Instead of doing Arabic homework last night, I read Maureen Johnson's Devilish. This is the fourth book by Johnson I have read this year. I have to say this is my least favorite of the four books. It's not that this book was bad; in fact I found the story to be engaging but it comes down to the fact that I felt this book ended in an odd place. It seemed to me like there needed to be another chapter to sort of tie up some loose ends.
Anyway, the story. Jane goes to an all girls school. She's super smart and pretty much has it together, although she's not quite over being dumped by her ex-boyfriend. Jane's best friend, Allison, is kind of a spazz. Well, she is until one day she comes to school completely remade and has no time for Jane. Then Jane discovers that Ally's sold her soul to a demon. Can Jane help her friend defeat evil or will Ally become a demon?
