Great series for teens

Another awesome adventure of Maggie Quinn, a girl with a special talent for sensing evil. Maggie is now a freshman in college and looking to score herself a spot on the newspaper. She decides to write a series of exposes on what really goes down when you pledge a sorority. But, of course, she discovers a sinister plot brewing at the Sigma Alpha Xi house so she pledges them and tries to find out what kind of evil they are stirring up. This book is a bit more serious than the last- people die and Maggie finds herself in more mature situations, but her wit and humor still take center stage. I love this series of books and recommend it to pretty much any girl 14 and older, especially those who like the paranormal and mysteries.

Great addition to YA collection

Maggie Quinn has certainly charmed me! I ordered both the first and second book in the series and preordered the third and can't wait to get my hands on it. I won't go in to detail with the plot - I'll leave that to better reviewers, but I will strongly recommend the series to not only young adults, but readers of all ages. Maggie is a wonderful character. She's still growing and learning, but she has a good head on her shoulders, great relationship with her family, and knows her mind. These novels are a gem for your YA collection.

Another Fantastic Story From Maggic

If you liked the first book - Prom Dates From Hell - then you'll love this installment. This time, Maggie finds herself immersed in Rush Week and strange goings-on at the sorority house. I thoroughly enjoyed this book - well-written with a fun heroine. I'm really looking forward to the third book.

Veronica Mars meets Bufy...

This is the first book in the series I have read although it's book #2 in the story. I saw it several times, but never got it because it's a hard-cover and I didn't know if I'd like it. (My copy came from the library) This is one of the best books I've read in a long time, while compared to "Buffy", I thought it was more like Veronica Mars fights demons. Maggie is a reporter in her first year of college and looking for someone to give her an anonymous column on the expose of sorority life from the inside, and therefore must go undercover to get the dirt. She also happens to have some psychic powers, which draws a particularly dangerous sorority to her, and she needs to survive long enough to expose the ridiculousness of it all. Helping her is her "almost" boyfriend and her best friend who is away at college in another state learning witchcraft. Very well written, comparisons are modern but not trying to hard. Highly recommended. I'll edit this and write a better review soon.

Courtesy of Teens Read Too

Maggie wants to be a reporter for the college newspaper. When the professor turns her down because she's just a lowly freshman, she goes undercover for a behind-the-scenes look at sororities and Rush. Soon, she's making friends and enemies among the other pledges and asking questions that could seem suspicious. When Maggie finally decides on one house, she comes to realize that there's more to the sisterhood than meets the eye. When the leaders of the sorority make it clear that they like her power, Maggie realizes that there's something supernatural going on behind closed doors. Maggie's curiosity leads her into trouble time and time again, especially now that there are secrets spilling. Can Maggie figure out what's going on and stop it before people get hurt, or will her undercover act be blown wide open? HELL WEEK picks up shortly after PROM DATES FROM HELL. Maggie gets her Nancy Drew on and the suspense adds great tension to the novel. Add in a dash of romance and it's the perfect teen book. Reviewed by: Jennifer Rummel
