her actions. Everything is magically solved; she gets away with murder every two chapters. It just doesn't seem realistic.
