12th Lucky Number

I just completed the Skinned trilogy by Robin Wasserman. All three books were good but the third, Wired, was the best, which is very unusual. Typically, in my experience, a series will start out strong but will often fade a bit the further into it you get. I enjoyed both Skinned and Crashed very much but they were a bit bland and boring. There didn't seem to be too much going on in them but Wired was action packed and interesting all the way through. There were several large twists to the story that I never saw coming and a couple of other small twists that I had seen coming but that fit the story real well and helped to tie in some loose ends. I never imagined it ending the way it did and I applaud the author for giving it an ending that is both happy and not at the same time. Definitely a series worth picking up and finishing.
