Review: Alright, but not as great as I was led to believe.

First off, this book's cover has nothing to do with the book itself. This girl doesn't even like to dress up! I understand the color correlation, but that's it.On to the book: The writing is a bit choppy, but it's easy to ignore. Thankfully, the editing is good. What I couldn't ignore was the 'heroine's' ridiculousness. It's like she had no will of her own and was so into herself that she didn't even notice her 'friends' were not her friends. I am disappointed that she isn't a stronger character. Also the dialogue is a bit redundant. Okay, very redundant. There are paragraphs where something is being explained, then the next character explains it AGAIN.The idea is different, and for that alone, gives the review a few stars. I highly enjoy the ability these characters have, and there's great potential here, but it's not clear exactly what can be done with them. 'Taking over the world', and 'her eyes filled with greed' are not helpful if you have no idea how they can be accomplished.The 'bad guy' was also a bit ridiculous. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be a whodunnit, but there is no way to hide who he was in this writing.Sadly, I will not be reading any sequels of this book. The promise is there, and I am sure the writer will do better the next book, but I am already turned off to the writing and characters, especially the main one.
