While the content and actual story of this issue in the series is actually somewhat entertaining and new; the author falls back into the same boring patterns and I'm once again reading a pithy, whinging orphan who has herself caught up in the Blair Witch drama and sits around waiting for a guy she just met, but is apparently already madly in love with, to save her life. Currently I'm reading The Hunger Games, with the lead character written as a strong, highly independent young woman. Whoever wrote these awful Blair Witch books has some romanticized view of teenage relationships that have no depth or realism.

Again; predictable. But for once not everyone died; someone just ended up in a coma for awhile.

This installment dealt with shapeshifters; but not very convincingly. And once again; everything comes off as skeptical questioning. Not as boring as the previous six; but I still wouldn't go as far to say as I liked it. ( )
