Lots of adjectives can be applied to this novel - mean, smutty, decadent - all of them compliments Booklist Lauren Kate's first novel is an entertaining high-school thriller that's fairly loosely based on Macbeth. A fun read for fans of this talented author The Bookbag 20101220 Think Macbeth meets Gossip Girl -- Natasha Harding The Sun 20110223 I enjoyed this book very much; it's Twilight turned High School Musical (minus the singing).
