Hmm... Ok, this book wasn't awful. I was upset at first that the entire book wasn't in first person, but actually, Pascal switches back and forth between 1st and 3rd AND she switches between points-of-view of the different characters. Multiple POVs is one of my favorite storytelling vehicles!
I don't think I'd recommend this book for adolescent girls, because there is way too much value placed on sexiness and having boyfriends and stuff--it takes away from the storyline! The book is about a tough girl who can beat the shit out of a zillion people at once, and it just so happens that the bad guys are secretly watching her and sending people to try to beat her up. So I wish they'd get rid of the love shit. It's a really bad example for young women!
I didn't realize this was a series at first. But it is. Which means, of course, that nothing is resolved in the end. That's ok, though. It gives you a little hint at who the bad guys are, but it definitely doesn't tell you what they want with her. Intriguing enough to make me want to read the second one.

"The intro was in 1st person, but the book itself is not. :( We'll see how that works. Otherwise good. She's like a little Sydney Bristow"

I do see your point, Sabrina. And I think that perhaps I didn't clarify enough in my review. What I mean is that pre-teen and teenage girls are soooooooo obsessed with dating and being liked by boys that they fail to see that it's possible to be a happy and successful woman based solely on their own merits. LOVE, in the real world, is a fantastic and amazing thing, and it feels good and it makes us happy. But I'd like to see more heroines who can be fearless and strong without the boyfriend.
She's fearless. Not inhuman.
