|Actual rating| 3.5

This book took me by surprise since when I started reading it, I knew nothing about it. I thought it was going to be about southern belles, pageants and a kick ass female leader. At least I was right about this part. This book, written by Rachel Hawkins, author of the Hex Hall series, is nothing like it. It still has humor, sense of friendship and some kick ass moves. Although it was an enjoyable read, it didn't blew me away. It has a really interesting plot, nice characters but somehow I think the story could have been more developed. Of course the end leaves room for a sequel. And I'm curious to see where Rachel Hawkins goes with this plot and set of characters.

|PLUS| Twisted ending.
|MINUS| The story felt short in the sense of development of the plot.
