" Things really seemed to drag in this one. The story was enjoyable, but there were too many parts that seemed to drag it out. At one point everyone was getting prepared to raid a "baddie" hideout and it just went on and on. Honestly, do we need a 6 page dialogue about how the bust is going to go down? No so much. I want to read about the actual take-down, not the preparation of it. Not to mention one of the baddies must have been related to Freddy Krueger because that guy wouldn't stay down. Rachel is still annoying at times, Ivy still has her "emo vampire sex goddess" thing going, Jenks is still hilarious, Trent is still (for the most part) a mystery, and Al does make an appearance towards the end (which just wasn't enough Al for me. I <3 him). I'm sure I'll grab the next Hallows book the day it's released, but if Rachel doesn't quit annoying the crap out of me I might not continue past the next installment. "
