2.5 StarsThis would be a really good series if it was about the supernatural. The Miranda/Perry and the Kylie/Derek/Lucas thing is getting a little hard to take. Especially the stuff with Lucas. You want to like him, but he is a jerk. He has double standards and he gets mad when he does not get his way. Every time Kylie gives in and overlooks his flaws, it is too reminiscent of an abusive relationship where one partner keeps going back. I think with a lot of editing this series could have actually have been a really top-notch series. *Step into Shadow Falls, a camp for teens with supernatural powers. Here friendship thrives, love takes you by surprise, and our hearts possess the greatest magic of all.*Kylie Galen wants the truth so badly she can taste it. The truth about who her real family is, the truth about which boy she’s meant to be with—and the truth about what her emerging powers mean. But she’s about to discover that some secrets can change your life forever…and not always for the better.Just when she and Lucas are finally getting close, she learns that his pack has forbidden them from being together. Was it a mistake to pick him over Derek? And it’s not just romance troubling Kylie. An amnesia-stricken ghost is haunting her, delivering the frightful warning, *someone lives and someone dies. *As Kylie races to unravel the mystery and protect those she loves, she finally unlocks the truth about her supernatural identity, which is far different—and more astonishing—than she ever imagined.### ReviewPraise for the Shadow Falls series:“The Shadow Falls series belongs to my favorite YA series. It has everything I wish for in a YA paranormal series. A thrilling tale that moves with a great pace, where layers of secrets are revealed in a way that we are never bored.
