This was interesting, but not in the best way. It feels very much like a rehash of the movie The Craft. The group of kids is bigger, and there are multiple genders, but this is a retelling of the Craft, with a tad bit of Something is killing the children thrown in. It’s not a bad story, but it jumps, frequently. The ideas are mostly smooth, but the action goes forward, jumps, goes forward, jumps etc. That is annoying. There is not time to develop a feel for the characters of how they feel about the situations taking place around them. Overall, this is a good start, but I will reserve more judgement until the next volume is released. This could either go on to become a great series, or flush itself-down the toilet.
