Thoughts: Okay so while I enjoyed it I don't wanna scream at everyone to read it because it's so brilliant.. that said there was nothing wrong with it.
It was more a mystery of the kids rather then Misty's death and the Elite, kinda felt it should be the other way round.
I did love Chace, but his whole tortured-self depreciating-martyr act was irritating, especially with it being so unnecessary. Yeah okay he didn't stick to the law and do what a good cop should but at the end of the day, he wasn't an arsehole himself, he was made to do it to protect his mum, get over it. Can't really find fault with Faye though, she had backbone when she needed it, yet she was still a cute and shy bookworm. Does irritate me a bit that all KA heroines could be interchanged, the 'honey'ing really grates on me, they all start off well but then they start with the honey and it's usually the death of their individuality. Chace finding everything she did 'cute' wound me up no end.
SpoilerI'm disappointed in myself for not making the connection to the Rock Chicks with the 'righteous' hint. I must admit, I assumed that was gonna be another 'honey' and be used by everyone, it didn't even occur to me that it could BE a Rock Chick. Fucking loved the Ally crossover! Of course she started digging, it's Ally. I'm reading this and the Rock Chicks more or less alongside each other, depending on who I feel like when, the hints at Darius in the blurb gave me a bit of hope for him but this showed that just to be a shit show, though I did check and Ally's book was released after this...
