This time we get a closer look at Jimena. She’s definitely an interesting character, because there’s a lot more to her than meets the eye. And I always enjoy the references to Ancient Greece that factor in to their current problems.

Jimena was my favorite character in the series, but because she's so different than the other characters, she doesn't fit as easily into the format of the other books. Jimena is a reformed gangbanger with a drug addicted mother who abandoned her, a father she never knew, a best friend who was shot
While everyone being all optimistic and kind of cheesy works in the first two novels about girls without any real problems, it doesn't quite work in Jimena's story. The book was at its strongest when Jimena was alone or with her abuela or ex-boyfriend. Her new love interest and the other daughters are living in a much happier and simple world, so they sound more weird / cheesy when they enter Jimena's. That being said, this book did pull an emotional reaction out of me with Jimena and Veto's storyline. For a YA novelist, Ewing did a great job of telling a story about loving someone and losing them and being delusionally desperate to get them back, no matter what.

in a drive-by as a kid, and a gangbanger ex-boyfriend who was murdered on the streets. This background provides her with so much more darkness and maturity than the other girls in the book series, that it requires a tone shift.While everyone being all optimistic and kind of cheesy works in the first two novels about girls without any real problems, it doesn't quite work in Jimena's story.
