Review: Stalked: Secret Salem Book 1 by JN Colon

Rubi is sent to a snotty private school in Salem where strange and violent things happen.  Murders and vampires.

It was a pretty quick read.  I liked the basic premise and setting.  I was frustrated a LOT though by the fact this is a private school where multiple students have been killed and there are no police, no media, no upset parents, no raised security and a bunch of rather superficial underdeveloped characters with no real grief for their murdered friends.  

So I say, the ideas are there but more time needs to be spent on character development - honestly all the rich kids could have been one and the same for all the individuality I saw, releasing clues along the way so the reader can feel involved and not just holding them ALL out for the grand reveal scene (which was interesting). 

Am hoping the next one in the series is better at both beside the ideas, as I said, ARE there.
