This is the only Meg Cabot creation I've "read." It was ok. I found the lead character's gullibility quite annoying- especially as the novel wore on. I mean when will this girl EVER learn! Other than that, I can understand the appeal that the story would have for many teenage girls. Classic good girl- bad girl story.
I think I found this book on a "magical realism" list but honestly, I'm not sure if it's magical realism or just the realism about magic if that makes sense. There wasn't much of a commitment to magic more so than the characters' belief (or lack) in it. Pretty standard YA novel, but I guess my expectations were too high.

Delightfully Cabot-y, with no real substance but a quick and fun read nonetheless. Witch vs. Witch, a smack of romance, and plenty of snooty high school mean girl to go around. If it came to blows I'd pick Devilish by Maureen Johnson over this title any day, but that said, I'm not disappointed in the two hours I spent reading this fun witchy fluff.

OMG I loved this book. The ending gave me chills right down to the bone and I feel so intune with the character. We were so compatible it was scary!
C'est frais, c'est facile à lire, on rentre bien dans l'histoire, c'est pour ça que j'adore les livres de Meg Cabot. Ce livre est plutôt adressé à un lectorat adolescent (ou adolescente devrait-je dire), mais c'est toujours un plaisir à lire. Jade, l'héroine, est quelqu'un à qui on s'attache vite, et on a hâte de découvrir ce qu'il va pouvoir lui arriver. C'est trop vite fini! Une lecture amusante :-)
