Good read but simply not as good as past titles by this author IMHO. It read relatively slow until I reached the halfway point (simply couldn't keep my attention because it moved so slow and predictably -- boy meets girl boy likes girl girl likes boy both have seemingly overwhelming obstacles to overcome before they can show that they like each other). The good things are that this is a new series that includes several characters from previous titles along with the introduction of several new characters. Interesting incorporation of online RPG and IRL therapy to boost self-esteem. The bad things are that it seemed to move very slow until almost at the halfway point. In addition I had figured out who the serial killer was about half-way through the book. Hope future titles aren't so predictable.
