I dont like a book where most of the teens angst is due to a parent not telling them the whole story or keeping it from them for the teens sake. In fact I dont like it in an adult book either. That said, I did enjoy the storyline. Its nice to see a paranormal that deals with other traits than those of a vamp or shifter.
I didnt like the character of Krystal in the beginning as she was the typical 15 year old, moody, whiny and a brat. However, as she settled more into her new school and made friends with others who had the same mysterious M mark on them, it was enlightening to see her come to care about others as they try to solve the mystery of Rickys death. I loved seeing her deal with her ability to talk to the dead but was disappointed that she didnt seem to be inclined to go to her mom or the police about the strange texts she got. She and the other Misfits begin to understand a bit more about their powers as they solve the mystery. I think this new type of paranormal will be a hit with the teens as what teenager hasnt felt they were a misfit at some time in their life. Cant wait to read more in this series as I suspect there may be other Misfits who do not use their power for good but for evil purposes.
