Jinx by Meg Cabot

4.0

Now that exams are over and I'm home for Christmas, I found myself in the mood for light reading. I have always found Meg Cabot's books perfect for that. They are so easy to just pick up and get into right away. Until fairly recently I had only ever read her MEDIATOR series, which I adore. But my sister is a huge fan of Meg Cabot, so her bookshelf had plenty to choose from. I have now read the first three books in THE PRINCESS DIARIES. But I wanted a change, so I grabbed JINX next.

Not disappointed at all. I picked it up and was immediately absorbed into Jean's world through Meg Cabot's easy first-person narrative. And this book was not what I was expecting at all. I know Meg Cabot can do supernatural. I just had no idea that that was where THIS book was going. But I liked it.

I just wish her heroines would NOTICE when a guy likes them. I mean, Mia thought it was so out of the realm of possibility that Michael might like her, and then when he FINALLY tells her, she thinks he's joking. And Suze? Well...that was a little more complicated, given the whole ghost thing and whatnot. Anyway, I still found the romance in this book as cute as can be, as always. Fun read. And now I am in a witch mood and am turning to [a:Diana Wynne Jones|4260|Diana Wynne Jones|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1193516584p2/4260.jpg] and HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE.
