The second adventure of Maggie Quinn, teen psychic is even better than the first book. The events of the first book have caused a rift between Maggie and her best friend, her powers are getting greater, and her maybe boyfriend is being all weird. The book hits the ground running as Maggie goes undercover to skewer the world of Sorority life. But this is a modern fantasy novel in the vein of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, so naturally Maggie ends of in the Sorority that has dealings with supernatural powers. Also, Maggie makes a very funny joke that is also a massive spoiler for the TV series ANGEL, so watch that before reading this book, but you should totally do both.
One of my favorite aspects of the book is that Maggie is allowed to screw up a little. She is seduced by the advantages suddenly afforded her just for being a member of the popular club. She doesn't go full Mean Girl, but what she does seems a lot more realistic. She's a smart, capable person who is getting unexpectedly positive attention everywhere she turns. Who wouldn't enjoy it if they suddenly started getting the recognition and breaks they thought they deserved? It would be enough to distract anyone from noticing that there is some serious demon worshippy stuff going on.
If you like the idea of College secret societies, but always wanted the characters to be much more relateable and the power source more supernatural, then this is the book for you.
8.5 out of 10
