Just finished the first book in the MacKayla Lane series, Dark Fever. Wasn't impressed with the first half. And the character's Barbie-esque attitude was irritating at first. But by the end of the book she was growing on me. And the story actually started to get (a little) deeper than just "avenge the dead sister"... So, I think I'll read book 2 and hope that the characters get a little more 3-dimensional and that the plot becomes a little less predictable. (It could happen.)
