Definitely not the worst book I have ever read, but definitely not the best. This put an interesting spin on the YA genre, with a cult and kind of religious following that has gone very wrong. I did not read Gated first and I thought that it really was not a problem - Parker explains the whole previous situation and I actually felt that the book started really strong considering. The writing style was not great, I felt that Parker could have gone a little bit deeper into some of the details of the whole situation. It was written for a very young audience and I think the language and content of the book really reflects that. The ending was pretty anticlimactic for me and I wish it had been a little better resolved. It kinda just ended on a rather happy note. I think that Parker could have made the story a lot darker and a lot more dramatic given the subject content. All in all, I will now read Gated and be done with this series, never to open either one of them again.
