2.0
This one is not nearly as good as the other two I've listened to of this series (1st and 5th) and I believe I am done with Jenna and the gang now. This one made me suspend belief way more than the other two more believable books in the series I've read/listened to. I can suspend belief easily when I know I am reading a paranormal book. This one is a forensic mystery so suspension of belief was difficult.
The premise of the storyline is the main character is a lot like an amped up Nancy Drew. Other problems I had: The narrative was drawn out and made the cops look really inept, the murderer caused racial tension on campus by attacking at night...the racial tension was prevalent in the beginning and then dissipated rather quickly and there was no curfew on campus even after several people had been killed. A lot of the storyline just didn't gel with me.
That's not to say I will stop reading this author. I know he' s got a ton of other books/series that pique my interest and I will gladly look for them.
