[3.5 Stars] I still think the books later in the series are better than the ones in the beginning, but this book fell pretty flat for me and was an ok read. While I’m glad that Maggie is building a relationship with her brother and Racine, it also bothers me why she doesn’t really care about her inability to develop other relationships or at least make an effort while others bend over backwards to make her happy or feel cared for. Plot-wise this book was promising but it also became easy to figure out who the firefly was so it wasn’t that suspenseful. Hopefully the next one will be better.
