Jinx

Meg Cabot

3.56 AVERAGE


Jean has an issue with luck. Actually they avoid each other entirely! Jean has such bad luck that her family had nicknamed her Jinx.

Jinx has decided to try and put all of her bad luck behind her when she moves to Manhattan to live with her Aunt and Uncle. Unfortunately Jinx doesn’t quite fit in with her trendy cousin Tory and her friends.

Tory has been practicing witchcraft with a small coven of her friends ever since she heard the story of the families "possession" of the craft. Once Tory realizes that Jinx also posses the gift she invites her to join her coven. Knowing the kind of bad things that playing with magic leads too, Jinx refuses.

Tory takes the refusal as a snub and sees Jinx as a threat. It also doesn’t help that Jinx has befriended Zach, the cute neighbor boy, who Tory has had a long time crush on. So now Tory makes it her personal goal to make Jinx miserable. When Tory finds out how Jinx’s gift exceeds her own, she will stop at nothing to have it! There is a cauldron bubbling over with jealousy if you ask me!

Meg had written yet another fast-paced, funny read and of course included her blend of wit and romance! It was a fun supernatural read! If you are a Meg Cabot fan you won’t be disappointed!


Very enjoyable!

loved it so much

I love the elements of The Craft within this novel. It's like The Craft Lite, for the youths. Meg Cabot, from what I can tell, definitely has a distinct writing style. This was a quick read partially because it is light on the details. I gave it 5 stars because I like a light, fast read sometimes and this really hit the spot. Did I mention that I love how how similar it is to The Craft?

This was my first time reading Meg Cabot. I kind of expected more juvenile-girly writing, but I really enjoyed it! I thought it was an interesting story that delve into witchcraft without it getting all occult and weird. I can see why young girls like her writing. This book was fun, and clean, and a had great story line.

This was pretty light and cute. I hadn't expected to like it as much as I did.

Even though Zach was almost too cute and Jean was almost too naive, it really all came together half way as they each started showing their true colors, along with Gretchen, Torrance and the whole cast of characters.

another ok-ish

A really good summer read when you are just sitting outside in the backyard and it is really nice outside. The girl is pretty relate able and the lead guy is awesome.
