I adored it! I adored the story, the characters, the friendships, the found family aspect, the atmosphere, the mystery, the witchy magic, the small town setting. It has so many things I love in books, and I had no idea before I started reading! Aaaaaah! Finally, after almost 10 years, I understand the hype. Can't wait to continue the series. 
(I have to say, I could live without the "love" plot. Luckily, it's not very present. And I hope it won't become... love triangly. But I'm curious if it will actually mean what everyone thinks it means, or if there will be some twists there.)
