'Jinx' by Meg Cabot


Jean Honeychurch hates her boring name (not Jean Marie, or Jeanette, just . . . Jean)but she loathes her too-appropriate nickname - Jinx - even more. Misfortune seems to follow her everywhere she goes—which is why she's thrilled to be moving in with her aunt and uncle in New York City. Maybe when she's halfway across the country, Jinx can finally outrun her bad luck. Or at least escape the havoc she's caused back in her small hometown.
But trouble has definitely followed Jinx to New York. And it's causing big problems for her cousin Tory, who is not happy to have the family black sheep around. Beautiful, glamorous Tory is hiding a dangerous secret—one that she's sure Jinx is going to reveal.
Jinx is beginning to realize it isn't just bad luck she's been running from. It's something far more sinister . . . and the curse Jinx has lived under since the day she was born might just be the only thing that can save her life.
I enjoyed Jinx, it was a good fairly light read and had a satisfactory ending. Loving the supernatural themes at the mo'...
