I haven't read much YA but I liked this book. It had an interesting plot.
Think of it as The Craft meets El Barrio.
The Revenge Artist is just a tad bit similar to your typical high school story: just your shy and utmost attractive, antisocial, art freak developing the hots for the most popular boy in the school.

I received this book as part of a goodreads giveaway. To be honest the book started out pretty slow and I probably would've stopped reading if it weren't the fact that I got it for free. But I'm so glad I continued reading because I ended up loving this book!! Once the plot picked up I found myself being pulled along an emotional rollercoaster ride. There were points where I stop reading to take all the emotions of the book in. I would highly recommend this book.
Pretty good book about typical high school drama, with supernatural elements.

Very well written, and a very intriguing storyline, and hitting on high school and the highs and lows of being in school, along with the social issues of sex in schools, self-cutting and bullying. But this book takes that to a new level.
This books leaves a lot of decision making up to the reader, and any of the answers that you come up with, would not be right, or wrong.
