Disclosure: I know Tina and I am mentioned by name in the back of this book.

I think Tina nailed the timing and structure of this book. The revelation of how to solve a problem came to me as a reader about two pages before it came to Cam, which is great. That particular solution is wonderful and clever.

It was a fun book to read and I'm looking forward to the next one. (

Fluff. But I wanted a change in diet this week. And it reminded me of Janette Rallison's fluff so it was fun. Not quite sure why it was cataloged as Adult fiction though. (

This was an odd read. I enjoyed it but at the same time I did not. I'm giving it an extra star for originality, as I found that the best part of the book. Would recommend this to others. (

This was fun. Wicked witches, complicated spells, dragons and demons, pixies and werewolves. Plus algebra, high school cliques, a crush, and having to make some decisions about who you trust. A nice mix of the fantastic and all-too-real.

There were times when the high school angst got to me a bit - the book is very definitely YA - but I think it's perfect for its intended audience. (

Book description

The hilarious new YA from acclaimed author Tina Connolly.

Camellia's adopted mother wants Cam to grow up to be just like her. Problem is, Mom's a seriously wicked witch.

Savvy Cam has tons of practice thwarting the witch's crazy schemes. But when the witch summons a demon to control the city, he gets loose―and into the cute new boy in Tenth Grade. Now Cam's determined to stop the demon before he destroys the new boy's soul. Which means she might have to try a spell of her own. But if she's willing to work spells like the witch. . .will it mean she's wicked too? With the demon squashing pixies, girls becoming zombies, and the school one spell away from exploding in phoenix flame, Cam has to realize that wicked doesn't lie in your abilities, but in your choices.
