From Booklist
As in the previous titles of the Maggie Quinn: Girl vs. Evil series, this one overflows with plot twists, relationship issues, and enough good humor to keep the reader from choking on the premise, which has Maggie, now a college freshman, and her sorceress friend, Lisa, fighting evil in the form of a petroleum-like creature while on spring break in Texas. Unlike many evil-manifested-as-monsters novels for teens, this one isnβt afraid to discuss the role of traditional religion in mere mortalsβ attempts to keep earthly order. As with any good roller-coaster ride, the overall thrills outweigh any desire to question credulity. Grades 8-10. --Francisca Goldsmith
Product Description
Maggie Quinn was expecting to find plenty of trouble with Lisa over Spring Break. Give a girl a bikini, a beachfront hotel, and an absent boyfriend, and itβs as good as a road map to the dark side. But Maggie doesnβt have to go looking for trouble. Trouble has started looking for her. One dead cow and a punctured gas tank later, she and Lisa are stuck in
Dulcina, Texasβa town so small that it has an owner. And lately life in this small town hasnβt been all that peaceful. An eerie predator is stalking the ranchland.
Everyone in town has a theory, but not even Maggieβs psychic mojo can provide any answers. And the longer the girls are stranded, the more obvious it becomes that something is seriously wrong. Only no oneβnot even Maggieβs closest allyβwants to admit that they could have been forced on a detour down the highway to hell.
