Publisher's summary

The Junior League of Willow Creek, Texas, is très exclusive. Undesirables need not apply. Fredericka Mercedes Hildebrand Ware (Frede to her friends) is a member beyond reproach...until her life begins to unravel. When her husband betrays her, steals her money, and runs off to places unknown, it's something Frede would prefer to keep under wraps. The last thing she needs is to become fodder for the JLWC gossip mill. And to make matters worse, there's only one person in town who stands a chance at helping her get revenge - Howard Grout, a tasteless, gold-chain-wearing lawyer who has bought his way into Frede's tony neighborhood. But there's a price: She has to get his tacky, four-inch-stiletto-and-pink-spandex-wearing wife, Nikki, into the Junior League.

The crème de la crème of Southern royalty should sit up and take notice, and hang on tight for this irresistible tale of getting in and getting even.

What does Jenna Lamia bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Janna Lamia does a great job with the southern voices and characters.

Who was the most memorable character of The Devil in the Junior League and why?

You want to love and hate the main character but it is really the rest of the characters that make the story. It s really hard to choose your favorite.

Loved it!

I Absolutely adored this book! The story, and especially the performance was awesome! I couldn’t put it down.

Outstanding!

This is not my norma type of book but I throughly enjoyed this book. Lots of twists and turn and very fast pasted and full of humor and interesting situations. The only thing was the accent which was ok sometimes bad sometimes bad. Worth the credit!

Fun! Very engaging.

This is a very entertaining, light read. The characters were enjoyable and the Southern customs were a kick. Very satisfying over all.

I hated it, then I laughed...

I really hated the main character Fredi, and almost gave up on this book. But about 2 hours into it, I started to laugh and after that the rest is history. I really enjoyed this book. Yes, the main character is a snob. Yes, she is spoiled. Yes she is clueless and self centered and all the characteristics most people hate in a person. And well, because I'm a little evil, I really enjoyed it when her life began to fall apart. And as her life is spiraling out of control she still maintains her Junior League, lady in beige, keep all your emotions tucked in tight decorum. Because she is so uptight and ridiculous and the story is funny. Jenna Lamia, the same narrator from The Help is so awesome int his book. I love her voice and she gives Fredi, the female protagonist dimension and humanity. This is a feel good story. Fun, light and entertaining. I highly recommend.

Enjoyable, entertaining and well written read and story. Would have chosen different approach to narration

I give this book and performance a solid 5 stars. But I wasn’t happy with 2 things I discovered the book only because I love Jenna Lamia’s voice and narration, and always search for anything she narrates. This is not a disparagement whatsoever against Ms. Lamia, because she is perfect, however I really wish the producers had just let her read it in her own natural voice. The high pitched sometimes screechy Texan drawl was very difficult to listen to. My second complaint has to do with certain plot twists near the end, which I found too convenient and rather unbelievable. Having mentioned those things, I will say overall I got past those annoyances and thoroughly enjoyed the writer’s prose and the rest of the story line. I’m really glad I read this book and look forward to taking a look at this author’s other works.

Fun and funny but not too predictable

This is a great light read, humorous and not as predictable as many books in this genre. I enjoyed it.

Love, Love, LOVE this narrator!

I can listen to Jenna Lamia anytime--her narration in "The Help" absolutely made that audiobook and this one as well!! Fun listen.
