White Cat/ Holly Black/ 310 pages

White Cat is the first book in the Curse Workers series. I really liked the book, after I made it 1/2 way through. The first half of the book was kind of confusing, but I think that it was really setting up the whole series. And the book is told in first person and poor Cassel doesn't know what's happening to him either, so I suppose that helps to give you a better sense of how confusing all this curse worker stuff is to him too. This is a modern day society in america, but everyone wears gloves on the off chance that they are a "worker" or someone with the ability to curse others. But, cursing has backlash and of course not everyone uses their abilities for good.
