Wanted to like this book, but Brown ruins it early with ham-handed use of foreshadowing. Look for a falling fat lady and you'll know.

I really wanted to like this book! The mythology is amazing. The writing.... well, not so much. Characterization and setting boils down to dropping designer names (a la Sex in the City?) and drama/dialogue/plot is a la Gossip Girl... urrrgh. If you really wanted teen escapist romance/thriller, read [book:The Luxe].

Utter mind candy! Read when you want to turn your brain off because it's stressed out and won't relax even when you pour chamomile tea and lavender in your ears.
