Hex Hall by Rachel HawkinsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Avg rating: 3.99
Goodreads Summary:
Three years ago, Sophie Mercer discovered that she was a witch. It's gotten her into a few scrapes. Her non-gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie's estranged father—an elusive European warlock—only when necessary. But when Sophie attracts too much human attention for a prom-night spell gone horribly wrong, it's her dad who decides her punishment: exile to Hex Hall, an isolated reform school for wayward Prodigium, a.k.a. witches, faeries, and shapeshifters.
By the end of her first day among fellow freak-teens, Sophie has quite a scorecard: three powerful enemies who look like supermodels, a futile crush on a gorgeous warlock, a creepy tag-along ghost, and a new roommate who happens to be the most hated person and only vampire student on campus. Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her only friend is the number-one suspect.
As a series of blood-curdling mysteries starts to converge, Sophie prepares for the biggest threat of all: an ancient secret society determined to destroy all Prodigium, especially her.
My Rating: 4.5
This has been on my to read shelf for so long.. I don't know why I put it off for as long as I did. The cover is actually very interesting and tells a lot about the book and I've been interested in it since I saw it.
This book was very Harry Potter meets Vampire Academy. I appreciated it for the fact that the magic doer wasn't a human-who-just-found-out-she-has-powers type. I also like that humans know about witches and magic and it's not this big secret thing.
The pace of the book was nice.. It wasn't action packed or too dramatic. It was full of good character building and story. I didn't much like the love story part of it cause I feel like it happened so quickly and dramatically. Regardless of that, I am still pretty shocked by the ending and want to know what happened to Archer!
So with that being said it's on to the next one!
