This book isn't what you would expect, if you read the excerpt at the end of Midnight Howl. I pre-ordered this book from Arrow and got it a week ago. It's a fast read, I read it twice on a Saturday morning.
This book is different from the other poison apples. For one, when they mean "Emma never seems to get caught, but Anna does." they mean it in a very serious way. Terrible, cruel things Emma does. For two, Anna actually gets in trouble, not a simple detention but a weeks in school suspension. And third, the love interest in this story is a little stronger than the other poison apples, but I wish they would include a kiss. Most tweens these days watch pg-13 and 14+, so a kiss is nothing more than something to make the story more intense, and a lot more passionate.
If you've read the excerpt and think that the club (Jessamyn and her Hench Women) has a lot to do with the story, not really. Actually, it's a prank that goes wrong, but the vision Anna says she sees is Emma coming out of the mirror.
Over all, it's a great story. Mimi McCoy went the extra mile to get a more biting novella that has bigger complications. 4 out of 5.

This story started off very well as it plausibly explained the difficulties of a child being without a friend. But then the story took a very unplausible turn attempting to justify an imaginary friend that's not actually imaginary but, in fact, a real evil spirit. The story lacked cohesion.
