Editorial Reviews

Envy is next on Robin Wasserman's list in the Seven Deadly Sins series. The clan from the launch title, Lust, is back; the new installment opens as Beth traces Adam's back while contemplating her suspicions of Adam and Kaia ("who looked like a model and sounded... like a phone sex operator"). The author fills readers in as they go, so they can pick up here or start with the first book-which PW called a "guilty pleasure." Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

Publishers Weekly

Gr 9 Up-This sequel to Lust (S & S, 2005) rejoins the overindulged, morally bankrupt students of Haven High who are looking to entertain themselves with sex, parties, and alcohol. They all want relationships with someone who is unavailable and are willing to do anything, and hurt anyone, to achieve their goal. As with the earlier book, the truly unlikable characters are overshadowed by surprisingly good storytelling. Honor and trust are unimportant and the cruelty shown to best friends is especially appalling. Readers who are looking for a fast-paced, soap-opera-style novel will enjoy this compelling and frightening look into what kids today are talking about and dealing with.-Stephanie L.
