I'm not going to lie to you readers, I never thought of picking up any of Meg Cabots books because I felt like they were too young for me, and to be honest the covers were too girly and made me feel like a 12 year old when I even looked at them.
But while at work one day I realised that I didn;t have a book with me to read, so like any other bookworm I headed over to the discount bookstore by my work and looked round.
I found Jinx in the sale section and for once it didn't have a super girly cover, but had a cover that would be okay to read on a bus and not feel weird about.
Jean is a girl who always has bad luck. As the title suggests shes a jinx and when she arrives at her families house in New York to escape a staulker from her old home town, her bad luck is only just beginning. Tory, Jeans cousin, is heavily into witch craft and has made it her personally mission to make Jeans life a misery.
I never really pick up witchy books, I mean I read sweep series by Cate Tiernan, but that's as far as my experience goes, and the edition of Jinx that I brought doesnt have a blerb. I didn't know when I picked it up what it was about but thought its a teen book why not?
To be honest, It wasn't bad. Admittedly it took me around 4 weeks to read it in the middle of other books and projects that I've been doing. I wouldn't call this book the best book I've read but at only 260 pages, it was a easy read, with a compelling story, simple story line and simple dymatic. Theres a few principle characters but not enough to get confused and just seems like a glorified short story. Saying that, I think this book is worth more as a borrow from a library then a buy. At £5.99 in most bookstores is a little steep for what it is, I'm thankful I only paid 99p for it!
Thank you for reading!
