I'm not a big reader of YA, but THIS was a thrilling exception.  This book dares to pose the question, what if the Mean Girls who stereotypically make a plaything of outcasts in other media actually genuinely had some witchy weirdo's back in a ride-or-die kind of way?  And the answer is a group of morally grey menaces with such ferocious affection for each other you can't help but adore them all.  This book throws you into the thick of things from page one and leaves you desperately wanting more.  I can't wait to read the rest of the series!
