Magic, hotties, a new world, and a feisty lead.  MJ Fletcher pulls you in and keeps you flipping pages with The Doorknob Society.Once I got into the story I started to really like Chloe.  She is feisty, stands up to anyone and everyone and as every teenage girl, she has issues.  Her attitude and quick thinking keeps the story moving along at a nice pace.In my opinion, MJ Fletcher's biggest accomplishment with this story would have to be the concept.  Fletcher took old, everyday objects, mixed in some magic and changed them into a fresh new idea.  With suspense, adventure, romance, and mystery tied in, the storyline keeps you wanting more until the very end.However, I think this story still needs some tender love and care.  The two main issues I had were the technical aspects and repetition.  There were many spelling and grammar issues and unfortunately as the reader (this may also be the writer in me) I felt as if I needed to pull out my red pen.  This really pulls you away from the action in the story.  Also, throughout most of the book I was frustrated with all the repetition.  If Chloe wasn't thinking about not wanting a relationship, she was thinking about how broken she was.  Every chapter seemed to touch on this, and at times I wanted to scream, Okay, we get it. You don't want a relationship.  Move on.With that said, when I hit the halfway mark of the book, I did in fact start to like Chloe.  Her constant reminders of how broken she was didn't bother me as much and I became very intrigue with James Nightshade.  He brought out a different side of Chloe, which definitely was not annoying.All in all, this was an entertaining read, and I would recommend it.
