I really enjoyed this novel and am still a bit surprised that it still hasn't been made into a movie. I thought the concept was pretty creative, and this first novel in particular was well told.

On the other hand, I do feel that the series drops off a bit in the subsequent books. They all connect seamlessly, and the stories are all satisfying, just not as engaging as some of its contemporary YA novels.
  
This was my first of this author's books, and I went in absolutely blind. I chose the book randomly from the library and didn't realize it was a companion to another novel until I started digging into it. The story drew me in instantly and the set up was creative and gave the story an interesting flow. I really enjoyed this one and I plan to go on to read lock in!
