Publisher Description

When her free-spirited mother dies in a tragic accident, sixteen-year-old Alexandria Lee is forced to leave her West Coast home and move in with a wealthy grandmother she's never known in Savannah, Georgia. By birth, Alex is a rightful if unwilling member of the Magnolia League-Savannah's long-standing debutante society. But white gloves and silk gowns are a far cry from the vintage t-shirts and torn jeans shorts she's used to.

Alex is the first in decades to question the Magnolia League's intentions, yet even she becomes entangled in their seductive world. The members enjoy youth, beauty and power...but at what cost? As Alex discovers a pact between the Magnolias and the Buzzards, a legendary hoodoo family, she discovers secrets-some deadly-hidden beneath the glossy Southern veneer.

New York Times bestselling author Katie Crouch's poignant and humorous voice shines in this enchanting and mysterious story about girls growing up in a magical Southern city.

"I was privileged enough to get an advanced reader copy of this book. As far as YA fiction goes, I think it's well-written, and the hoodoo aspect was well represented. I live near Savannah, and the history and information incorporated into the stories make it very special. The story was better developed than the first, and it was all in all a pleasant read. Highly recommended."

    " I can see why some people don't like this series, but for me it's fun fluffy reading. But because so many of the characters are extremely focused on appearances, it's something you'd probably want to be a little cautious about recommending to actual teenagers. "

    " This is a story about some girls in an elite group who use spells to keep themselves beautiful. One girls has lost her mother but can hear her in the wall of her house and knows she is in the in-between and seeks to release her to get her back from death. She works with Sina to form a plan. Unfortunately, Sina is out to destroy their group and uses this girl to do that. Strong friendships are a part of this story as well as hoodoo and evil. The story kept me wanting to read, but if you are not comfortable with casting spells, dealing with the dead, and voodoo, this book is not a good choice for you. It was a little creepy at times, and a little sad to think that people can't be who they are--- maybe there is a little moral here. "

    " I've enjoyed reading about this world from the very beginning. The sequel to The Magnolia League is every bit as fast-paced and elegant as its predecessor. I highly recommend this book, but only if you've read the first book already. :) "

    " Entertaining enough that I read it until the end. But not the super wow that I think it could have been. Great if you're just looking for something fun to read. "

    " Glad I didn't buy this. It's very different from the first book, and there were several times where i wanted to slap Hayes and Alex around a little bit. Writing definitely was the major issue for me. "

    " I liked the first one much better. I wasn't too excited about this one. Part of it was that I forgot a lot of book one, and I kept forgetting who was talking because of the alternating chapters. "
