I hate to be THAT person, I seriously do...but I was not feeling this at all. The concept is great and the spooky intentions are there...but the writing was absolutely distracting. When your author uses an simile like "panels on the back sides of the wings were all straight up like Paula Abdul," you've got a problem. The writing was pretty unbearable sometimes and I found the writer's voice silly, especially considering the intensity of the book. It's a fun story if weird word choice doesn't bother you though!
