Dime Store Magic by Kelley Armstrong
4.0
It really, really bugs me to read a series out of order, but I started with this one because it seemed to not heavily feature the characters in the first two books. I may revise this opinion later, when I catch up.
I liked most of this story; I thought it was enjoyable, well-written and an easy read. I really enjoyed the world-building aspect, which is something I don't usually comment on in a review but I feel like it was so well done that I have to make an exception. I am not sure it even counts as world building since it's supposed to be a secret society type thing hidden in our society, but I had no problem coming into it, which I think is a good sign since I'm coming into the middle (or late beginning, anyway) of the series.
I docked the star because I didn't like Paige. She was too dumb to live half the time and annoying the other half and Savannah was kind of bratty too so that's pretty much my whole reasoning for docking the star. If she'd just been a little less obnoxious, I could have felt justified giving it the full five stars.
