Rosemary Clement-Moore s has somehow gone back in time and infiltrated my mind during my high school years. Maggie Quinn (Clement Moore's main character) is the kind of girl I would have wanted to be had she written these books about 10 to 15 years ago. She's sassy, she smart, and she has all the great one-liners you wish you would have thought to say.

After reading the first book, I didn't know if the series would get better but I was so wrong. The 2nd book got even better and I couldn't wait till the next page to see how things would turn out for Maggie.

Hell Week is the second title in Rosemary Clement-Moore's "Maggie Quinn: Girl vs. Evil" series. In this outing, college freshman Maggie Quinn has gone undercover at Bedivere University and is publishing an anonymous expose for the University's newspaper on the ins and outs of rushing a sorority. Things are complicated somewhat by the fact that Mags has the Sight and the particular sorority reaching its tentacles toward her seems to be just a bit "off." Off--as in potential

I am sure I'm not the first person to describe this book as "Veronica Mars meets Buffy", nor will I be the last. For a girl who has spent the summer obsessed with the Slayer, and who is more likely to pop in a V*Mars DVD than to ever tune into Jersey Shore, that combination won me over completely. Clement-Moore lands the snarky voice, awesome family dynamic and mystery of Veronica, with the cool underworld mystery of the Buff.

The Setting — is still Avalon, but now Maggie Quinn is in college. The setting is a a normal enough college conglomerate of locations and Maggie’s home.
The Characters — are composed of some returning faces, like Maggie, Lisa, Gran, and Justin, and the Sorority Girls. I’ll be honest, I got confused with a lot of the new characters.

When I got this from the library I didn’t realize that it was a part of an ongoing series, but that didn’t take away from the book itself. In fact, I think that since it was the second book, it was quite easy to catch on to what had happened in the first one. Plus, the subject matter was incredibly entertaining, so that added to it.

Honestly? I always knew that sorority girls had a compact with Satan. [Grin:] The second of the Maggie Quinn books delivers an excellent follow-up to Prom Dates, although, for the more intuitively sensitive reader, it has difficult moments to read comfortably. The evil spell that Maggie labours under reminds one of depression and the book is so well crafted that readers do get a clear sense of Maggie's suffering.

I actually really liked this book. It was full of cliches though. I love witty banter and sarcasm, which makes for great elemental writing in my opinion. I would also like to read a sequel...maybe my wish will come true. Hoping. Possibly. (well, crap. I just found out this book is actually the sequel to a first book.

With her trademark wit and humor, Rosemary Clement-Moore delivers another crowd-pleaser in her Maggie Quinn: Girl vs. Evil series, though I’m beginning to think the story may be falling into a rather predictable rut. The characters, especially Maggie and those closest to her, are lively, and don’t fall into stereotypical categories of “MC’s steadfast best friend, “MC’s perfect unrequited love,” “The Villain,” and so on. Maggie’s parents keep dry wit constantly on hand, and Justin, Maggie’s love

I haven't read Prom Dates from Hell, Rosemary Clement-Moore's first book in this series, but that didn't make this book any less enjoyable. Although I probably missed some references to the events in the first book, I never felt lost or confused reading Hell Week on its own. I liked the way the author made me feel a part of Maggie's experience with college and rush (flashback!) and dealing with her growing psychic ability.

This book is about two girls, one a witch in training and the other a psychic, who come across a small town in Texas and some strange beasts who are killing the livestock and are now threatening the humans. Could it be a chupacabra or something much more evil. This is the third book in the series Maggie Quinn: girl versus evil.

Book #2 in the "Maggie Quinn: Girl vs. Evil" series. Another gem. At the start of this volume, Maggie and Lisa are both in their first semesters of college...with a friendship that is strained thanks to both the long distance now separating them AND the fact that Lisa dabbles with magic freaks Maggie out (since the last "dabble" brought forth a demon). Justin is also still in the picture, having just returned from an internship in Ireland. So, Maggie is getting her life back

Here’s a good example of straying from the norm. Vampires and werewolves (although I haven’t read anything on the latter) aren’t the only supernatural beings. There are demons. And magic. Yay! Think of a less scary version of the Demonata series. But with a charmingly witty girl protagonist, her TA knight in shining armor, a witchy (literally) best friend, a whole bunch of nasty glares from her sorority sisters, and alumnae’s with demon contracts. I loved it. Maggie Quinn is like another Veronic

Maggie Quinn has matured since the first book, and so has the writing of Clement-Moore. Maggie is a geeky and witty as the first book, but she's less of an outcast. There aren't many surprises in the novel, but it's full of buffy-style demon butt kicking. The sexual maturity has grown up a bit too. There's nothing too graphic, but the book does acknowledge its existence and that college kids do it, so may not be suitable for younger readers. If you're expecting high literature, look elsewhe

Maggie Quinn is back! And I still love her...this time, she takes on mystical sorority sisters in a place where she belongs, but not really. As always, Rosemary Clement-Moore oozes wit and intelligence through Maggie...I was thinking that "Hell Week" might be mostly like "Prom Dates", but it was different where it needed to be different, still possessing the elements I loved about the first book...I can't wait to read the third one! Talk about an engaging series...

I can't get enough of Maggie! I love her sarcastic outlook on life, as well as all the paranormal activity she gets sucked into. The stakes are higher in this one, and the storyline is well-crafted and extremely suspenseful. I loved reading about Maggie's thoughts concerning sororities and Greek life as a whole, as they were absolutely hilarious. I really enjoyed reading about the on/off relationship between Maggie and Justin too- very romantic. I'm eagerly anticipating the third book in the ser

While the main conflict of this installment does lift…well, everything from clichéd B movie plot (Sorority girls from Hell!), Clement-Moore still manages to make the second book in the Maggie Quinn series entertaining and funny.

A good read for sure. The author most certainly knows 'Greek' life, which fuels the fascinating premise of what could happen when a sorority goes BAD.
I suspect the author wrote a longer book that her editor had her cut. Frankly, that is a shame. The conclusion would have had more impact if there had been more 'showing' in extra chapters, than the summarizations. Or perhaps I just enjoyed the writing enough to wish the book had been longer.

This book is great. I do know the author personally but my literary integrity would not allow me to heap praise if it was undeserved. :) It is so refreshing to see a YA heroine he isn't either, vapid, weak, or so co-dependent that she is merely a prop for which the male characters to bounce off of, or worse on top of.

Maggie Quinn is a reluctant psychic with a sharp wit and an independent spirit. Her gift allows her to be aware of the forces of evil as they surround her in both high school and college – often in the guise of mean cheerleaders, spooky sorority girls, or Texas monsters. Funny and clever reading.

Pretty good, doesn't live up to its hype. (Although that might be the translation from screen to page -- Buffy on the page might not be as great either....). But v. clever with a great balance of battling evil and romantic intrigue. I did enjoy how the story unfolded. The choices some of the characters had to face are not often tackled in teen lit.

I can now say that the second book is better than the first no matter how much I like the first one. Dang. I do love the series!
Thought the first half is quite slow, in the end I saw the reason why it is that way. It's also a good thing that the 'demon' did not materialized into its true form because, honestly, I'd be scared out of my wits.
