I was a little worried at first that maybe this was just going to be a sort of typical teenage/young adult whine-fest sort of book. It started off a little bit "mean-girlsy" for me. But in all honesty, that really is how high school girls are a lot of the time. Trust me, I know, I substitute teach part time at an all girls private school!

i liked it. definitely enough to pick up the next book - it was an easy read for me, and i liked gemma. i did not like ann very much, but felicity is amusing (in a good way) and pippa has an interesting storyline.

A fun quick read. I thought of it as a girl version of Harry Potter with a little bit of Twilight thrown in (no vampires, but same fast story line). Great read between heavier books.
never finished this book. gave to a teen patron, but it kind of dragged for me and had trouble getting into it.

I love this book so far...it's like Luxe, Private and some supernatural thing all wound into one.

This ended up being a good book but the story took sometime to start moving.
