I liked this book a lot. It was a refreshing story line with a new line of paranormal creatures. The story hooked me and pulled me in. The reason I only gave this book 3 stars though were a few issues surrounding the characters. 1.) Maddie was not a very strong character. I felt the book actually should have focused in on Chase as the main character with Maddie as a supporting actor. She just wasn't super believable and came across very weak for most of the book (and she made some horrible decisions). 2.) I loved Chase. I loved almost everything about him. The only negative with him was his English. He didn't talk like a senior boy in high school would talk and sometimes used words that made me stop reading and actually say "he did not just use that word". 3.) I got the sense that the author wanted the reader to connect with Dougal and be sympathetic towards him. I just couldn't do it. I didn't feel there was enough character development or even plot development around his character to understand who he was or what he was doing until the very end of the book. Overall though, a great book that was a fast read.
