Predictable but enjoyable given that it is a young adult book. I read the first book in this series so I was already invested and thus have to see it through to the end.
Without the character intros we hop right into a great mystery. Wish it actually ended how you think but the real ending is just as good. It could have just been the end so I don't know where she's going from here.
