A witness to the brutal slaying of a Senator's aide, Christy finds herself watched not only by the killers and the FBI, but also by two hot boys.
She discovers that if she can't help the FBI, who want to protect her, it will cost her and her new friends their lives.
My view on the main character Christy was a roller coaster. One second I thought she was okay and then the next second I couldn't stand her. She would make decisions that she knew was wrong but just say 'Oh whatever' of course I mean that figuratively. Another gripe I had was it seemed like a 13 year old wrote the book with the poor judgment, having two boys like her was very cliché, and those two boys carried her around frequently.
The worst part was I wanted to like this book and I would start to get into it but then something would be said or done and I would feel like throwing my tablet (what I was reading the book on) against the wall.
I couldn't stand Christy sometimes! Here's a list of the things that annoyed me the most. Don't forget she's only fifteen.
1. She went to a club just to impress a guy. She even pretended to drink alcohol to impress him.
2. She says the only reason to applied for the trip and fully paid scholarship was to (and this isn't an exact quote) 'get out of the house' and get away from her parents. She wants change because she was known as a nerd and picked on back home. But keep in mind when she's explaining to the other kids in her group how she doesn't really care for the political and educational value her roommate who could have used the scholarship and deserved it more than Christine did is sitting right beside her.
I felt like some of the characters lacked substance sometimes. I would have really liked to learn more about Rick. Also the book never went into who the 'Ice man' was that watches her though out the book. I really feel like he should have had a bigger part in the book and he would have been an interesting character if he had.
The grammar is this book was HORRIBLE. I really think the author should have found a better editor. There was misinformation in the book that kept bothering me.
This was a trip for Juniors in high school but at one part they didn't seem to know there was a HUGE FBI HEADQUARTERS in DC. That was one of the many face palm moments. Maybe times have changed but it seemed like Hogan had never been on a youth trip back in her day. There was a lack of security, and I don't mean security guards but the fact that these kids could just come and go at night without anyone noticing was ridiculous. I know on my trips there was tape on the doors after curfew and the night hotel staff was on the lookout for teenagers running around.
Now I will talk about Jeremy, one of the FBI agents with the task of watching and keeping Christy safe. I personally really enjoyed his character and wish he had a bigger presence.
