Demonglass by Rachel HawkinsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Avg rating: 4.16
Goodreads Summary:
Sophie Mercer thought she was a witch. That was the whole reason she was sent to Hex Hall, a reform school for delinquent Prodigium (a.k.a. witches, shape-shifters, and faeries). But then she discovered the family secret, and the fact that her hot crush, Archer Cross, is an agent for The Eye, a group bent on wiping Prodigium off the face of the earth.
Turns out, Sophie's a demon, one of only two in the world-the other being her father. What's worse, she has powers that threaten the lives of everyone she loves. Which is precisely why Sophie decides she must go to London for the Removal, a dangerous procedure that will either destroy her powers for good-or kill her.
But once Sophie arrives, she makes a shocking discovery. Her new housemates? They're demons too. Meaning, someone is raising demons in secret, with creepy plans to use their powers, and probably not for good. Meanwhile, The Eye is set on hunting Sophie down, and they're using Archer to do it. But it's not like she has feelings for him anymore. Does she?
Actual Rating: 4.0
What a cliff hanger! When the book ended I was like what? Really? So much for the epic battle scene I was expecting.
This book was good although not as good as the first one. There was a bit of a love triangle which was interesting and I liked Cal but it was always clear that she'd stay with Archer.
I thought she was being dumb for a while, clearly Archer is "one of the bad guys". I guess this book was supposed to lay out what was going on behind the scenes during the first book and set it up for the next one. Unfortunately it felt like just that.. A bridge between the beginning and end.
Overall I enjoyed the book and I will read the next one but maybe I won't be in as big of a hurry to get to it then I was to get to this one.
