The story is essentially enjoyable, but some of the characters have gone stale. Dani is a great character, but the story told from her perspective—the prose used—is incredibly irritating. I know it's meant to sound like a kid, but it's over the top. There was too much telling and not enough showing: it seemed like certain situations were contrived just so a conversation could take place that explained things. I usually like first-person storytelling, but here it grated. If there's going to be such detailed, long dialogue, I think third-person works better; otherwise, it just doesn't make sense to me.

I keep hearing the series has ended—and indeed, this book certainly feels like a conclusion, of sorts—but more *fever books keep getting published. I'm kinda confused, but I'll keep reading. O.o Speaking of conclusions, it felt very, very weird to me to omit resolution between Dani and Mac from this book.
