After telekinetic, event making a basketball go into a hoop Bobby's life took a tailspin.
I am sorry to say I did start out sort of judging this book from the cover. I thought it looked a little as if an amateur had done it, which made it look a vaguely childish.
I found the plot hard to believe. I was wondering why this supposedly intelligent teen believed anything and everything he had been told. Honestly if I was a teenager I think I would be insulted. He had a character talk to him about things within his life he had never heard before. Later another character told him the first character was lying. He believed each character's story and explanations without real proof just because they told him that was the way things were.
On the positive side the pace of the story was good and it flowed well. It was an easy read with some interesting characters. I liked Jinx.
I will also say as a general rule I am against cliffhangers. I am fine with a story finishing and then picking up with the same characters in a second or third installment, but I feel when reading a book it should actually end.
Overall I gave this book 2 stars out of 5.
