On Friday, I received a box of new books from Random House. They send them frequently, to promote the new books they have--usually for children and teens. I picked up the pink book and took it home.
The pink book was Hell Week by Clement-Moore. It was cute, fun, and had a nice twist to it. Most of all, it made me think about all of you! Maggie Quinn, the heroine, is starting college at a small liberal-arts school, and is going through Rush. What she finds out is a fun, supernatural romp in the world of greek sororities. Definitely for those who like Buffy, the Vampire Slayer(which, by the way, I've never seen).
Sure, it wasn't magical or spellbinding like Twilight or Harry Potter was for me, and it definitely isn't fine lit, but I liked it. It was funny, and I actually laughed out loud at some moments. It might be that it was just too easy for me to imagine all these things happening in Herrick Hall, but the similarities to the Chi-O house was interesting. One thing that totally had me chuckling was the Initiation closet, where all the initiation things were kept---and the author makes a joke about how this secret closet also holds all the Christmas decorations, too.
From pledge books to white tapers, you'll find it here. If you want a fluffy light read with a supernatural flavor, you'll enjoy this girl vs. evil book.
