Pretenders - Lisi Harrison

HAH. HAHAHAHAH. 

Okay.

 

This book was junk. Honestly. We're supposed to be concerned with these students because they're supposedly the top five freshman in their high school, right? The "Phoenix Five"? Well, the Phoenix Five aren't supposed to even be nominated until April in their school year.

 

This book ends mid-October!

 

It was just terrible. I'm still reeling from the fact that there was a blatant reference to Monster High--who talks about one of their books in one of their other books?--and I wanted to pull my hair out every time Vanessa said "FOE NO YOU DIZN'T". The HECK is that even supposed to mean??

 

So done. The "cliffhanger" was just lazy writing. I'm not even going to bother reading the second book--and I hate leaving a series unfinished. But this? UGH. I just can't do it again.
