While I was a fan of her other stand alone Art Geeks & Prom Queens, and her Immortal series, this book felt too familiar to The Immortals. Now while I appreciate an author stepping out of their comfort zone and writing about another culture with the main character of mixed races, but I also felt like the author was confused or given false information between the Native American culture and the Hispanic culture. The book plot doesn't pick up until you get towards the end of the book. I've reading the second book in the series and I very curious as to how the rest is played out. The cover is what drew me to the book the most, I felt like the whole series was pretty much laid out by first half of the book, the author gave too much of the background of the world pretty similar to Stephenie Meyer. Too much telling, and now I get it when I'm told I tell instead of show.
