i can't remember any time where i was able to sit down with a book and read it front to back like i did with this book. i know it's just trashy mean girls like other reviewers have said, but i'll be damned (no pun intended) if i wasn't entertained from beginning to end.

there's a lot that could have been explored more and i'll admit that the plot was a bit messy, but since this is the first in a series, i'm willing to let that slide a little bit for the fact that i was entranced the entire time. i can't wait to get my hands on the rest of this series.

also, brooklyn having been possessed the whole time? it opens so many doors for the sequels, and i'm so excited to see where this goes!
