I picked this up because it was the Kindle Deal of the Day, and the movie is out. And it isn't a bad read--it's interesting to see this done from the non-supernatural AND male point of view. (I guess Twilight starts out as being from the non-supernatural point of view, too. Actually, I would recommend this book to anyone who liked Twilight, though I didn't like that and DID like this. It's got the same overblown-teenage-feelings, things-out-of-our-control, high-school-sucks vibe, but in the South and with better writing. And basically-witches instead of basically-vampires.)

I'd call it "urban fantasy," but it's very rural. Maybe "modern fantasy."
