The Merciless by Danielle Vega

4.0

This book was a quick read. It was okay. The story/plot line was a mix of Mean Girls, the Heathers, and some other teen witch occult book/movie. It started out interesting, with a beginning plot twist of the dead cat. You are hooked because you want to know who did it. You actually have several options. The author had successfully executed hooking the reader and for the reader to not know answers till the end....but then the language and violence between the teen girls was not believable any more. It became silly and excessive. The main character seemed to be so helpless. It was annoying because she was supposed to be this demon/devil/pure evil....and ended up being kind of lame. Like after all the mean girls died...she suddenly remembered, 'oh yeah, I like killing people and I lust after the taste of blood.' The end was built up and then fell short in wrapping up the story. It seemed forced.
