I fully expected to be entertained based on these parameters and for the first chapters my expectations were fully met.
That promise to me, was that Hex Hall was going to be a funny, light, mindless read.
When one sees the two covers of Hex Hall and then reads the blurb, there is a certain alignment inside based on the promise made by the combination of the two. How did I get this book: Review copy from S&S UK. Then, positive reviews started to emerge in the US making me even more psyched about it. Why did I read this book: I had been waiting for this ever since I first heard about it towards the end of 2009. Stand alone or series: First book in a planned series Hardcover: 336 pages (US) / Paperback: 336 pages Publisher: Hyperion Book CH (US) / Simon and Schuster Children (UK) Worse, Sophie soon learns that a mysterious predator has been attacking students, and her only friend is the number-one suspect.Īs 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. witches, faeries, and shapeshifters.īy 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 on campus. 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. Her non-gifted mother has been as supportive as possible, consulting Sophie’s estranged father–an elusive European warlock–only when necessary.
Three years ago, Sophie Mercer discovered that she was a witch.
