Description
When fifteen year old Kim Vesco moves from Chicago to Salem, MA, she finds that the local student body is divided into rival factions of witches and non-witches, with both sides bidding for her allegiance. And if that weren't enough, an unknown force seems to want her dead. Between the tribal loyalties of the schoolyard and the brutal, fight or die logic of the mage-war, Kim has to steer a course that will keep her alive until she can take the fight back to her enemy and reveal the true identity of someone she thought she already knew: herself.

between the bottom of the breasts and the middle of the hips that all heroines apparently have to bare these days as they twist in improbable directions. And yes, it’s not like I can avoid that with a different Marvel book (though Rachel Rising is certainly following Echo in not doing that), but the story didn’t grip me enough to keep me reading.
