Elite Upper East Side Witches Rule Park Avenue! 666 Park Avenue by Gabriella Pierce kicks off a wonderfully high concept and richly gothic contemporary series about the darkness lurking behind the gilded halls of New York City high society. For the original Gossip Girl and The Vampire Diaries fan who’s grown up and is ready for an edgier, more sophisticated read, 666 Park Avenue is the perfect paranormal diversion.

This book has been sitting on my shelf for a few years now. I've just never actually picked it up and started reading. After reading, I have mixed feelings. The writing was good. The characters were okay. But there was something that felt a bit too much like The Vampire Diaries, etc. Too soap opera in its tone. I finished the book and decided that I would probably finish the series, but only because I sorta want to see how it ends.

Television Show:

Wow! That was a waste of my hour. The television show has basically nothing to do with the book series. As far as I can tell from the pilot, the only similarities are that there is a building in New York City and the main female character's name is Jane. That's it! And don't get me started on the acting. It was torture just getting through the first episode. I am officially not going back to the rest of the series. Done and done!
