it started really good then got bad i am really disapointed honestly also you can tell that this book was written in 2011 there are some problematic things and it has the usual ya fantasy tropes (tbh if it wasn't for the that cliffhanger in the end i wouldn't read the rest of the series and have given this book 2 stars i think)
Graphic: Animal cruelty, Death, Gun violence, Mental illness, Grief, Murder, and Injury/Injury detail
Moderate: Medical content, Kidnapping, and Sexual harassment

quillify_'s review against another edition
The mystery aspect was intriguing, Noah Shaw was cute but annoying most of the time. But I absolutely lost it when the author decided that Mara's mother would be from India and then decided to name her Indi. *slow claps* how original. JFC, just use a baby name website for naming your South Asian characters.
God, this is why I hate 2010 era books. Comfort reads? More like subtly racist reads that are comfortable because they cater to a white audience.
