Sammy Keyes and the Psycho Kitty Queen

I picked up this book and cringed at both the title and cover. To be honest, I wasn't holding out much hope for this one, but you can't always judge a book by its cover, so I decided I would give it a fair try. 'Sammy Keyes and the Psycho Kitty Queen' is about a young girl, Sammy Keyes, and her friend Holly who discover several dead cats and have some encounters in a nearby wrestling school. I am assuming that they discover who is killing the cats and why, but I don't know for sure because I just couldn't finish it. I gave the book 100 + pages, but could not face the remaining 200 or so. This is very unlike me. Normally I would finish reading even the most inane of books, just to see how it turned out, and in the hope that somewhere along the line it improves. Perhaps the new year has brought around newer demands ...
Sammy Keyes is a feisty protagonist, and the book has been written in a very easy to read style, but it just isn't for me.
