The pacing of this story was painfully slow and the co-villain came out of nowhere. The characters (particularly the secondary characters) were not developed enough to make them interesting. This is obviously a set-up for the remaining friends of Giulia Pepper, but they weren't differentiated enough to make me want to read the future books.
There wasn't enough information given about Giulia's mother to make her believable or understandable. And the secondary villain? What was his motivation? Bizarre! Overall score = G.
