I have to say, my review of this book will be biased because I am friends with the author. It's part of the Poison Apple series that was a shoot off from the Candy Apple series of books. It's meant to entice the younger sisters of the readers of Twilight and other goth/vampire novels. Zoe and Mia visit a fortune teller at a carnival in Portland, OR and because of Zoe's bad attitude she is cursed when the fortune teller decides to give her a strange necklace. Zoe and Mia must find a way to destroy the cursed necklace and save Zoe's life from misfortune.
The book was suspenseful, had a strong friendship story, embarrassing crush moments and curses that lead the action along. I would say its definitely a young girl read and would be perfect for the set that has graduated from Beginning Chapter books, but not quite ready for full-length novels.
