I happen to be a fan of YA literature.  I read enough of it when I was a young adult then a few years back, when I went back to school, I had to take a Childhood Lit class.  What a blast. I went into this book expecting nothing.  I had just read book one of the Beautiful Creatures trilogy, so I had an open mind about reading this.
