Maggie Quinn: Girl Vs. Evil #1-2
Brimstone
Slinking down the streets, hiding in the shadows, always lurking just out of sight, evil follows Maggie Quinn. It's no ordinary, everyday evil, either—it's Evil with a capital E, and whatever's behind it, it clearly wants Maggie.
But Maggie isn't the type of girl to go down without a fight. She has a few powerful tricks up her sleeve, not to mention a best friend who's a witch, and she's declaring open season on demons.

I really did enjoy Brimstone which in fact is two novels in one book, Maggie Quinn vs. Evil #1 and #2.
The first book, Prom dates from Hell, was more of a 2 star book. It was quite Nancy Drew like and made many references to such. Although elementary and light, it was entertaining...which is why most of us read!
The second book, Hell Week, flowed better and had more meat to the story. Maybe because I was already invested in the main characters and maybe I just enjoyed Maggie the college student more than Maggie the high school senior. I would rate this book alone, 4 stars.
So Brimstone gets an average of 3 stars. Will I read book 3, most definitely!

Oh.My.Gosh. This book was absolutely amazing and terrifying. The first story was Prom Dates from Hell; and this was the one that chilled me to the bone. Mainly because of the summoned demon's success at 'ruining the lives' of his assigned victims. Hell Week was also amazing, it didn't focus so much on the "Evil with a capital E" but it makes me want to stay away from sororities.

This is a fun book - I really liked the writing style and the narrative voice. The protagonist's relationships are also a great, solid, part of the book.

Prom Dates From Hell:
Maggie is learning to deal with psychic powers, bullying, demonic entities, and dating jitters, all in the run up to prom. There's banter, red herrings, and vital friendships all spicing up a tale that feels like an episode of Buffy. I enjoyed this story, and I'd recommend it to anyone who loves a badass female protagonist and is nostalgic for supernatural shows like Buffy.
Hell Week:
Maggie is back, and this time she's infiltrating a shady sorority for an investigative series she's writing for the paper. It starts as a conventional tale of a misfit exploring the hyper-conformity of the Greek system, but soon Maggie is doubting her supernatural abilities and forgetting her Nancy Drew duties. The adventure makes her rely on old friends and new "sisters" as her luck runs out and initiation threatens the safety of more than just the pledges. Getting things back to normal will require the intersection of math and magic. This was a fun addition to the series, and I enjoyed it. Maggie does have a tendency in this one to describe things as "girly" in a derogatory way and imply that being girly is bad/wrong a few times. I hope she outgrows that tendency. I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys adventure in everyday places, especially with a touch of magic.

I love Rosemary! We went to college together for two years and were in the same sorority, which makes Hell Week extra awesome. Maggie is such a likable character. I see bits of me and a lot of who is wish I could be in her. All of the witty quips and geeky references are a reader's delight, so I show them to my students. As an author, I only dream that I will write like her one day.
Rosemary is great and you can find her at many local and national conventions. She recently made an appearance at the North Texas Teen Book Festival, and so many happy teens were able to see her awesomeness up close and personal.

I loved these two stories in the one book! I am SO a new Rosemary Clement-Moore fan! I've just bought all her other books to read this weekend, I love the humour and stories in these books. The romance is not soppy or overdone (in fact it's hardly there at all really) which is a refreshing and wonderful thing. I will be reading all this author's books from here on :)

Maybe it was just, because the cover was ugly, but I didn't like the book already, when I started it. I still finished though, because I don'T give up on books, but no.. this whole college Thing confused me and just no

Good strong female lead with two great stories combined in this book. Hopefully with more to come.

I was unexpectedly surprised by Clement-Moore's Brimstone. The book was playful, fast-paced, flirty, and a fun read. Not for someone looking for a serious read, but a great break from reality.
