Hex Hall

Omg. I'm super mad right now because something went wrong with my computer and I lost EVERYTHING I wrote on here. Sigh... I guess I'll just write my review again. I finished Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins. It was really good!
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 tagalong 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.

So I was a little hesitant about picking up this book, (as always), and I actually turned out loving it. I wasn't really into the whole warlock and witches thing, more of a wizard type, but this book really changed my mind. First of all, what a awesome character Sophie is. She was so funny and absolutely delightful to read. She wasn't stupid and made the right choices, and she wasn't boring. She was full of life. The plot of the book was at first, just like any other murder mystery, but turned out to be way different. In a good way, of course. From the moment I read the first sentence, I was hooked. It was always one thing after another that happened and kept things interesting, it was amazing. The ending was quite a shocker, I have to say. I mean, like have you're mouth hanging open kind. But the good thing was, it kept me wanting more. And I'm soooo excited to read Demonglass, the second in the series. Now here's another character I loved, Archer. Archer was aamaazzinnnggg. Even though he seemed like a jerk, he was extremely funny like Sophie and of course, gorgeous. (Or you know, as gorgeous as you get written in words). All in all, this book was very, very good and is a must read whether you're a warlock fan or not.

This book deserves...
5 STARS!
