Three years ago, on her thirteenth birthday, Sophia Mercer discovered she was a witch. And now, after numerous magical mishaps, she's been exiled to Hex Hall - a reform school for witches, faeries, and shapeshifters. (Oh my!)
Of course, there's a vampire or two thrown in, too. And who does Sophie end up with for a roommate?
And now, with enemies that look like supermodels, a crush on the most desired warlck in the school, a ghost that won't leave her alone, and the most hated person in the school for a best friend - a mysterious predator starts attacking students.
What's a witch to do?
Mad props for an EXCELLENT debut novel from Rachel Hawkins!
I loved all the different creatures in Hex Hall - they were all brought together brilliantly and portrayed creatively. I loved the plot line, the characters - there had better be a sequel, because I'm excited to see what she does with this world.
There were a few predictable bits, but the overall plot line was wonderfully engaging. There were some plot twists I didn't expect at all, and I LOVED them!
Overall Rating & Final Comments: 9/10 - a fantastic fantasy read that'll keep you on the edge of your seat. Well, mostly.
Cover Comments: It's a beautiful cover to begin with, and once you've read the story, go back and look again - it connects!
